Les structures cognitives des sociétés humaines[29/12/23]
* Read in English .   Les grandes théories sociales formulées au cours des derniers siècles ont le plus souvent oscillé entre une forme de biologisme, qui tend à déduire tous les phénomènes sociaux à partir des dispositions physiques ou génétiques des êtres humains, et une approche anthropologique, qui refuse cette réduction et qui se réfère plutôt à l’esprit humain, mettant en avant ses capacités d’éducation et de transmission....
