Qu'est-ce que l'Homme ?
« Les découvertes accomplies par les sciences de la vie depuis quelques années ne peuvent laisser personne indifférent. Aucun philosophe ne saurait désormais s’enfermer dans une tour d’ivoire et ignorer les résultats des sciences positives ; aucun biologiste ne peut se désintéresser des enjeux philosophiques que soulève presque chaque jour son travail. D’où le pari de cet ouvrage : nous initier l’un l’autre, et par là même le lecteur, aux éléments les plus fondamentaux de nos deux disciplines et approcher l’une des questions les plus cruciales de la pensée moderne, celle du statut de l’humain au sein du règne de la nature. » L. F. et J.-D. V. Luc Ferry est notamment l’auteur du Nouvel Ordre écologique, de L’Homme-Dieu ou le sens de la vie et de La Sagesse des modernes, avec André Comte-Sponville. Jean-Didier Vincent est en particulier l’auteur de Biologie des passions, de La Chair et le Diable et de Faust. Une histoire naturelle, avec Jean-François Peyret.
