«Le jeu des possibles» is François Jacob's essay on the diversity of living things, published by LGF in paperback (123 pages, in French).
François Jacob analyses biological evolution and the logic of the living: life does not follow a pre-set plan but acts like bricolage, using pre-existing materials and structures to create new forms and functions. He reflects on chance, necessity and the creativity of the evolutionary process.
Work originally published in 1981; this edition is from 1986, number 4045 in the Biblio Essais collection of Le Livre de Poche.
Will appeal to readers of science and philosophy, especially those seeking a reflection on evolution and its mechanisms.
Jacob François Marulaz or Marola, joined the Army of the Kingdom of France as a cavalry trooper and rose to become a field officer during the French Revolutionary Wars. Under the First French Empire, he became a general officer and fought under Emperor Napoleon in two notable campaigns.
