The meetings with Henri Atlan were published by Bayard editions: La Philosophie dans l’éprouvette, conversation avec Pascal Goblot.

Henri Atlan is a pioneer of theories on complexity and auto-organization of the living. Biologist, doctor, philosopher, reader of Spinoza and Talmud, his works and his reflexion lent him a singular place in contemporary thinking, at the crossroad of science, philosophy and ethics.

He is an unclassifiable thinker, free and always surprising.

The film takes us in his life and thoughts, from Paris to Jerusalem, through the Hague, in the footsteps of Spinoza.

It is a journey through ideas, knowledge and places, from a question, a simple question : “What is life ?”.
