This book of interviews retraces the intellectual adventure of a life, that of an exceptional scholar, Jean-Pierre Changeux, with his successes and his difficulties. Pioneer in the development of a new discipline, neuroscience, whose aim is to understand the complexity of our brain through the concomitant integration of its multiple levels of organization, from its molecular foundations to mental life and consciousness, Since 1983, with his resounding Neuronal Man, he has been able to interest a wide audience in the functioning of the human brain.

His reflection also extends to the sciences of man and society when he explains how determining the contribution of our cerebral equipment is to the genesis of ethical rules and to the understanding of art and its creation.

Faced with the "apocalypse" which threatens our planet, researchers have a share of responsibility, which is why Jean-Pierre Changeux calls for the establishment of true scientific and ethical education, applicable to both the political and to society as a whole.
