Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first booklength account of how Maurice Merleau-Ponty used certain texts by Alfred North Whitehead to develop an ontology based on nature, and how he could have used other Whitehead texts that he did not know in order to complete his last ontology. This account is enriched by several of Merleau-Ponty's unpublished writings not previously available in English, by the first detailed treatment of certain works by F.W.J. Schelling in the course of showing how they exerted a substantial influence on both Merleau-Ponty and Whitehead, and by the first extensive discussion of Merleau-Ponty's interest in the Stoics's notion of the twofold logos—the logos endiathetos and the logos proforikos. This book provides a thorough exploration of the consonance between these two philosophers in their mutual desire to overcome various bifurcations of nature, and of nature from spirit, that continued to haunt philosophy and science since the 17th-century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What can Montesquieu still teach us today? Montesquieu was the first political writer who first formulated the principles of separation of powers and the independence of justice. He was the first to scientifically study human institutions, both ancient and modern, Asiatic and European, African and American. Again, he was the first thinker to theorize Federal Democracy, systematically tracking down the root causes of human events in its environmental, cultural, historical, and geographical aspects. Analysing several aspects of Montesquieu’s philosophical and political thought, this volume highlights his stoicism, realism, anti-despotism as well as his staunch defence of human dignity. Introducing one of the sharpest thinkers of modernity, this book offers fundamental tools to understand the very ground of our contemporary times.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La connaissance du monde s'exprime en propositions, que celles-ci soient considerees, selon les theories, comme objets ou comme moyens de la science. Le probleme de la relation entre ces entites linguistiques et les representations mental (intellections, intentions, concepts...) a une longue histoire qui remonte au traite De l'interpretation d'Aristote et aux commentaires de Boece. Apres Guillaume d'Ockham, en effet, l'idee de langage mental est certes une hypothese qui a acquis force et consistance, mais tous les problemes lies a la structuration de la pensee et au rapport entre le langage parle et la pensee ne sont pas resolus. Des questions surgissent sur la structuration meme de ce langage.Le colloque organise a Tours du 1er au 3 decembre 2005 sous les auspices de la Fondation europeenne de la science (European Science Foundation) avait l'ambition de parcourir ces questions en repartant d'Augustin qui est l'initiale medievale du probleme, et en suivant cette histoire jusqu'a l'aube des Temps modernes. Ce parcours historique donc fait une part importante au Moyen Age tardif, a la Renaissance et au XVIIe siecle. En meme temps, notre ambition etait aussi d'approfondir certains enjeux proprement philosophiques de ce parcours. L'horizon general est la question : est-il possible de considerer le domaine de la pensee comme etant structure a la maniere d'un langage, et par quels moyens conceptuels penser cela ? Comment cette idee peut-elle cesser d'etre metaphorique pour devenir un veritable instrument conceptuel d'investigation des procedures de pensee ? Comment les theories du Moyen Age tardif, de la Renaissance, des debuts des Temps modernes, peuvent elles etre mises en relation avec l'idee contemporaine du langage de la pensee ? Dans le meme temps l'emergence de l'idee medievale de langage mental remet en cause ou transforme certains usages de l'intention et de l'etre intentionnel tels qu'ils s'etaient imposes au tournant des XIIIe et XIVe siecles. Les problemes concernant le rapport entre intentions premieres et intentions secondes, intentions concretes et intentions abstraites, disparaissent ou sont considerablement transformes. Comment relier ces transfomations a l'idee contemporaine (ou aux idees contemporaines) d'intentionnalite ? Si l'idee medievale d'intention recouvre parfois le contenu mental, elle peut aussi designer un aspect de la chose, vise par la pensee. Si l'intentionnalite caracterise les entites mentales comme pensees de quelque chose, quel est le rapport entre cette intentionnalite et la semanticite du langage ? Enfin, les developpements sur le langage mental et ses remises en cause ulterieures nous conduisent a nous interroger sur les usages classiques de la notion de representation , une idee qui est elle aussi sinon equivoque du moins polysemique. La notion gagne en importance tant sur un plan metaphysique general (notamment avec Duns Scot) que dans certaines theories logiques et semantiques du XIVe siecle. Mais est-ce dans le meme sens qu'on la retrouvera au XVIIe siecle ?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life on earth is currently approaching what has been called the sixth mass extinction, also known as the Holocene or anthropocene extinction. Unlike the previous five, this extinction is due to the destructive practices of a single species, our own. Up to 50% of plant and animal species face extinction by the year 2100, as well as 90% of the world’s languages. Biocultural diversity is a recent appellation for thinking together the earth’s biological, cultural and linguistic diversity, the related causes of their extinctions and the related steps that need to be taken to ensure their sustainability. This book turns to the work of Jacques Derrida to propose a notion of ‘general ecology’ as a way to respond to this loss, to think the ethics, ontology and epistemology at stake in biocultural sustainability and the life and death we differentially share on earth with its others. It articulates an appreciation of the ecological and biocultural stakes of deconstruction and provokes new ways of thinking about a more just sharing of the earth.

