Livro - Que é o Ser Humano?, O - Sobre Os Princípios Fundamentais da Filosofia e da Biologia
As descobertas feitas pelas ciências da vida há alguns anos não podem deixar ninguém indiferente. Nenhum filósofo poderia doravante encerrar-se numa torre de marfim e ignorar os resultados das ciências positivas. Da mesma forma, nenhum biólogo pode desinteressar-se das questões filosóficas que surgem quase cada dia em seu trabalho.
Daí a aposta desta obra: iniciar-nos um ao outro, e por isso mesmo iniciar o leitor, aos elementos mais fundamentais de nossas duas disciplinas e dar acesso a uma das questões mais cruciais do pensamento moderno, a do estatuto do humano no seio do reino da natureza.

Τίποτα ιδιαίτερο. Μια Γενικη παρουσίαση της φιλοσοφίας και της βιολογίας αναφορικά με τον άνθρωπο. Τα περισσότερα είναι γνωστά.
