Anthropology of Nature


Philippe Descola


It looks as though the anthropology of nature is an oxymoron of sorts, given that for the past few centuries, nature has been characterized in the West by humans’ absence, and humans, by their capacity to overcome what is natural in them. But nature does not exist as a...

Quantum Physics


Serge Haroche

The Grandeur and Misery of the Social State


Alain Supiot


The legal history of the construction of the social state gives an idea of its greatness. But this easy-going sovereign, tolerant to protest and accountable for its subjects’ well-being, seems to be struck by misery today. Exposed to systemic financial risks due to the...

Japanese Hieroglossia


Jean-Noël Robert

Religion, Institutions and Society in Ancient Rome


John Scheid