Book excerpt: Columbia Companion to Twentieth-Century Philosophies is the first guide to cover both the Anglo-American analytic and European Continental traditions. The first section features Nicholas Rescher writing on neoidealism, Josephine Donovan commenting on feminist philosophy, Tyler Burge discussing the philosophy of language and mind, and Robert Hanna reflecting on Kant's legacy. The second section presents Jean Grondin on hermeneutics, Leonard Lawlor on phenomenology, Charles Scott on postmodernism, and Babette Babich on the philosophy of science. The volume also covers logical positivism, naturalism, pragmatism, aesthetics, existentialism, Marxism, the Frankfurt School, structuralism, psychoanalysis, political philosophy, ethics, and the philosophy of religion. The final section addresses concurrent trends in Indian, Chinese, Japanese, and African philosophy, and a comprehensive introduction by Constantin V. Boundas not only provides a thorough outline of the problems and issues of the analytic and Continental traditions but also boldly challenges the conviction that the two approaches must be rivals. Offering an unusually panoramic perspective, the Columbia Companion to Twentieth-Century Philosophies enables readers to encounter foundational materials on their own terms.

This book was released on 2017-09-27 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Roaring Twenties and the Group of Seven to the Automatistes and the early Cold War, Canadian artists lived through and embodied an era of global tumult and change. With an interweaving of historical narrative, lavish illustrations, and writings by many of Canada's most revered cultural figures, Lora Senechal Carney illuminates the lives, perspectives, and works of the era's painters and provides glimpses of the sculptors, poets, dancers, critics, and filmmakers with whom they associated. Canadian Painters in a Modern World gives readers direct access to a carefully curated selection of writings, artworks, photos, and other documents that help to reconstruct the public spheres in which artists including Paul-Émile Borduas, Emily Carr, Alex Colville, Lawren Harris, David Milne, and Pegi Nicol MacLeod circulated. Each of the book’s eight chapters consists of a narrative about a key issue or debate, focusing on the relationship of art to politics and society, and on how these are negotiated in an individual's life. Relating artistic engagement with and responses to the Spanish Civil War, the Second World War, and the Cold War, Senechal Carney discovers a common desire for new connections between art and life. Revealing continuities, ruptures, and watershed moments, Canadian Painters in a Modern World showcases artistic production within specific socio-political contexts to shed new light on Canadian art during three decades of conflict and crisis.

Book excerpt: Bos and Read present here two medieval treatises on concepts. These treatises were first unearthed by one of the editors in the course of a different project, namely the search for the origins of the notion of 'suppositio collectiva'. They appear to have attracted no attention since the middle of the fifteenth century. These are two of only three medieval treatises known to the editors explicitly devoted to discussion of concepts. That is not to deny that other works treat extensively of concepts among other matters. In the late fourteenth and fifteenth centuries it became increasingly common to devote single treatises to single matters-supposition, consequences, exponibles, obligations and so on. A more famous treatise on concepts is Peter of Ailly's Concepts, given a modern translation by Paul Spade. Peter's treatise was written in Paris in the early 1370s, and printed there and in Lyon several times in the 1490s. Thomas of Cleves' treatise was also written in Paris in the early 1370's, and that of Paul of Gelria some ten years later, if not in Paris then in Prague. Neither has been printed before. To preface the edition of the two texts, the editors provide an introduction discussing the origin of medieval conceptions of concepts and commenting in detail on the content of the two treatises. They also provide some biographical information on the authors and attempt to date and place their texts.
