Aux frontières du réel 🔮En écho à l’exposition « Aux frontières du réel », le cycle « Penser critique » vous invite à questionner la place de l’invisible et des croyances dans notre société. Entre phénomènes dits « paranormaux », miracles, théories étranges ou thérapies ésotériques, comment démêler le vrai du faux ?

Mardi 5 mai 2026 à 18h30 à la bibliothèque Part-Dieu, avec le Dr Richard Monvoisin, didacticien des sciences et spécialiste de l’analyse critique de ces sujets, plongez dans l’étude des rêves prémonitoires, des guérisons miraculeuses, de la cryptozoologie, ou encore de l’effet placebo.
Son objectif ? Affûter notre esprit critique pour faire des choix éclairés, sans jugement mais avec curiosité.

Et vous, à quelles croyances adhérez-vous ? Ou au contraire, lesquelles vous laissent sceptique ?
