Transmission - inheritance - succession (2024)

« Notre héritage n'est précédé d'aucun testament. » (René Char, Feuillets d’Hypnos)

What are we leaving to future generations? Will this legacy be accepted? Is a choice even possible? Innate or acquired, reactionary or dominant, burden or sorrow, fatality or freedom, so many dichotomies for so many situations that all the sciences have to remind us of the entanglement, complication and even dilemma. At the heart of this complexity is the succession, i.e. the relationship that is established between the pôle that transmits and the pôle that hosts. This is where medicine, law and institutions come into play in practice, as well as where political and philosophical positions are taken slowly.
