"Le mot "paradoxe" a plusieurs sens et tous interviennent dans cet ouvrage : il s’agit tantôt de ce qui est - ou paraît- contraire au sens commun, tantôt d’une vérité se présentant sous la forme fallacieuse d’une contradiction réelle, apparemment insoluble . Zénon d’Élée, Aristote, Léonard de Vinci, Lewis Carroll, Bergson, Einstein, Bertrand Russell, Louis de Broglie ne sont que quelques-uns des architectes et maçons de cette absurde maison des paradoxes où l’impossible est chose banale. L'auteur étudie les 5 grandes catégories de paradoxes : visuels (figures ambigües, anamorphoses...), l'infini (paradoxes du batracien), logiques (paradoxes du barbier, du menteur, dilemme du crocodile...), scientifiques (paradoxes des corbeaux et temporels de la relativité), du choix et de la prévision (dilemme du prisonnier, paradoxes de la probabilité)."

Genealogy of one of the most ancient and influential concepts in western thought: MimesisImitation is, perhaps more than ever, constitutive of human originality. Many things have changed since the emergence of an original species called Homo sapiens, but in the digital age humans remain mimetic creatures: from the development of consciousness to education, aesthetics to politics, mirror neurons to brain plasticity, digital simulations to emotional contagion, (new) fascist insurrections to viral contagion, we are unconsciously formed, deformed, and transformed by the all too human tendency to imitate-for both good and ill. Crossing disciplines as diverse as philosophy, aesthetics, and politics, Homo Mimeticus proposes a new theory of one of the most influential concepts in western thought (mimesis) to confront some of the hypermimetic challenges of the present and future.Written in an accessible yet rigorous style, Homo Mimeticus appeals to both a specialized and general readership. It can be used in courses of modern and contemporary philosophy, aesthetics, political theory, literary criticism/theory, media studies, and new mimetic studies.
