"L'île des Cyclopes" (The Island of the Cyclopes) is a French-language book by Pierre Thuillier, a French scientist and philosopher known for his work in the history and philosophy of science. The book, whose full title is "L'île des Cyclopes: Réflexions sur la science et la technologie modernes" (The Island of the Cyclopes: Reflections on Modern Science and Technology), was published in 1991. In this work, Thuillier explores the relationship between science, technology, and society, delving into the complexities and ethical considerations of scientific progress.

The title of the book alludes to the mythical Cyclopes, giants with a single eye in the middle of their forehead, known from Greek mythology. This metaphor is used by Thuillier to discuss the vision of science—how it can be both powerful and limited, much like the Cyclopes' singular but focused gaze. The book is a critical examination of the role of science in the modern world, questioning the one-eyed vision that can arise from an overly narrow focus on scientific and technological advancement without considering broader social implications.

In "L'île des Cyclopes," Thuillier addresses themes such as the responsibility of scientists, the unpredictability of technological applications, and the societal impacts of scientific discoveries. He also reflects on the nature of scientific inquiry, the myth of neutral science, and the challenges of interdisciplinary research. The book contributes to the ongoing discourse on the philosophy of science and is aimed at both the scientific community and the informed public interested in the ethical and societal dimensions of scientific endeavors.

As an author, Pierre Thuillier (1932-1995) was known for his ability to engage with complex scientific ideas and present them to a general audience. His work often bridged the gap between scientific disciplines and the humanities, and "L'île des Cyclopes" is representative of his approach to the critical analysis of science and technology. The book is part of Thuillier's broader body of work, which includes several other titles that similarly scrutinize the role of science in society and its philosophical underpinnings.
