«La passion de connaître» is André Valenta's essay on universe, life, man and spirit, published by Editions du Rocher in paperback (575 pages).
André Valenta offers a journey through the formation of the cosmos and the organisation of matter up to the emergence of life and the rise of human intelligence. From there, he connects scientific discoveries with the philosophical questions raised by knowledge, drawing an overall vision that encompasses the universe, the living, the human being and the spirit.
Originally published in 1991 and written in French, it includes a preface by palaeontologist Yves Coppens and belongs to the collection «L'Esprit et la matière».
For readers interested in scientific and philosophical popularisation and in an overall vision ranging from the cosmos to the human condition.
