Aseer: The Novel Of The Unknown Man

“I am not a philosopher, but only a man of science. I have spent the greater part of my life in the laboratory studying living things, and the rest in the vast world observing men, and trying to understand them, yet I do not pretend to treat matters outside the field of scientific observation.”

This is what Alexis Carrell tells us about himself and his book, providing an epistemological reading of man from a scientific, not philosophical, point of view.
