In their essays, Alexander von Humboldt, Henry David Thoreau, and Elisee Reclus are both naturalists and political thinkers. Describing the Earth and men as a universal totality that does not crush singularities, their science is written for everyone, outlining an environmentalism that was without precedent.
- By (author) Bertrand Guest
Review - French Geographes naturalistes et penseurs ethiques, politiques, tels sont Alexander von Humboldt, Henry David Thoreau et Elisee Reclus en leurs essais, qu'il faut relire comme litteraires. Alors que le XIX siecle broie l'inconnu et le sauvage, ils cherchent a connaitre la Terre et les hommes comme un tout sans que l'universel n'ecrase individus et singularites. Luttant contre les oppressions qu'ils documentent, ils pluralisent des sciences ecrites pour tous sans que la specialisation n'impose de separer les premieres en disciplines et les seconds en classes. Prefigurant une ecologie alternative qui reste encore inouie, cette tentative d'une autre modernite choisit l'essai qui ne divise ni ne simplifie le monde. Nommee cosmos, elle merite plus que jamais notre attention.
