Mieux comprendre les animaux en mêlant philosophie bergsonienne et biologie contemporaine, c’est ma niche écologique 🌱
J’y parle de Bergson (évidemment), de babouins, de corbeaux, et de la mode du chapeau-saumon 🐒 🐦⬛ 🐳

Pippo and Albertine playing at their best. They are not baboons but they are still pretty cool subjects to observe on a daily basis.

I am looking back at my teenage me, trying to be one of the cool kids. And now I’ve become this massive Bergsonian geek,fascinated by dinosaurs and evolutionary theory I was meant to become, and I am so proud.
Btw my book is out, and it’s extremely cool. www.puf.com/du-finalisme...

I’ve been working on interspecies play for a while now (crows and wolves, polar bears and dogs, jackals and baboons…). But watching Pippo and Albertine playing is still the most fascinating case study.
