Title : What if the human adventure were to fail - Théodore Monod - book
Summary :
Human history is that of a species that gradually takes precedence over others. Man invents tools, masters fire, explores, conquers, and understands. In a few millennia of dazzling progress, he becomes the king of creation.
Yet this story can end. By unbalancing his relationship with nature, by embarking on the criminal and mad adventure of nuclear power, man also demonstrates his inability to overcome the impulse toward violence and death within himself. Yes: today, we know, the human adventure can fail.
Geologist, botanist, archaeologist, man of commitment and faith, Théodore Monod addresses this question in all its dimensions. The scientist illuminates the profound and complex relationships between man and the biosphere. The believer encourages us to become truly human; the non-violence activist, to rebel against the madness of governments, and also against our own passivity...
At the beginning of this millennium, this rigorous essay, written for a wide audience, provides some essential pointers. And while it sounds the alarm, it also reminds us that there is still room for hope.
