La pensee scientifique ne nait jamais dans le vide : elle se forge a partir dune certaine vision du monde, empreinte des croyances philosophiques, religieuses ou metaphysiques propres a chaque epoque. La serie Des savants et des dieux explore cette dimension meconnue de la science en etudiant six grandes civilisations, Mesopotamie, Grece, Rome, Islam, Byzance et Occident latin. Couvrant plus de 4 000 ans dhistoire, elle revele linfluence decisive des idees et croyances sur les savoirs scientifiques. Plus encore, elle montre que dans les transmissions entre civilisations, ce qui est rejete est souvent aussi significatif que ce qui est conserve, eclairant sous un nouveau jour la question des declins scientifiques ou les resistances face aux idees nouvelles. Solidement documentee, mobilisant des milliers darchives, cette enquete offre une lecture inedite et passionnante des conditions culturelles des decouvertes scientifiques.
