«A tort et à raison» is Henri Atlan's essay on the philosophy of science, published by Editions du Seuil in paperback (443 pages, in French).
Atlan defends several legitimate rationalities: those of the physical sciences, of the living and of man, and those of mystical and mythical traditions. He criticizes reducing them to an initiatory synthesis that reveals an ultimate reality, and proposes a «serious humor» that assumes the multiplicity and relativity of their games of knowledge, reason and language.
The book belongs to the «Science ouverte» collection of the Seuil publishing house. It includes a bibliography (pp. 361-437) and an index.
For readers interested in the philosophy of science, epistemology and the dialogue between reason and myth.
Henri Atlan is a French biophysicist and philosopher.
