Lecture - "Life as a Couple"
If the meaning of life is a number, it certainly isn't "one". There may be single-cell organisms, bacteria, yeast, plankton, and other protozoa... But even they need something else, namely an environment in which to exist. Every organic molecule, in addition to having a lifespan and sources of energy, is built on multiplicity, alterity, combinations of elements, carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, water... Naturally, such is the essence of life on Earth, the life of living things, but tells us nothing about the way in which humans choose to live that life. Lecture organised by the association Les Rencontres Philosophiques de Monaco.
