Robustness: Building a Less Fragile World

By Nicolas Pujol

How to reconcile knowing and doing, philosophy and science, ideas with reality? Whether it is consciously or deep inside, you know what needs to be done. With modernity, humans created more data which on one hand makes science advance faster, and at the same time polarizes camps in soft sciences or uncertain domains. There is always a part of the internet which agrees with us, which means that out there you will information and disinformation, both appearing trustworthy. Which one to trust, one, the other, none? Robustness stems from classical philosophy, the works from Hippocrates, Paracelsus, Nietzsche, in their search for truth, which was strong enough to carry itself from twenty years ago to the twenty first century. But philosophy can, and needs to step up, with the help of science, of new facts which were not available to our ancestors. In this book, Pujol combines wisdom from the past, scientific research, and lifestyles from centenarians, such as Robert Marchand, the oldest athlete on the planet today. A book for the next generation of philosophers, for life enthusiasts, for those interested in sharing the pleasures of nutrition, sports, and presence in nature, in the fullness of time.
