«Éloge de la fuite» is the essay by biologist and philosopher Henri Laborit, published by Gallimard as a paperback (186 pages, in French).
In this essay, Henri Laborit examines free will and personality in light of biological discoveries. He argues that revolt, individual or collective, reproduces patterns of submission, and proposes flight as the only alternative; politics and society thus acquire a new dimension.
Work originally published in 1976; this paperback edition is from 1985 and belongs to the Folio Essais collection.
For readers interested in philosophy, psychology, and social criticism from a scientific perspective.
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.
