Lois des dieux, des hommes et de la nature
Book in French — English title: Laws of Gods, Men and Nature
This volume is the outcome of a project at the IEA de Nantes, proposed by its curator, and of a first conference devoted to certain aspects of that project. It originates in a scientific question: to discuss the notion of law in biology, starting from the theory of evolution and the meaning the notion has, or should have, there, as compared with the meaning given to it by modern and contemporary physics.
The role of the mathematised laws of physics is generally presented as a paradigm valid for every discipline, and is thus extended from biology to equilibrium economics and to the quantification of many social domains.
With this volume we wish to contribute to a reflection which, while starting from within the natural sciences, addresses the human sciences and allows a better appreciation of the strength, but also the limits, of these transfers.
Mathematician, logician and epistemologist, Giuseppe Longo is Emeritus Research Director at the CNRS, based at the ENS. He has taught and carried out research at the University of Pisa and, in the USA, at Carnegie Mellon, MIT and Berkeley. He is co-author of Categories, Types and Structures (with A. Asperti, 1991), Mathématiques et sciences de la nature. La singularité physique du vivant (with F. Bailly, 2006) and Perspectives on Organisms: Biological Time, Symmetries and Singularities (with M. Montévil, 2014).
An editor of numerous scientific journals, he has been a member of the Academia Europaea since 1992.
This volume contains the proceedings of a conference held at the Institut d’études avancées de Nantes on 15 and 16 October 2015. The conference was the first public initiative of the project of the same name hosted by the institute.
