Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: « Il faut d'abord vivre, et ensuite philosopher » : telle était la devise des Anciens (en latin : « Primum vivere, deinde philosophari »), véritable profession de foi épicurienne. Et le sens commun s'accommode facilement de ce genre de formules. Il tend à penser que l'essentiel, c'est la vie (ce en quoi il n'a pas tort), et que la philosophie est secondaire. Ce que nous voudrions montrer dans cet ouvrage, c'est qu'il ne faut ni séparer la philosophie de la vie, ni affirmer une quelconque primauté de la seconde sur la première : il est essentiel de philosopher pour bien vivre, et la réflexion philosophique doit accompagner notre existence si nous voulons vraiment vivre pleinement. C'est pourquoi nous voulons proposer au lecteur, sinon de consacrer sa vie à la philosophie, du moins de passer une année « philosophique ».Olivier Abiteboul est professeur de philosophie à Nice, docteur en philosophie de l'Université de Provence (Aix-Marseille I), chercheur associé au Centre de recherches " Littérature et poétique comparées " de l'Université de Paris Ouest-Nanterre-La Défense, membre du comité de rédaction de la revue Théâtres du Monde (PU d'Avignon). Il est l'auteur d'une quinzaine d'ouvrages, dont Le paradoxe apprivoisé (Flammarion, 1998) et La rhétorique des philosophes (L'Harmattan, 2002).
Download or read book Paradoxical Freedom written by Olivier Abiteboul and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2022-02-02 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together a group of 14 essays on five problems of freedom and nine philosophers, contributing to the history of philosophy, and offers a concise survey of the question of freedom. It approaches this question in several ways, exploring the problems of freedom, the freedom of philosophers, and the paradoxes of freedom. The topics of these essays were chosen because of a personal, but also universal, interest: the problem of freedom makes the human condition paradoxical. We always find ourselves faced with the same structure of this paradox: a freedom which cannot be freed from its relation to necessity. Freedom is, therefore, not really free. The paradox of freedom is, thus, that of the human condition: human freedom is as paradoxical as the human condition is incomprehensible.

Book excerpt: This volume brings together a group of essays on 27 English or American writers contributing to the history of English and American literature, and offers a concise survey of the question of literary understanding. It approaches this question in a specific and systematic way, adopting the framework of structuralist literary criticism. The book proposes a preliminary to the understanding of literature in general, a sort of âphilosophy of literatureâ, as the problems involved in critical reading of course reflect the powerful characteristics of literary language.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume 17/18 begins with a section containing original Huxley documents: Below the Equator, an unpublished film story collaboration by Isherwood and Huxley, edited by James Sexton and Bernfried Nugel, to be followed by two pieces rediscovered and edited by James Sexton, viz. The Heroes, William R. Cox's screenplay adaptation of a lost Huxley story, and the translation of a 1960 interview held in French by the Canadian writer Hubert Aquin. Then Huxley nephew Piero Ferrucci kindly opens his family archives of original Huxley letters and photographs and contributes a remarkable essay on his coming of age with Aldous Huxley. Rounding off this section, Peter Wood introduces an unknown 1934 letter Huxley wrote to Ren'e Schickele, a forgotten German author in the writers' community at Sanary. The second section presents a further selection of papers from the Sixth International Aldous Huxley Symposium held at Almer'a in April 2017 as well as other critical articles.

Book excerpt: Foreword The modern developments in mathematical biology took place roughly between 1920 and 1940, a period now referred to as the "Golden Age of Theoretical Biology". The eminent Italian mathematician Vito Volterra played a decisive and widely acknowledged role in these developments. Volterra's interest in the application of mathematics to the non physical sciences, and to biology and economics in particular, dates back to the turn of the century and was expressed in his inaugural address at the University of Rome for the academic year 1900/01 (VOLTERRA 1901). Nevertheless, it was only in the mid-twenties that Volterra entered the field in person, at the instigation of his son in law, Umberto D'Ancona, who had confronted him with the problem of competition among animal species, asking him whether a mathematical treatment was possible. From that time on, until his death in 1940, Volterra produced a huge output of publications on the subject. Volterra's specific project was to transfer the model and the concepts of classical mechanics to biology, constructing a sort of "rational mechanics" and an "analytic mechanics" of biological associations. The new subject was thus to be equipped with a solid experimental or at least empirical basis, also in this case following the tried and tested example of mathematical physics. Although very few specific features of this reductionist programme have actually survived, Volterra's contribution was decisive, as is now universally acknowledged, in en couraging fresh studies in the field of mathematical biology.

Download or read book Modernity and Postmodernity in a Franco Irish Context written by Eamon Maher and published by Peter Lang Gmbh, Internationaler Verlag Der Wissenschaften. This book was released on 2008 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: French writers and intellectuals were to the forefront when it came to theorizing the concepts of modernity and postmodernity, and thus such a theme was considered appropriate for this, the second volume in the Studies in Franco-Irish Relations series. The postmodern Irish socio-cultural paradigm is interrogated through the lens of French thought. What is equally interesting is that Irish contexts can also help shed light on the French situation as the processes of secularisation and multicultural diversity, part of the French experience since the 1950s, begin to take root in a society that has become one of the most globalised in the Western world. The interchange and dialogue between the two cultures throws up a panoply of insights that have the capacity to be enriching for both societies.
