Summary:
À 32 ans, Glenn Gould décide de ne plus se produire en public en faveur des enregistrements en studio. Ce revirement dans sa carrière restait à ce jour une énigme. Il s’en explique ici, dans un texte étonnant. Pourtant, il affranchit d’emblée : il ne souhaite pas parler de musique. De quoi, selon lui, favoriser les révélations. Et en effet. Mais la forme même du texte est plus évocatrice encore; dans ce dialogue avec lui-même, l’auteur met en scène un subtil jeu de thèses-antithèses. L’attraction magnétique que le musicien exerce sur son public ravit ici, au sens propre et figuré, le lecteur.

Summary:
Despite the significance of the natural sciences for humanity’s present and future, the principles of today’s scientific practices are often not exposed to the broad social discourse they deserve. Through a combination of philosophy and photography, Jana Hartmann produces a visual exploration of the history of alchemy and science. In the book, she initiates an intriguing dialogue on reductionistic and holistic worldviews, using excerpts from both alchemical writings and modern scientific publications, interwoven with selectively framed images of scientific phenomena. In examining humanity’s conquest of nature, Hartmann fosters curiosity towards a world that all too often remains opaque.

Autant de questions que Baptiste Denis, jeune conseiller municipal, a posées à Jean Jouzel, l’un des plus grands climatologues français. Leur dialogue, mis à jour et augmenté dans cette réédition, présente de nouvelles questions qui ont émergé en 2020 et 2021.
