Thibault Damour, Jean-Claude Carrière: Entretiens sur la multitude du monde (Paperback, French language, 2014, Odile Jacob)

I found this physics book a non-uninteresting and even quite a good piece.

There are forebodings of LIGO and LHC's Higgs boson detections ten years after. There are in there some topics skimmed that made the successes of various, more recent, vulgarisation works, such as the principle of least action with Veritasium on Youtube, or the three-body problem with Liu Cixin.

There is also a focus on string theory maybe a bit dated, or references to Hindu culture a little too pronounced.

I am eager to find more and better of this type of epistemologic book but from the 2020s.

Interesting essay, its tale of the word phronesis, whose meaning was lost, was very nice. I preferred the wisdom flowing from ancient Greece than the developments on current times

Baptiste Morizot, Laurent Neyret: Liberté, dignité, habitabilité (French language, 2026, Éditions Gallimard) No rating

A brillant call for a new core value, to be protected and normative: - Liberty in the XVIIIth, - Equality in the XIXth, - Dignity in the XXth, - Habitability in the 21st.
