En 1768, Voltaire publie un recueil de 38 courts chapitres (precedes d'une introduction) sur divers aspects du monde naturel sous le titre "Les Singularites de la nature". La variete des sujets abordes temoigne de l'etendue de la curiosite de Voltaire et de son interet pour les sciences naturelles naissantes. De la geologie a la biologie, l'auteur reflechit sur les grandes questions qui agitent les esprits, il mene ses propres experiences sur des limaces et des escargots, et il contredit Buffon, de Maillet et d'autres sur la question de l'origine des fossiles et de la formation des montagnes. Dans une etude proposee en introduction au volume, Gerhardt Stenger examine la place de Voltaire dans le contexte des grands debats scientifiques de son temps. Contributors: Patricia Crepin-Obert, Jean Mayer, Gerhardt Stenger.
