Le « vivant » : une métaphysique profane anti-thèse de la métaphysique religieuse

This philosophical work focuses on the living beings' problematic. The author proposes an unusual method to pass from reflexion to philosophical thought. The purpose of this methodological approach is to open, to the reader, a comprehension of the living beings thought and philosophy that were developed by the XVIIIth century thinkers and the modern age and actual thinkers. The author allows, all throughout his reasoning to perceive how a “philosophy of the end” comes up and is developed. This approach, in pure “abstract thinking” is really rarely proposed, infrequently adopted in the philosophical academic corpus. However, it is a real philosophical approach. As all philosophical attempt, this method needs debates, argumentations, interrogations etc. Beyond a text of philosophy, it is a interesting tool, in an ethical approach of some practices, clinical one's (all fields of palliative medicine for example) or biological one's or research one's. This work was built in two parts to facilitate the reading and the readers' appropriation.
