Book excerpt: "La philosophie n'est pas un dîner de gala. Ni un guide des bienséances. Ni une panacée antidéprime. La philosophie est un champ de bataille, un face-à-face avec nos défis intimes et ultimes : le souci de la vérité et du mensonge, l'épreuve de la mortalité, le feu de l'amour, le pari de survivre. Sur le ring, deux poids lourds de la pensée. Socrate, inventeur d'une sagesse occidentale et déracinante, avale la ciguë fatale en concoctant un suprême pied de nez aux convenances éternelles. Heidegger, et philosophe, et nazi, et paradoxalement adulé par toutes les universités du monde, meurt dans son lit. Deux manières d'exister et de méditer, deux engagements inconciliables. Le temps ne rentre pas dans ses gonds, les escargots font le dos rond, Dieu s'affiche aux abonnés absents, le diable se perd dans ses déguisements, et pourtant elle tourne, notre planète"--P. [4] of cover.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Depuis 2007, " Les Nouveaux Chemins de la connaissance ", devenus " Les Chemins de la philosophie ", tentent de prouver quotidiennement que la philosophie est affaire de rencontres. Rencontre avec un interlocuteur, d'abord, au gré d'une discussion dont le seul but est de donner envie de penser, en invitant à questionner ce qui est déjà connu et à découvrir ce qui ne l'est pas encore. Rencontre entre les différents langages, ensuite, puisque la littérature, la musique et le cinéma, bien loin d'être des illustrations de concepts, sont autant de manières d'exprimer des problèmes que la philosophie formule à sa façon. Si ces rencontres peuvent surprendre, c'est parce qu'elles visent à rappeler que la réflexion, même exigeante et rigoureuse, est aussi affaire de goût et de sensibilité. C'est en ce sens que les questions les plus redoutables en philosophie ne se formulent qu'en s'incarnant dans un discours, une vision du monde, un certain caractère. Fidèle à cette démarche, cette compilation propose de donner à lire ce qui n'a pas encore été dit à l'antenne. Chaque publication a été suivie d'une série d'émissions sur le même thème pour prolonger une discussion dont le ton spontané a été volontairement maintenu au sein de ces textes, de manière à susciter une rencontre ultime avec vous. Dirigés par Adèle Van Reeth, sont réunis dans cet ouvrage : La Jouissance avec Jean-Luc Nancy, La Méchanceté avec Michaël Foessel, L'Obstination avec Myriam Revault d'Allonnes, Le Snobisme avec Raphaël Enthoven et La Pudeur avec Eric Fiat. Une réflexion à prolonger en écoutant sur France Culture " Les Chemins de la philosophie " d'Adèle Van Reeth.
Download or read book Heidegger and the Jews written by Donatella Di Cesare and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2018-08-23 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Philosophers have long struggled to reconcile Martin Heidegger's involvement in Nazism with his status as one of the greatest thinkers of the twentieth century. The recent publication of his Black Notebooks has reignited fierce debate on the subject. These thousand-odd pages of jotted observations profoundly challenge our image of the quiet philosopher's exile in the Black Forest, revealing the shocking extent of his anti-Semitism for the first time. For much of the philosophical community, the Black Notebooks have been either used to discredit Heidegger or seen as a bibliographical detail irrelevant to his thought. Yet, in this new book, renowned philosopher Donatella Di Cesare argues that Heidegger's "metaphysical anti-Semitism" was a central part of his philosophical project. Within the context of the Nuremberg race laws, Heidegger felt compelled to define Jewishness and its relationship to his concept of Being. Di Cesare shows that Heidegger saw the Jews as the agents of a modernity that had disfigured the spirit of the West. In a deeply disturbing extrapolation, he presented the Holocaust as both a means for the purification of Being and the Jews' own "self-destruction": a process of death on an industrialized scale that was the logical conclusion of the acceleration in technology they themselves had brought about. Situating Heidegger's anti-Semitism firmly within the context of his thought, this groundbreaking work will be essential reading for students and scholars of philosophy and history as well as the many readers interested in Heidegger's life, work, and legacy.
Download or read book By Being It Is written by Nestor Luis Cordero and published by Parmenides Publishing. This book was released on 2004-05-10 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In By Being, It Is, Nestor-Luis Cordero explores the richness of this Parmenidean thesis, which became the cornerstone of philosophy. Cordero''s textual analysis of the poem''s fragments reveals that Parmenides'' intention was highly didactic. His poem applied, for the first time, an explicative method that deduced consequences from a true axiom: by being, it is. To ignore this reality meant to be a victim of opinions. This volume explains how without this conceptual base, all later ontology would have been impossible. This book offers a clear and concise introduction to the Parmenidean doctrine and helps the reader appreciate the imperative value of Parmenides''s claim that "e;by being, it is."e;

