Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'extraordinaire philosophie du corps développée par Maine de Biran dans les premières années du XIXe siècle est tributaire d'un travail phénoménologique préalable : si le corps est subjectif, sa nature dépend de celle de la subjectivité. Tant que cette dernière reste prise dans les postulats de la pensée classique, qui seront encore ceux de la phénoménologie contemporaine, tant que la « conscience » se résout dans la représentation, dans l’intentionnalité ou dans la Transcendance de l’Être, alors le corps lui-même est traversé par cette déhiscence où se défait son pouvoir : celui d’agir, d’être une force.À partir d’une conception entièrement neuve — non grecque — de la phénoménalité du corps, Maine de Biran a produit des descriptions admirables de sa constitution comme de sa représentation dans le corps objectif — descriptions qui renvoient toutes cependant à un Corps originel, non constitué, qui s’identifie en nous à l’essence de la vie. Unique héritier du cogito perdu de Descartes, Maine de Biran n’est pas un précurseur de la phénoménologie historique : il proposait un autre programme dont il nous est donné aujourd’hui d’apercevoir enfin la pertinence et la fécondité.— Michel Henry —

Centre d'études en rhétorique, philosophie et histoire des idées de l'humanisme aux lumières and published by Editions L'Harmattan. This book was released on 2004 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: De l'animal à l'homme-machine, le corps, à l'âge classique, se plie aux lois d'un mécanisme généralisé. Mais au-delà de cette évidence, le corps se prête à de multiples usages et significations, fort équivoques, d'après Descartes : corps matériels divisibles dont l'existence problématique demande à être démontrée ou corps humain indivisible, uni à une âme, qui peut agir sans elle ou sur elle dans les passions, et être l'objet de son amour. Corps comme figure ou comme principe de la connaissance de la réalité physique pour Pascal. Corps, qui peut se signifier comme humain sans le secours de l'esprit chez Spinoza, et exprimer aussi bien les diverses formes de la folie, à travers ses représentations symboliques chez Malebranche, que l'harmonie préétablie et l'isomorphisme entre mouvements et sentiments chez Leibniz. Ce sont toutes ces significations du corps au XVIIe siècle qu'il s'agit ici d'éclairer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les philosophes ont souvent préféré méditer sur l’âme et ses passions, faire des enquêtes sur l’entendement humain, ou encore critiquer la raison pure, plutôt que de se pencher sur la réalité du corps et sur la finitude de la condition humaine. Pourtant, même si le corps a souvent été considéré comme un fardeau entravant la connaissance et la vertu, aucune philosophie n’a jamais pu faire l’économie de sa présence. C’est dans et avec son corps que chacun de nous naît, vit, meurt ; c’est dans et par son corps qu’on s’inscrit dans le monde et qu’on rencontre autrui. Michela Marzano analyse les paradoxes de notre rapport au corps et la manière dont chaque époque invite à le repenser.

Download or read book Les Philosophes et le corps written by Bruno Huisman and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mépriser son corps ou du moins ne pas en tenir compte; préférer toujours la noblesse de l'âme et de la pensée à la bassesse du corps et de la chair; faire comme si le corps n'existait pas : tel fut longtemps le credo que l'opinion attribua aux philosophes dans la pensée du corps. L'opinion ne se trompe jamais tout à fait : la relation du philosophe au corps est essentiellement ambiguë. Même quand il admire la perfection de la machine corporelle, il déplore sa finitude et le caractère servile de son existence. Mais la philosophie est plurielle : il y a aussi des philosophes, et non des moindres pour affirmer la prééminence du corps, pour faire 'apologie de sa dimension sensuelle et pour situer dans sa corporéité la grandeur de l'homme. A travers les antagonismes, la question de l'union de l'âme et du corps nous revient sans cesse : comment un corps peut-il penser ? Comment y a-t-il de la pensée dans du corps ?

Download or read book Hierarchy in Natural and Social Sciences written by Denise Pumain and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-02-09 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hierarchy is a form of organisation of complex systems that rely on or produce a strong differentiation in capacity (power and size) between the parts of the system. It is frequently observed within the natural living world as well as in social institutions. According to the authors, hierarchy results from random processes, follows an intentional design, or is the result of the organisation which ensures an optimal circulation of energy for information. This book reviews ancient and modern representations and explanations of hierarchies, and compares their relevance in a variety of fields, such as language, societies, cities, and living species. It throws light on concepts and models such as scaling laws, fractals and self-organisation that are fundamental in the dynamics and morphology of complex systems. At a time when networks are celebrated for their efficiency, flexibility and better social acceptance, much can be learned about the persistent universality and adaptability of hierarchies, and from the analogies and differences between biological and social organisation and processes. This book addresses a wide audience of biologists and social scientists, as well as managers and executives in a variety of institutions.

