Decolonization got us closer to universality, which is attained when decentering one from his tribe.

Maxzor finished reading Entretiens sur la multitude du monde by Thibault Damour
L’un est un écrivain et un scénariste célèbre. L’autre est un physicien et un chercheur …
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.

Maxzor finished reading Les rêveries du promeneur solitaire by Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The Reveries of the Solitary Walker (French: Les rêveries du Promeneur Solitaire) is an unfinished …
Exquisite french prose since it is Rousseau, but I found the subjects quite boring, and the pathos churning, despite the delicacy of the inquiry into human feelings. I got a strong impression of nature across the Paris outskirts of the XVIIIth and this particular swiss island.

Maxzor finished reading The Sea Around Us by Rachel Carson
The book is dated in some places - paleo-oceanography, climate change - but its beautiful prose helps it resist time. It made me want to reach some day Saint Paul's rocks on the mid-Atlantic ridge, 700km north-east of Fernando de Noronha :)

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

Maxzor commented on Liberté, dignité, habitabilité by Baptiste Morizot
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.

I thought of it as an interesting testimony from an actor at the core of french and international climate politics. Some chapters were more those of a pundit, such as Naomi Klein or Giuliano da Empoli, I found them much less interesting.

The essay appears to me as humble, precise, scholarly, with a nice balance between its scientific and literary aspects.
