Le Jardin d'Épicure

A meditative collection of essays and sketches juxtaposing cosmic perspective with human concerns. It opens with reflections on modern astronomy that displace traditional cosmology, then considers life and the likelihood of life beyond Earth. Subsequent pieces examine religion and Christian morality, especially attitudes toward love and women, mixing ironic critique with personal anecdote and moral reflection. The prose alternates philosophical argument, descriptive imagery, and literary allusion to explore skepticism, the persistence of belief, and the search for mercy and beauty. Overall the work moves between scientific wonder, ethical questioning, and literary irony to probe how humans make sense of existence.
