«La sculpture du vivant» is the philosophical essay by Jean Claude Ameisen, published by Seuil in paperback (337 pages, in French).
Essay on apoptosis or programmed cell death: every cell contains the mechanisms for self-destruction, and this orderly process sculpts the body, for example by separating the fingers during embryonic development. Its malfunction lies at the origin of major diseases.
Subtitled «Le suicide cellulaire ou la mort créatrice», it belongs to the Science ouverte collection and received the Jean Rostand Prize for scientific popularization and the Philosophy Prize of the French Academy.
A read for those who want to understand life from cellular biology and philosophical reflection.
