Des réflexions sur le lieu propre à un animal et des impressions de voyage de Marcel Proust étayent la construction
By Way of Conclusion
The concepts put in play in our problematics (determinism, chance, randomness, order, disorder, complexity, information . . . , etc.) all have this characteristic in common: they acquire a precise signification only in the framework of an explicit (mathematical) formalism. By not attaching these concepts to the formal framework which renders them precise, one is condemned to hold discourses not necessarily senseless, certainly, but of a fluidity,…

At the Boundaries of Man's Power
To understand the world, to act on the world, such are undoubtedly the goals of Science. At first glance, one might think that these two goals are inextricably bound. For in order to act, isn't it first necessary to have a good grasp of the situation? And inversely, isn't action indispensable in order to achieve a good understanding of phenomena? Such would undoubtedly be the case if St. Thomas' renowned adaequatio rei et intellectus always reign…
