Hour Two
Sunday 28 February  2016  / Hour 2, Block A:  Brave Genius: A Scientist, a Philosopher, and Their Daring Adventures from the French Resistance to the Nobel..., by Sean B. Carroll (1 of 4)   “. . . But in Brave Genius, Sean B. Carroll tells the interlocking stories of a philosopher and a scientist, Albert Camus and Jacques Monod, who were not just passionate friends but sometimes seemed to be living two versions of the same life. Both were active in the French Resistance during World War II, and after the war both devoted themselves to fighting the intellectual corrosions of Communist ideology. Both men won the Nobel Prize, Camus for literature and Monod for physiology, in recognition of fundamental discoveries about the regulation of gene expression. And the similarities run even deeper. Both Camus and Monod, Dr. Carroll writes, were concerned with the same fundamental problem: how to act morally, even heroically, in a random, indifferent universe. . . .”
