Les Mathematiques comme Metaphore est, au meme titre que La Science et l'Hypothese de Poincare, un temoignage accessible et rigoureux de la beaute mathematique. Sa premiere partie constitue une meditation sur l'experience intime de la pensee algebrique, la vocation d'un chercheur et la fonction sociale de la science. Yuri Manin y livre les clefs de son propre destin en devoilant les mathematiques comme une metaphore de l'existence. Dans sa seconde partie, l'ouvrage aborde l'epineuse et recurrente question des relations entre constructions mathematiques, speculations physiques et algorithmes informatiques. Refusant les positions unilaterales, la reflexion s'installe dans un va-et-vient connectant motifs et figures, evoquant en particulier celle d'Alexandre Grothendieck. Exposant les puissances de l'autre hemisphere du cerveau, la troisieme partie elabore une serie de conjectures sur le Trickster, les mythes, le langage, la poesie, etc. Celles-ci completent les analyses precedentes et s'y reverberent. Traverse par le fantome de la dialectique, Les Mathematiques comme Metaphore offre une magistrale lecon de philosophie mathematique pour non-mathematiciens. Cette edition reunit les textes traduits en anglais, une selection complementaire issue de l'edition russe, des textes posterieurs choisis par l'auteur ainsi qu'une postface inedite de Pierre Lochak.
