Évolution de la méthode scientifique : le cas de la lumière


Descriptive

The theme of this session will be light. We will approach it in different ways and on different levels. We will start from the daily and supposedly “subjective” experience of light. We will then be led to the scientific experiments and conceptions of light which have marked the course of human history. We will thus be confronted with the discoveries, challenges and issues that are raised when science seeks to “shed light” on the light. The phenomenon of electricity, in its relation to light, will also be part of our research. Finally, we will try to investigate the more interior, more “poetic” resonances of the luminous phenomenon. Our study will therefore extend from electricity to interior light.

The objectives of the course are:

  • Better understand the light which is a universal and omnipresent phenomenon in everyone's life.

  • Give everyone the opportunity to connect and feel involved in evolution and scientific research.

  • Understand "reductionist" science and question the possibilities of expanding scientific knowledge.

Francois Lusseyran

After detours through biology and medicine, François Lusseyran studied physics. Following a doctoral thesis in fluid mechanics, he joined the CNRS as a researcher in 1984. At the same time, he deepened his link to anthroposophy. Currently this link is always more central. He is research director at the CNRS and works on the description of vortex structures and their control.
