Abstract
This is an outline of my experience, from philosophy, to physics and then to mathematics, and my personal view on today’s important philosophical problems. This leads me to some critical thoughts concerning high-school teaching, particularly in France, related to religious or political fanaticism.
Note. The first version of this essay was written in French, a first part in October 2014, in Bures-sur-Yvette, France, and a second part in February 2015, in Vuda Point Fiji.
