Dans ces conférences de 1900, l'éminent pédagogue Ferdinand Buisson interroge les liens que peuvent entretenir la science, la religion et la morale, à une époque où les certitudes religieuses commencent à vaciller et où la recherche scientifique connaît un essor fulgurant. Convoquant les grands penseurs des temps modernes, de Spencer à Durkheim, Buisson ouvre de vastes perspectives de réflexion sur l'éducation de la jeunesse et les enjeux de la transmission des savoirs.
