To Bernard Stiegler
An essential voice of contemporary thought has passed away. I had the immense honor and good fortune to cross paths with Bernard Stiegler in recent years. This book was discussed at our last dinner together shortly before his death. How can I not remember this charming moment. Bernard Stiegler could be tough and passionate when it came to intellectual debate. He could not stand mediocrity of thought. But in the more intimate space, he had a gentleness, a deep and warm strength, a radiant richness resulting from an extraordinary career. We had shared this intense meal with a common friend: Paul Jorion. At the end, I drove him back to his hotel. As he opened the door, he turned to me and said: “Read or reread, dear Pierre, the two sources of morality and religion by Bergson. Concentrate on the last chapter, which talks about mysticism and mechanics. As soon as it's done, we'll organize a lunch in Paris.” I found it in my library and read it in a week. The lunch will never happen or maybe it will...
