The foundation for the study of human problems during Vichy implemented the eugenics policies; his association as a regent and with ultra-nationalist Parti Populaire Franςais of Jacques Doriot led to investigations of collaborating with the Nazis, but he died at the end of his life before people ably held any trial.
People also elected Alexis Carrel, a prominent laureate, in 1924 and 1927 as an honorary member of the academy of sciences of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.

Nunca he sido un fan para leer Filosofía, nunca es mi primera opción, no es que no me gusta simplemente creo que el problema esta en como se lee la Filosofía. Al leerla solo estamos leyendo los pensamientos e ideas de una persona bajo cierta idea, y al terminar el libro solo leímos ideas, podemos creerlas o no. No digo que sea una mala lectura, tal vez yo este en lo equivocado, pero no me dejaran mentir cuando digo que leer Filosofía requiere cierto grado de compromiso, un compromiso que tal vez no tengo por mi falta de experiencia en el tema. Para concluir, cuál es la incógnita del hombre? Mas en concreto, qué creen que me falta al hombre?
