«Le crépuscule de Prométhée» is the philosophical essay by François Flahault, published by Mille et une nuits in paperback (290 pages, in French).
Starting from the myth of Prometheus, Flahault examines how the modern ideal of progress, founded on the alliance between science, technology and economy, has concealed an excess. Faced with material growth that clashes with the planet's limits, he proposes an archaeology of that ideal and defends post-Promethean thought to rethink the human condition, society and our relationship with the environment.
Published in 2008, it bears the subtitle «Contribution à une histoire de la démesure humaine» and belongs to the Essai collection.
For readers of philosophy and essays interested in the critique of progress, human excess and the ecological debate.
