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, forts équivoques. Ce sont les significations du corps au XVII siècle, chez Descartes, Pascal, Spinoza, Malebranche et Leibniz, qu'il s'agit d'éclairer ici.

Download or read book Corpus written by Jean-Luc Nancy and published by Fordham Univ Press. This book was released on 2009-08-25 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How have we thought “the body”? How can we think it anew? The body of mortal creatures, the body politic, the body of letters and of laws, the “mystical body of Christ”—all these (and others) are incorporated in the word Corpus, the title and topic of Jean-Luc Nancy’s masterwork. Corpus is a work of literary force at once phenomenological, sociological, theological, and philosophical in its multiple orientations and approaches. In thirty-six brief sections, Nancy offers us at once an encyclopedia and a polemical program—reviewing classical takes on the “corpus” from Plato, Aristotle, and Saint Paul to Descartes, Hegel, Husserl, and Freud, while demonstrating that the mutations (technological, biological, and political) of our own culture have given rise to the need for a new understanding of the body. He not only tells the story of this cultural change but also explores the promise and responsibilities that such a new understanding entails. The long-awaited English translation is a bold, bravura rendering. To the title essay are added five closely related recent pieces—including a commentary by Antonia Birnbaum—dedicated in large part to the legacy of the “mind-body problem” formulated by Descartes and the challenge it poses to rethinking the ancient problems of the corpus. The last and most poignant of these essays is “The Intruder,” Nancy’s philosophical meditation on his heart transplant. The book also serves as the opening move in Nancy’s larger project called “The deconstruction of Christianity.”

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 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. Cet ouvrage 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 ?

This book was released on 2013-04-18 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For anybody capable of an emotional response to it, any view of a developing organism should give birth to a feeling of amazement and even admiration, whether this development is seen directly, or in the form of a time lapse film, or even if mentally reconstructed from a series of static images. We ask ourselves how such seemingly primitive eggs or pieces of tissue, without any obvious intervention from outside, so regularly transform themselves into precisely constructed adult organisms. If we try to formulate what amazes us most of all about development, the answer will probably be that it is the internal capacity of developing organisms themselves to create new structures. How, then, can we satisfy our amazement in ways that are more or less reasonable, as well as scientifically valuable? This depends, first of all, on what position we choose to regard embryonic development as occupying among other structure creating processes, even including human activities. On the one hand, one might regard the development of organisms as a highly specialized class of processes, unique to themselves and alien to the general laws of nature, or at least not derivable from them and more akin to the deliberate acts of our own human behaviour. In that case our task would become reduced to a search for some specific 'instructions' for each next member of such a class. Whether in an overt or hidden form, some such ideology seems to dominate in present day developmental biology.

This book was released on 2013-03-07 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present volume owes its ongm to a Colloquium on "Alchemy and Chemistry in the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries", held at the Warburg Institute on 26th and 27th July 1989. The Colloquium focused on a number of selected themes during a closely defined chronological interval: on the relation of alchemy and chemistry to medicine, philosophy, religion, and to the corpuscular philosophy, in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The relations between Medicina and alchemy in the Lullian treatises were examined in the opening paper by Michela Pereira, based on researches on unpublished manuscript sources in the period between the 14th and 17th centuries. It is several decades since the researches of R.F. Multhauf gave a prominent role to Johannes de Rupescissa in linking medicine and alchemy through the concept of a quinta essentia. Michela Pereira explores the significance of the Lullian tradition in this development and draws attention to the fact that the early Paracelsians had themselves recognized a family resemblance between the works of Paracelsus and Roger Bacon's scientia experimentalis and, indeed, a continuity with the Lullian tradition.

Download or read book Climate Earth Processes and Earth History written by Richard J. Huggett and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, climate-related processes and problems are referred to as Global Change by nearly everyone including scientists, politicians, and economists; citizens worldwide are anxious about the often ob served disorientation of our environment under the influence of man. Better information on the Earth's natural systems and their possible alterations is necessary. The topic itself is so wide that sound scien tific descriptions of it as a whole are rare. For the non-specialist infor mation from relevant fields is not easy to obtain; and often, the pro gnostic models presented are contradictory and even for specialists difficult to evaluate. Therefore, this book on Climate, Earth Processes and Earth History by Richard Huggett fills an important gap. It discusses the great, climate-related areas of the Earth's environment. The atmosphere, the hydrosphere, the sediments as products of weathering and geomorphic processes, the relief as landforms and soils, and the biosphere are thoroughly treated as the prominent sub systems which are greatly affected by climate. These subsystems not only control the visual and internal aspects of our landscapes, but they are themselves especially influenced by climatic changes which can be due to either changes in the natural system or anthropogenic changes. Thus, our landscapes will be subject to significant altera tions, if climatic variations exceed certain thresholds. The plan for the present book by Richard Huggett was originally discussed in regard to the Springer Series on Physical Environment.
