Book excerpt: Michel Foucault examines the archeology of madness in the West from 1500 to 1800 - from the late Middle Ages, when insanity was still considered part of everyday life and fools and lunatics walked the streets freely, to the time when such people began to be considered a threat, asylums were first built, and walls were erected between the "insane" and the rest of humanity.
Download or read book Nouveau ciel nouvelle terre written by Miguel Angel Granada and published by Belles Lettres. This book was released on 2009 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nouveau ciel, Nouvelle terre fait reference au verset apocalyptique figurant sur les panneaux de l'horloge astronomique de Strasbourg, non loin du portrait de Copernic. Les articles ici reunis examinent le developpement historique de la question copernicienne: l'espace de sa reception, de sa diffusion, et les differentes formes de resistances a la theorie heliocentrique, qui n'ont d'ailleurs pas toujours abouti a en interdire la diffusion. D'abord, ce volume etudie l'articulation entre l'elaboration de la problematique copernicienne et les preoccupations eschatologiques constantes chez les theologiens les plus ecoutes comme Philippe Melanchthon (1497-1560) ou Andreas Osiander (1498-1552), mais aussi bien presentes chez des coperniciens de la premiere heure comme Georg Joachim Rheticus (1514-1574). En second lieu, il s'agit de montrer que la revolution astronomique remet progressivement en question la distinction traditionnelle entre un monde sublunaire, materiel, corruptible, et un ciel inalterable, sans histoire ni secret. Avant de s'identifier en une seule substance, ce nouveau ciel et cette nouvelle terre sont saisis comme des realites symetriques: les speculations alchimiques de Tycho Brahe (1546-1601), ou la fortune du paracelsisme, refletent bien la conscience nouvelle de cette symetrie, et d'une solidarite inconnue de tous ceux qui, avec Aristote, tiennent l'astronomie pour une science purement et seulement mathematique. Dans le ciel qu'etudient ces nouveaux astronomes, il y a, comme sur la terre, de la matiere, du mouvement, et des changements reels. Cet ouvrage examine aussi cette decouverte, dans le sillage de Copernic (1473-1543), de la nature physique du ciel; la theorie des cometes ou des nouvelles etoiles engage ainsi l'astronomie dans la voie d'une evolution radicale qui, avec Kepler (1571-1630), la fera acceder au statut de physique celeste . C'est la le terme d'une revolution commencee presque cent ans plus tot. Michel Angel Granada est professeur d'histoire de la philosophie a l'Universite de Barcelone, et specialiste de la Renaissance. Edouard Mehl est maitre de conferences en philosophie a l'Universite de Strasbourg, et specialiste de Descartes.
