«L'heure de s'enivrer» is Hubert Reeves's popular science essay, published by Seuil in 1986 in paperback (279 pages, in French).
Hubert Reeves, an astrophysicist, analyses how the universe progressively generates ever more complex structures, from the nuclear reactions of stars to life and consciousness. He argues that this same complexity can lead to destruction, so it falls to the human being, as a conscious species, to give meaning to reality and avoid the absurd. A reflection on humanity's place in the cosmos and on the responsibility that intelligence entails.
Work from the Science ouverte collection of the French publisher Seuil.
Hubert Reeves was a French-Canadian astrophysicist and popularizer of science.
