It engenders epics, nourishes populations, it has as much the power to calm as to destroy. The sea is both a container and a content, so much so that it is difficult to perceive it in its extent and in all its complexity. Starting with the close, symbiotic bond that has always united us with her. This is why we need a philosophy of the sea more than ever, believes Roberto Casati, director of research in philosophy at the CNRS, author of this fascinating ocean philosophy. To do this, we must begin by looking around us. One would perhaps see, to begin with, that plastic “is the most visible aspect of human neglect which has now lasted for several centuries”. Sometimes theoretical, sometimes personal, Roberto Casati also talks about navigation, history and oceanography, stirring in his own way this immense salty broth, leading us to dream and to think in one and the same movement. An urgent call to change our relationship with the sea.
