Ambika Kamath and Melina Packer reveal how scientists studying animal behavior have long projected human norms and values onto animals while seeking to understand them. When scientific studies conclude that these norms and values are natural in animals, it makes it easier to think of them as natural in humans too. And because scientists, historically and to this day, largely belong to elite, powerful segments of society, the norms and values embedded into animal behavior science match those of the already powerful.

Humans live in landscapes of make-believe. We spin fantasies. We devour novels, films, and plays. Even sporting events and criminal trials unfold as narratives. Yet the world of story has long remained an undiscovered and unmapped country. It's easy to say that humans are "wired" for story, but why? In this delightful and original book, Jonathan Gottschall offers the first unified theory of storytelling. He argues that stories help us navigate life's complex social problems.

Dans une civilisation déterminée par près de 2 000 ans de judéo-christianisme, les prismes d'analyse sont devenus communs aux penseurs, aux philosophies et à nos jugements, formant des œillères à l'exercice de la raison. Michel Onfray, par cet hommage à la sagesse populaire et aux enseignements de la nature, propose de s'en échapper. Le savoir empirique et pragmatique se place au cœur de la réflexion pour venir interroger nos rapports à la nature, à la vie qu'elle rend possible, et aux animaux qui la peuplent.
