Book excerpt: This book traces the development of the idea that the sciences were morally enlightening through an intellectual history of the secrétaires perpétuels of the French Royal Academy of Sciences and their associates from the mid-seventeenth century to the end of the eighteenth century. Academy secretaries such as Fontenelle and Condorcet were critical to the emergence of a central feature of the narrative of Enlightenment in that they encouraged the notion that the “philosophical spirit” of the Scientific Revolution, already present among the educated classes, should guide the necessary reformation of society and government according to the ideals of scientific reasoning. The Idea of the Sciences also tells an intellectual history of political radicalization, explaining especially how the marquis de Condorcet came to believe that the sciences could play central a role in guiding the outcome of the Revolution of 1789.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A wondrously written book of literary criticism and philosophy that maps the relationship between poetry and natural history, connecting verse from poets such as Shakespeare and Rainer Maria Rilke to the work of scientists and theorists like Francis Bacon and Michael Polanyi. Taking its bearings from the Greek myth of Orpheus, whose singing had the power to move the rocks and trees and to quiet the animals, Elizabeth Sewell’s The Orphic Voice transforms our understanding of the relationship between mind and nature. Myth, Sewell argues, is not mere fable but an ancient and vital form of reflection that unites poetry, philosophy, and natural science: Shakespeare with Francis Bacon and Giambattista Vico; Wordsworth and Rilke with Michael Polanyi. All these members of the Orphic company share a common perception that “discovery, in science and poetry, is a mythological situation in which the mind unites with a figure of its own devising as a means toward understanding the world.” Sewell’s visionary book, first published in 1960, presents brilliantly illuminating readings of A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Rilke’s Sonnets to Orpheus, among other masterpieces, while deepening our understanding not only of poetry and the history of ideas but of the biological reach of the mind.

Book excerpt: Version Intégrale!!!Les Lettres à Lucilius (latin : Epistulae morales ad Lucilium, soit Épîtres morales à Lucilius) sont un ensemble de 124 lettres écrites en latin par Sénèque (Lucius Annaeus Seneca) lors des dernières années de sa vie (63-64) à l'intention de Lucilius le Jeune, alors gouverneur romain de Sicile.Correspondance entre un philosophe accompli et un néophyte intéressé, les Lettres touchent à une foule de sujets - de la vie quotidienne aux préoccupations métaphysiques - et tendent à expliciter et mettre en valeur les enseignements du stoïcisme adopté par Sénèque. En plus de leur attrait principalement philosophique, elles fournissent maintes indications sur le mode de vie des Romains de l'époque (Ier siècle).[selon Wikipedia (CC BY-SA 3.0)]
