«L'avenir de la science» is the philosophical essay by Ernest Renan, published by Flammarion in 1999 in paperback (542 pages, in French).
Ernest Renan reflects on the future of science and its place in society, combining the philosophical perspective with the historical one. The text starts from the impression that the social problems of 1848 made on the author and shows how those concerns were integrated into his thought, in a work that defends the value of scientific knowledge for civilization.
The work was originally published in 1890; the present Flammarion edition is from 1999.
For readers interested in nineteenth-century French philosophy and in the debate on the role of science in society.
