Cuando El azar y la necesidad se public\u00f3 en Francia, en 1970, hac\u00eda exactamente cinco a\u00f1os que su autor, Jacques Monod, hab\u00eda recibido el Premio Nobel de Fisiolog\u00eda o Medicina. Pero su \u00e9xito mundial se debi\u00f3 al esc\u00e1ndalo que suscit\u00f3 no s\u00f3lo entre cient\u00edficos, sino tambi\u00e9n entre fil\u00f3sofos, pensadores y \u2014fen\u00f3meno a\u00fan m\u00e1s insospechado\u2014 pol\u00edticos. Quiz\u00e1 la clave resida en las propias palabras de Monod:\u00abResulta hoy d\u00eda imprudente, por parte de un hombre, el empleo de la palabra filosof\u00eda. (\u2026) Tengo una sola excusa que considero, sin embargo, leg\u00edtima: el deber que la actualidad impone a los hombres de ciencia de pensar su disciplina en el conjunto de la cultura moderna para enriquecerla as\u00ed, no s\u00f3lo con importantes conocimientos t\u00e9cnicos, sino tambi\u00e9n con ideas arraigadas en su ciencia particular que puedan considerarse humanamente significativas. La misma ingenuidad de una mirada virgen (y la de la ciencia lo es siempre) pueden alumbrar con una luz nueva viejos problemas\u2026(\u2026) Asumo por entero la plena responsabilidad de los desarrollos de orden \u00e9tico, y hasta tal vez pol\u00edtico, que no he querido evitar por peligrosos que fuesen, o ingenuos, o demasiado ambiciosos que pudiesen parecer: la modestia conviene al sabio, pero no a las ideas que lo habitan y que debe defender\u00bb.Este ensayo se elabor\u00f3 a partir de una serie de conferencias pronunciadas por Monod, en febrero de 1969, en el Pomona College, California, y que fueron tambi\u00e9n motivo de un curso en el Coll\u00e8ge de France entre 1969 y 1970.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