Download or read book A History of Disability written by Henri-Jacques Stiker and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2019-12-09 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first book to attempt to provide a framework for analyzing disability through the ages, Henri-Jacques Stiker's now classic A History of Disability traces the history of western cultural responses to disability, from ancient times to the present. The sweep of the volume is broad; from a rereading and reinterpretation of the Oedipus myth to legislation regarding disability, Stiker proposes an analytical history that demonstrates how societies reveal themselves through their attitudes towards disability in unexpected ways. Through this history, Stiker examines a fundamental issue in contemporary Western discourse on disability: the cultural assumption that equality/sameness/similarity is always desired by those in society. He highlights the consequences of such a mindset, illustrating the intolerance of diversity and individualism that arises from placing such importance on equality. Working against this thinking, Stiker argues that difference is not only acceptable, but that it is desirable, and necessary. This new edition of the classic volume features a new foreword by David T. Mitchell and Sharon L. Snyder that assesses the impact of Stiker’s history on Disability Studies and beyond, twenty years after the book’s translation into English. The book will be of interest to scholars of disability, historians, social scientists, cultural anthropologists, and those who are intrigued by the role that culture plays in the development of language and thought surrounding people with disabilities.

Download or read book Cultural Techniques written by Bernhard Siegert and published by Fordham Univ Press. This book was released on 2015-05-01 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a crucial shift within posthumanistic media studies, Bernhard Siegert dissolves the concept of media into a network of operations that reproduce, displace, process, and reflect the distinctions fundamental for a given culture. Cultural Techniques aims to forget our traditional understanding of media so as to redefine the concept through something more fundamental than the empiricist study of a medium’s individual or collective uses or of its cultural semantics or aesthetics. Rather, Siegert seeks to relocate media and culture on a level where the distinctions between object and performance, matter and form, human and nonhuman, sign and channel, the symbolic and the real are still in the process of becoming. The result is to turn ontology into a domain of all that is meant in German by the word Kultur. Cultural techniques comprise not only self-referential symbolic practices like reading, writing, counting, or image-making. The analysis of artifacts as cultural techniques emphasizes their ontological status as “in-betweens,” shifting from firstorder to second-order techniques, from the technical to the artistic, from object to sign, from the natural to the cultural, from the operational to the representational. Cultural Techniques ranges from seafaring, drafting, and eating to the production of the sign-signaldistinction in old and new media, to the reproduction of anthropological difference, to the study of trompe-l’oeils, grids, registers, and doors. Throughout, Siegert addresses fundamental questions of how ontological distinctions can be replaced by chains of operations that process those alleged ontological distinctions within the ontic. Grounding posthumanist theory both historically and technically, this book opens up a crucial dialogue between new German media theory and American postcybernetic discourses.

Download or read book Expanding the Lexicon written by Sabine Arndt-Lappe and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2018-01-22 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The creation of new lexical units and patterns has been studied in different research frameworks, focusing on either system-internal or system-external aspects, from which no comprehensive view has emerged. The volume aims to fill this gap by studying dynamic processes in the lexicon – understood in a wide sense as not being necessarily limited to the word level – by bringing together approaches directed to morphological productivity as well as approaches analyzing general types of lexical innovation and the role of discourse-related factors. The papers deal with ongoing changes as well as with historical processes of change in different languages and reflect on patterns and specific subtypes of lexical innovation as well as on their external conditions and the speakers’ motivations for innovating. Moreover, the diffusion and conventionalization of innovations will be addressed. In this way, the volume contributes to understanding the complex interplay of structural, cognitive and functional factors in the lexicon as a highly dynamic domain.

Download or read book I am Not a Brain written by Markus Gabriel and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2017-09-18 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many consider the nature of human consciousness to be one of the last great unsolved mysteries. Why should the light turn on, so to speak, in human beings at all? And how is the electrical storm of neurons under our skull connected with our consciousness? Is the self only our brain's user interface, a kind of stage on which a show is performed that we cannot freely direct? In this book, philosopher Markus Gabriel challenges an increasing trend in the sciences towards neurocentrism, a notion which rests on the assumption that the self is identical to the brain. Gabriel raises serious doubts as to whether we can know ourselves in this way. In a sharp critique of this approach, he presents a new defense of the free will and provides a timely introduction to philosophical thought about the self – all with verve, humor, and surprising insights. Gabriel criticizes the scientific image of the world and takes us on an eclectic journey of self-reflection by way of such concepts as self, consciousness, and freedom, with the aid of Kant, Schopenhauer, and Nagel but also Dr. Who, The Walking Dead, and Fargo.

Download or read book PROMOTION DE LA SANTE ET AUTONOMISATION DANS LE CONTEXTE AFRICAIN written by David HouŽto and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014-02-26 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le terme promotion de la santé en Afrique, près de 30 ans après l'adoption de la Charte d'Ottawa, continue d'avoir des connotations complètement hors du sens que lui confère cette charte. Cela n'est pas étonnant quand on sait que la notion de santé dans ce contexte africain équivaut à la lutte contre la maladie à travers les soins de santé dispensés par des professionnels de la santé dans des formations sanitaires et les hôpitaux. L'évolution que connait le continent depuis quelques décennies est de donner un peu plus de place à la communauté à travers les relais communautaires dans une participation communautaire vidée de son contenu, car le pouvoir n'est jamais passé entre les mains des communautés.C'est au vu de tout ceci que le présent ouvrage à sa raison d'être pour expliquer les fondements de l'autonomisation communautaire et de la promotion de la santé avec leur importance pour la région africaine en proie aux mauvais indicateurs de santé comparativement aux autres régions du monde.
