Raymond Ruyer (1902-1987), philosophe situe a l'intersection des sciences et de la metaphysique - comme Bergson mais a distance de lui -, voit son oeuvre entouree par un etrange silence, exception faite de La Gnose de Princeton. Ruyer a developpe une philosophie generale de la biologie (Elements de psycho-biologie, La Genese des formes vivantes) l'etude de l'invention des formes de la vie l'a conduit a une theorie de la causalite biologique, contestant le discours genetique. Parallelement, il a cherche a tirer toutes les consequences theoriques des revolutions de la physique du xxe siecle, notamment de la mecanique quantique, en construisant le finalisme qu'elles appellent. Reflexions inseparables d'une meditation ample, englobant une theorie de la conscience et du cerveau (La Conscience et le Corps), une philosophie de la valeur, une critique de l'utopie (L'Utopie et les Utopies) et l'une des grandes theologies rationnelles du xxe siecle (Dieu des religions, Dieu de la science). Elaborer un panpsychisme consequent, dans l'heritage de Leibniz, tel a ete l'objectif de ce philosophe a la langue toujours claire, qui a parcouru l'ensemble des savoirs de son temps. Forte d'une vingtaine de livres et de plus d'une centaine d'articles, cette oeuvre qui a influence Merleau-Ponty et Deleuze, merite qu'on s'y arrete. Le present ouvrage expose pour la premiere fois la pensee de Ruyer dans son ensemble, depuis les grands traites du milieu de siecle comme Neo-finalisme jusqu'au manuscrit inedit de 1983, L'Embryogenese du monde et le Dieu silencieux, et espere lui restituer son unite et sa signification propres.
