«Deus Não Joga aos Dados» is the philosophical essay by Henri Laborit, published in Portuguese by Publicações Europa-América.
Henri Laborit draws on biology, mathematics, physics or astrophysics to reflect on the structure of the universe and on whether human beings can ever discover it. Faced with the possibility of an indeterminate universe, he recalls that Einstein stated that God does not play dice and wonders whether man will be able to avoid doing so.
For readers interested in the philosophy of science and in questions about the indeterminism of the universe.
Henri Laborit was a French surgeon, neurobiologist, writer and philosopher. In 1952, Laborit was instrumental in the development of the drug chlorpromazine, published his findings, and convinced three psychiatrists to test it on a patient, resulting in great success. Laborit was recognized for his work, but as a surgeon searching for an anesthetic, he came to be at odds with psychiatrists who made their own discoveries and competing claims.