Download or read book Les Chemins du philosophe written by Pierre Trotignon and published by Fayard. This book was released on 2014-04-01 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La philosophie n'est pas une science et le philosophe ne peut aujourd'hui que rompre avec toutes les tentatives de systématisation conceptuelle absolue. Son but est de marcher vers l'infinitude de la pensée, dans le dessein d'une recherche toujours plus précise de son existence dans l'instant. La philosophie est un chemin subjectif qui, à travers savoir et expérience de la vie, mène à la rencontre des bornes de notre condition. Car le chemin a ses bornes: elles marquent la limitation de notre pouvoir, dans la connaissance ou dans l'action, mais elles indiquent en même temps la transcendance. Un itinéraire est ici proposé, qui nous conduit par une suite de courtes méditations sur le chemin de la métaphysique. Il montre que le langage poétique peut être créateur d'un monde qui permet de découvrir les illusions de notre univers quotidien et d'en révéler les richesses latentes. Pierre Trotignon est agrégé de philosophie et professeur à l'université de Lille III. Il a déjà publié chez Fayard Le coeur et la raison (1985).
Download or read book TO THINK LIKE GOD written by Arnold Hermann and published by Parmenides Publishing. This book was released on 2004-12-15 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the scholarly & fully annotated edition of the award-winning The Illustrated To Think Like God. To Think Like God focuses on the emergence of philosophy as a speculative science, tracing its origins to the Greek colonies of Southern Italy, from the late 6th century to mid-5th century B.C. Special attention is paid to the sage Pythagoras and his movement, the poet Xenophanes of Colophon, and the lawmaker Parmenides of Elea. In their own ways, each thinker held that true insight, whether as wisdom or certainty, belonged not to mortal human beings but to the gods.The Pythagoreans sought to approach this otherwordly knowledge by studying numerical relationships, believing them to govern the universe, and that those who know the number of a thing know its true nature. Yet their quest was a hopeless one, bogged down by cultism, numerology, political conspiracies, bloody uprisings, and exile. Above all, number did not turn out as the most reliable of mediums; it was certainly not a key to the realm of the divine. Thus, their contributions to philosophy's inception, while much better-publicized, was not the most significant. That particular role was reserved for an unusual challenge and the elaborate reaction it provoked.

Download or read book The Greeks and Us written by Marcel Detienne and published by Polity. This book was released on 2007-09-17 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The human race is all too pre-disposed to think in terms of us and them. Europeans have always laid claim to the Ancient Greeks they are our Greeks, our ancestors but their legacy reaches further than we could ever imagine. Their influence stretches from the Japanese to the Cossacks, from Ancient Rome to Indonesia. In this path-breaking new volume, the great French historian Marcel Detienne focuses on Eurocentric approaches which have trumpeted the Greeks and their democratic practices as our ancestors and the superiority of the Western tradition to which they gave rise. He argues that such approaches can be seen as narrow-minded and often covertly nationalistic. Detienne advocates what he calls comparative anthropology which sets out to illuminate the comparisons and contrasts between the beliefs, practices and institutions of different ancient and modern societies. Detienne aims to put the Greeks in perspective among other civilisations and also to look afresh at questions of political structure, literacy, nationhood, intellect and mythology. The work of Marcel Detienne has made an enormous impact on our thinking about the Greeks in areas such as rationality, literacy and mythology, and in this new volume he challenges once again our conception of the Greeks and their impact on the modern world.

Download or read book Politics of the One written by Artemy Magun and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2012-11-08 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume in the Political Theory and Contemporary Philosophy series examines one of the most important topics in contemporary political theory: how to conceptualize the relationship between the one and the many. The essays discuss how to reconcile multiple ontologies without subsuming them to a totalitarian unity. While one school of thought (Deleuze, Negri) seeks to create a new ontology based on the many instead of the one, (which, politically, is close to anarchy), another proposes to understand the "one" as the "ultra-one" of the event (Badiou). In this groundbreaking work, leading thinkers explore these debates and offer alternative concepts. Building on Jean-Luc Nancy's essay who proposes an ontology of "singular plurality," contributors aim to synthesize the one and the many and suggest different ways of forming collectives, beyond the dominant representative political forms. An original and challenging work, Politics of the One addresses new possible ways of bringing people together, integrating philosophy with theoretical and practical problems of politics.
Download or read book Parmenides and Presocratic Philosophy written by John Palmer and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2009-10-29 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Palmer develops and defends a modal interpretation of Parmenides, according to which he was the first philosopher to distinguish in a rigorous manner the fundamental modalities of necessary being, necessary non-being or impossibility, and non-necessary or contingent being. This book accordingly reconsiders his place in the historical development of Presocratic philosophy in light of this new interpretation. Careful treatment of Parmenides' specification of the ways of inquiry that define his metaphysical and epistemological outlook paves the way for detailed analyses of his arguments demonstrating the temporal and spatial attributes of what is and cannot not be. Since the existence of this necessary being does not preclude the existence of other entities that are but need not be, Parmenides' cosmology can straightforwardly be taken as his account of the origin and operation of the world's mutable entities. Later chapters reassess the major Presocratics' relation to Parmenides in light of the modal interpretation, focusing particularly on Zeno, Melissus, Anaxagoras, and Empedocles. In the end, Parmenides' distinction among the principal modes of being, and his arguments regarding what what must be must be like, simply in virtue of its mode of being, entitle him to be seen as the founder of metaphysics or ontology as a domain of inquiry distinct from natural philosophy and theology. An appendix presents a Greek text of the fragments of Parmenides' poem with English translation and textual notes.
