Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Au IVe siècle av. J-C., Euclide jetait les bases de ce qui allait être la géométrie et notre vision de l'espace pur les deux mille cinq cents ans à venir. La mécanique newtonienne s'est emparée de ce modèle et a construit sur ces fondations la conception classique du mouvement, non sans succès (cf. l'impressionnante réussite de la loi de la gravitation universelle de Newton). Pourtant le triomphe de la physique classique n'allait pas durer : la découverte des phénomènes électromagnétiques et les premières explorations du monde microscopique donnèrent un coup fatal aux postulats de la mécanique classique. Très vite, les développements de la relativité et de la physique quantique apportèrent des modifications profondes de notre compréhension de l'espace et du temps, de la géométrie et du devenir de l'Univers. L'espace euclidien et absolu a cédé la place à un espace-temps relatif, courbe, quantifié et extensible comme une baudruche que les forges du Big Bang auraient gonflée en quelques fragments de nanosecondes. Finalement, après un siècle de nouvelle physique, que reste-t-il des notions d'espace et de temps que nous a léguées la physique classique ? Quel sens donné à l'univers et à l'idée qu'il ait pu avoir un commencement ? Ce livre tente d'expliquer, sans équations, en quoi les théories physiques du XXe siècle (la relativité restreinte et générale, la mécanique quantique, la théorie du Big Bang, la théorie quantique des champs, etc.) ont affecté notre conception de l'espace et du temps. Les grandes idées qui ont bouleversé la physique ce dernier siècle sont présentées en mettant en avant les enjeux physiques et parfois philosophiques qui ont guidé leurs concepteurs. Tout au long de l'ouvrage, le même esprit est respecté : souci de vulgarisation sans céder toutefois à la facilité. Les concepts fondamentaux sont introduits et expliqués à l'aide d'analogies accessibles par tout un chacun.

This book was released on 1990 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume seeks to offer a new way of reading A la Recherche du Temps Perdu, using a fluid manner of interpretation which suggests process rather than product. This study contends that everything in Proust's work is threefold. The middle term is the common ground shared by the two terms of comparison that constitute a metaphor.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quelles nouvelles représentations de l’espace et du temps nous a légué ce dernier siècle de physique dominé par la physique quantique et la cosmologie ? Ce livre tente d’expliquer en quoi les théories physiques du XXème siècle (la relativité restreinte et générale, la mécanique quantique, la théorie du Big Bang, le modèle standard, etc.) ont affecté notre conception de l’espace et du temps. Cette seconde édition a été enrichie par un chapitre consacré à la flèche du temps. De plus, elle a été mise à jour en prenant en compte les tous derniers développements dans le domaine de la cosmologie et de la physique théorique comme la mise en évidence des ondes gravitationnelles, la recherche de la nature de la matière noire, la théorie des supercordes, la gravité quantique à boucles, l’entropie des trous noirs, le rayonnement de Hawking, etc.
Download or read book Science and Structure in Proust s A la Recherche Du Temps Perdu written by Nicola Luckhurst and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Proust's A la recherche du temps perdu is a hybrid, a novel-essay, a capacious work of fiction containing a commonplace-book. It might, as Roland Barthes has suggested, be thought of as the product of profound and cherished indecision, Proust's indecision between two styles of writing, themoralistic and the fictive/novelistic/romanesque. Structure and Science is an exploration of this indecision.The shorter Proust, Proust the moraliste, is a prolific writer of maxims, from the laws of the passions to the aesthetic manifesto of the Temps retrouve to the [?rapacious] teeming/fertile/spawning/exuberant/luxuriant reflection(s) on sexuality, politics, society. Yet these maxims, whose grammarlays claim to timelessness, are bound up in narrative, the story of their evolution. And disintegration. Proust's moralizing exposes our affective relationship with law statements, with authority, and it is this question that engages A la recherche in an epistemological debate which crosses theboundaries between the two cultures, art and science. What might be called the epistemological alertness of Proust's text is explored at this interface between 'modernist' science and literature.
Download or read book Nancy Now written by Verena Conley and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2014-10-10 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jean-Luc Nancy stands as one of the great French theorists of "deconstruction." His writings on philosophy, politics, aesthetics, and religion have significantly contributed to the development of contemporary French thought and helped shape and transform the field of continental philosophy. Through Nancy's immense oeuvre, which covers a wide range of topics such as community, freedom, existence, sense/ touch, democracy, Christianity, the visual arts and music, and writing itself, we have learned to take stock of the world in a more nuanced fashion. In this collection, contemporaries of Nancy and eminent scholars of continental philosophy, including Giorgio Agamben, Étienne Balibar, Ginette Michaud, Georges Van Den Abbeele, Gregg Lambert and Ian James, have been invited to reflect on the force of Nancy's "deconstruction" and how it has affected, or will affect, the ways we approach many of the most pertinent topics in contemporary philosophy. The collection also includes Jean-Luc Nancy's previously unpublished 'Dialogue Beneath the Ribs', where he reflects, twenty years after, on his heart transplant. Nancy Now will be of critical interest not only to scholars working on or with Nancy's philosophy, but also to those interested in the development and future of French thought.

Book excerpt: "In this innovative study, Nathalie Aubert demonstrates how the experience of translating Ruskin led Proust to see creative writing as itself an act of translation. She makes use of phenomenology to show how the Proustian metaphor operates as translation as it bridges the gap between reality and language."

Download or read book Proustian Passions written by Ingrid Wassenaar and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2000 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A la recherche du temps perdu occupies an undisputed place in the unfolding intellectual history of the 'moi' in France. There is, however, a general tendency in writing on this novel to celebrate the wonders of the moi sensible uncritically. This effaces all that is morally dubious or franklyexperimental about Proust's account of selfhood. It denies the rigour with which Proust tries to understand exactly why it is so difficult to explain one's own actions to another. The great party scenes, for example, or the countless digressions, read like manuals on how acts of self-justificationtake place.Proust, however, is not merely interested in some kind of taxonomy of excuses, hypocrisy, disingenuousness, and Schadenfreude. He wants to know why self-justification tends to be interpreted as indicative of moral or psychological weakness. He asks himself whether self-justification informsisolated moments of everyday existence or whether it endures in an overall conception of self that lasts an individual's lifetime. He investigates whether it dictates the functioning of an entire social group. Can we decide, he asks, whether justifying one's self should be written off as morallyrepugnant, or taken seriously as evidence of moral probity?
Download or read book Proust the One and the Many written by Erika Fulop and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-12-02 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "One of the many aspects that make Marcel Prousts A la recherche du temps perdu such a complex and subtle work is its engagement with metaphysical questions. The disparate nature of the narrators experiences, hypotheses, and statements has generated a number of conflicting interpretations, based on parallels with the thought of one or another philosopher from Plato to Leibniz, Spinoza, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Bergson, or Deleuze. Through the analysis of the narrators two seemingly incompatible perceptions of the world, which reveal reality to be either one or infinitely multiple, Erika Fuelop proposes a reading of the novel that reconciles the opposites. Rather than being undecided or self-contradictory, the narrative thematizes the insufficiency of the dualist perspective and invites the reader to take a step beyond it. Erika Fuelop is an independent researcher, whose doctoral thesis completed at the University of Aberdeen is at the basis of this monograph."
