la vie politique des dernières années. Pour ce faire, ils transportent sur l'agora d'Athènes des discours que le lecteur avisé saura attribuer sans difficulté à nos rhéteurs contemporains. On retrouve ainsi un Socrate malicieux, mais toujours soucieux du bien public en pleine conversation avec Ministrempos, Alargentos, Xenophobite ou Ploutocratos à propos de la grève étudiante, des gaz de schistes, de la laïcité ou de la collusion dans les travaux publics. Qu'en dis-tu Socrate? est le livre de deux amoureux de la politique et de la philosophie dont l'humour jubilatoire ne les empêche pas de poser certaines des questions les plus importantes de l'heure.

Delving into the experiments, the researchers, as well as connections to notables like Aldous Huxley, Linus Pauling, and Alcoholics Anonymous Co-Founder Bill W, Barber examines popularly held myths surrounding the drugs, and shows how the Saskatchewan research made extensive contributions to this scientific field and led to radical innovations in mental health, many of which have applications and relevance today. 2018.By Steve Paikin. 2006
