«Le dernier qui s'en va éteint la lumière» is an essay on the extinction of humanity by Paul Jorion, published by Fayard in paperback.
The essay starts from the observation that the human species finds itself on the brink of extinction and from the lukewarm commercial reaction to the threat. It examines the human psychic constitution, marked by the awareness of death, and argues that understanding ourselves is essential to avoid the end.
The book is part of the Documents collection, appeared in 2016, and includes bibliographic references (pages 275-282).
Suitable for readers of essays and social sciences interested in the collective fate of humanity.
Paul Jorion is an anthropologist and sociologist with a special interest in the cognitive sciences. He has also written seven books on capitalist economics.
