About this product
Product Information
Whitehead est un enigme: mathematicien, logicien, il est aussi un metaphysicien de premiere grandeur. Il a la reputation d'etre un auteur difficile. Ce n'est pas exact. Il est imaginatif et logique: il met en uvre, dans la construction d'une philosophie de la nature, la liberte du mathematicien. Non qu'il propose un utopie speculative: il ne redoute rien tant que d'echafauder un systeme. Il ecoute l'univers. Il y a chez lui le meme dessein de revenir aux choses elles-memes que dans la phenomenologie. Pourtant, l'esprit de l'entreprise est tout autre. Pour Whitehead, le but de la pensee speculative est l'edification de la cosmologie. On ne peut donc pas penser l'univers sans la mediation des sciences: le regard que nous posons sur la realite doit etre originaire et instruit. En meme temps, ce qui se revele, c'est un devenir creatif. En nous et hors de nous, rien n'est fixe, immobile, durable. Il nous est enjoint a la fois de naitre et de perir, sans pourtant sombrer dans le relativisme et le scepticisme. Lire Whitehead, c'est entrer dans un univers en essai.

Reviews
'Sagan’s writing can still inspire and stimulate. It deserves to be read by a new generation of scientists, scientifically inclined citizens, and indeed by any person with an interest in our place, and our future, in the cosmos.’Ian Crawford, The Observatory, 'Carl Sagan is a scientist of quality, who is also a writer of quality. [With] great intelligence, wit, and insight [The Cosmic Connection] is a success on every level.' Washington Post, 'Sagan's writing can still inspire and stimulate. It deserves to be read by a new generation of scientists, scientifically inclined citizens, and indeed by any person with an interest in our place, and our future, in the cosmos.' Ian Crawford, The Observatory, 'This book ... is a monument to a great man who succeeded, in spite of failures and disappointments, in changing our view of our planet and changing the way we think about the universe.' Freeman Dyson, author of Origins of Life, 'This book … is a monument to a great man who succeeded, in spite of failures and disappointments, in changing our view of our planet and changing the way we think about the universe.' Freeman Dyson, author of Origins of Life, "A perfect opener for readers new to Sagan's work....this informative text illuminates how our perspective on earth's place in the universe has evolved in the last half-century. Sagan's witty text is still a standard for stargazers as well as a reflection of how far society has to go." Publishers Weekly, 'Because [Carl Sagan] lived, the world’s a better place.’Keay Davidson, Biographer 'A Milestone in Popular Science Writing.’Astronomy, "Carl Sagan is a scientist of quality, who is also a writer of quality. [With] great intelligence, wit, and insight, The Cosmic Connection is a success on every level."

Keay Davidson, Biographer 'A Milestone in Popular Science Writing.' Astronomy, 'The astronomical discoveries we are in the midst of making are of the broadest human significance. If this book plays a small role in broadening public consideration of these exploratory ventures, it will have served its purpose.' Carl Sagan
