Extrait : "La « conscience morale », à nos yeux, n'est pas une sorte de faculté séparée, distincte des autres ; elle est réductible à la conscience de la vie et de l'être. Celle-ci, en pénétrant jusqu'au fond de soi, y trouve un acte essentiel, auquel on a donné le nom de « Raison » et dont on a fait une « faculté » séparée."

It would be unfair to blame a philosophy whose development was brutally interrupted for not being conclusive. But while this openness incited many readers toward other fertile horizons, the oeuvre is hardly ever studied for itself. In this book, Emmanuel Alloa offers a handrail for venturing into the complexities of the work of the French philosopher Maurice Merleau-Ponty (1908–1961). Through a comprehensive analysis of the three main phases of...

Why do humans get angry with objects? Why is it that a malfunctioning computer, a broken tool, or a fallen glass causes an outbreak of fury? How is it possible to speak of an inanimate object's recalcitrance, obstinacy, or even malice? When things assume a will of their own and seem to act out against human desires and wishes rather than disappear into automatic, unconscious functionality, the breakdown is experienced not as something neutral but...

Sabemos poco de la vida de Apuleyo. Nacido en Madauros, en el norte de África, hacia el año 125 d. C., desconocemos su nombre completo y dónde murió. Sí que podemos deducir que tuvo una vida acomodada gracias a su padre y a un matrimonio ventajoso, que le permitió viajar y tener una buena formación retórica y filosófica. Pero, sobre todo, de lo que no hay duda es de que se trata del mayor fabulador latino del siglo II gracias a su única...

La dernière décennie de Michel Foucault a coïncidé avec l'agonie des espoirs de transformation sociale qui avaient marqué l'après-guerre. Face à cette « fin de la révolution », le philosophe a tenté de réinventer la manière don’t nous pensons la politique et la résistance, ce que sa génération n'avait, jugeait-il, pas réussi à faire.
C'est dans cette perspective qu'il s'est intéressé au néolibéralisme en tant qu'outil permettant...
