Tentatives de lucidité

For three years now Albert Jacquard has been animating a daily five minute programme on France Culture entitled 'Albert Jacquard's vision' in which he briefly discusses a question of general interest. His goal is always the same: to attempt to be more lucid, to not be contented with ready-made ideas, to challenge the exclusively commercial logic which governs all decisions, to reintroduce into all aspects of life a human dimension. This book contains a selection of some of these texts which offer a complete overview of the great themes of Jacquard's thought: science, the future of humanity, the imposture of economy, human encounters, civil commitment. Each text consists of two or three pages. The geneticist and author of best-sellers Albert Jacquard no longer needs an introduction. His talent of addressing in a language that is accessible to all society's questions and the great problems of humanity have made him one of the most read authors in France today.
