Pensées, d'ici à l'absurde présente deux dimensions de notre vie : la trivialité absurde qui surgit lorsque les évènements s'entremêlent de manière étrange et que l'incohérence domine, ainsi que notre propension naturelle à philosopher. C'est un ensemble de réflexions qui induisent un profond questionnement sur des sujets existentiels.

This collection of personal correspondence provides a rare window into the private life of the toweringnineteenth-century philosopher.
Friedrich Nietzsche was the most iconoclastic philosopher of modern history. He is known to the world as the scathingly brilliant provocateur behind such foundational works as Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Beyond Good and Evil, and Twilight of the Idols. This was Nietzsche as he addressed himself to the public. But in this...

Traditionnellement, les philosophes ne s'accordent ni sur la nature de leurs problèmes, ni sur le genre de solutions qui leur convient, ni sur le type de preuve qui caractérise leur argumentation. Le plus clair résultat de la « révolution » analytique, comme on a appelé la réaction anglaise à quelque cinquante années d'hégélianisme, aurait été de réduire un peu et pour un temps l'ampleur du désaccord.

Extrait: "C'est un métier que de faire un livre, comme de faire une pendule: il faut plus que de l'esprit pour être auteur. Un magistrat allait par son mérite à la première dignité, il était homme délié et pratique dans les affaires: il a fait imprimer un ouvrage moral, qui est rare par le ridicule. Il n'est pas si aisé de se faire un nom par un ouvrage parfait, que d'en faire valoir un médiocre par le nom qu'on s'est déjà acquis."

Countless academic books have been written about how to interpret literary texts. From reader response criticism to Marxist hermeneutics and beyond, the scholarship on interpretive methods is vast. Yet all these books fail to address a more fundamental question: Why should we read in the first place? Or, to put it another way, why is reading an important thing to do? In order to answer these questions, Thomas J. Millay turns to the wisdom of Danish...

"In The Laws, Plato describes in detail a comprehensive system of legislation in a small agricultural utopia he named Magnesia. His laws not only govern crime and punishment, but also form a code of conduct for all aspects of life in his ideal state - from education, sport and religion to sexual behaviour, marriage and drinking parties. Plato sets out a plan for the day-to-day rule of Magnesia, administered by citizens and elected officials, with...

Alain définissait la théologie « une philosophie sans recul ». Il voulait dire qu'elle manque d'indépendance critique, qu'elle est liée à un système de croyances, à un dogme, qu'elle accepte une orthodoxie, une autorité, une censure: vérité d'appareil, non vérité rationnelle.

Selon Hannah Arendt, la différence clé entre les outils et les machines est illustrée dans le débat interminable sur la question de savoir si les machines doivent s'adapter à l'homme. Cette discussion est stérile, car l'homme, en tant qu'être conditionné, s'adapte aux machines dès qu'il les invente, en faisant de tout ce qui est donné ou fabriqué une condition de sa vie future.

It is a curious and relatively little-known fact that for two decades-from the end of World War II until the late 1960s-existentialism's most fertile ground outside of Europe was in the Middle East, and Jean-Paul Sartre was the Arab intelligentsia's uncontested champion. In the Arab world, neither before nor since has another Western intellectual been so widely translated, debated, and celebrated.
By closely following the remarkable career...
