But only in our own time are we beginning to see the true complexity of this quest, as today's philosophers draw on the latest evidence from neuroscience, psychology, artificial intelligence, linguistics, and other fields to probe deeply into the inner workings of the mind.

What were the forces that thrust the British Empire to its extraordinary position of greatness and then just as powerfully drove it into decline? And why is nearly every nation on earth, in one way or another, the consequence of the British Empire?In these 36 lectures, Professor Allitt leads you through four centuries of British power, innovation, influence, and, ultimately, diminishment-four profound centuries that literally remade the world and bequeathed the complex global legacy that continues to shape your everyday life.

But the fundamental questions of our lives are actually questions of value: What makes life worth living? Are there values that transcend cultural differences? Is all value subjective?

Jamais Darwin, penseur de la survie par la transformation, comme l'explique volontiers Patrick Tort, n'a été autant sollicité que depuis que les nations les plus arrogantes ressentent sourdement qu'elles vont périr si elles ne transforment pas leur rapport aux autres ainsi qu'à la nature. Car Darwin n'est pas seulement le génial concepteur de l'explication des transformations du monde vivant par la sélection naturelle.
