Dans l’Antiquité, la perception a joué un rôle majeur comme soubassement de la réflexion philosophique parce qu’elle était, avant le développement des sciences physiques et naturelles, le principal mode de connaissance du monde. Au contraire, après la découverte de la mécanique, l’époque classique a trouvé une source de savoir déductif et constructif indépendant de tout exercice préalable de la perception : le rationalisme cartésien peut étudier le fonctionnement supposé des organes des sens sans préoccupation logique ou normative (...) ; le rôle de la perception dans la problématique réflexive devient alors mineur, même au sein de l’empirisme ou du criticisme. Enfin, le positivisme et les progrès de la biologie redonnent aux problèmes perceptifs une importance primordiale, parce qu’ils découvrent dans la perception, humaine aussi bien qu’animale, une activité fonctionnelle, vivant rapport entre l’organisme et le milieu ; (...) la perception redevient ainsi, à l’époque moderne et contemporaine, un principe d’intelligibilité, non plus comme source de paradigmes logiques et critère de la connaissance vraie, mais comme point de départ d’une théorie des rapports entre l’organisme et le milieu.

<P>The surveillance of immigrants and potential terrorists preoccupies leaders throughout the industrialized world. Yet these concerns are hardly new. <I>Policing Paris</I> examines a critical moment in the history of immigration control and political surveillance. Drawing on massive police archives and other materials, Clifford Rosenberg shows how in the years after the Great War the French police, terrified by the Bolshevik Revolution and the specter of immigrant criminality, became the first major force anywhere systematically to enforce distinctions of citizenship and national origins. </P><P>As the French capital emerged as a haven for refugees, dissidents, and workers from throughout Europe and across the Mediterranean in the 1920s, police officers raided immigrant neighborhoods to scare illegal aliens into registering with authorities and arrested those whose papers were not in order. The police began to concentrate on colonial workers from North Africa, tracking these workers with a special police brigade and segregating them in their own hospital when they fell ill. Transformed by their enforcement, legal categories that had existed for hundreds of years began to matter as never before. They determined whether or not families could remain together and whether people could keep their jobs or were forced to flee. </P><P>During World War II, identity controls marked out entire populations for physical destruction. The treatment of foreigners during the Third Republic, Rosenberg contends, shaped the subsequent treatment of Jews by Vichy. At the same time, however, he argues that the new methods of identification pioneered between the wars are more directly relevant to the present day. They created forms of inclusion and inequality that remain pervasive, as industrial welfare states around the world find themselves compelled to provide benefits to their own citizens and recruit foreign nationals to satisfy their labor needs.</P>

This is a wide-ranging collection of essays on ancient Roman literary careers and their reception in later European literature, with contributions by leading experts. Starting from the three major Roman models for constructing a literary career - Virgil (the rota Vergiliana), Horace, and Ovid - the volume then looks at alternative and counter-models in antiquity: Propertius, Juvenal, Cicero and Pliny. A range of post-antique responses to the ancient patterns are then examined, from Dante to Wordsworth, and including Petrarch, Shakespeare, Milton, Marvell, Dryden, and Goethe. These chapters pose the question of the continuing relevance of ancient career models as ideas of authorship change over the centuries, leading to varying engagements and disengagements with classical literary careers. There are also chapters on other ways of concluding or extending a literary career: bookburning and figurative metempsychosis.

"In this classic work of economic history and social theory, Karl Polonyi analyzes the economic and social changes brought about by the "great transformation" of the Industrial Revolution. His analysis explains not only the deficiencies of the self-regulating market, but the potentially dire social consequences of untempered market capitalism. New introductory material reveals the renewed importance of Polanyi's seminal analysis in an era of globalization and free trade."--BOOK JACKET.

The Hours recasts the classic story of Woolf's Mrs Dalloway in a startling new light. Moving effortlessly across the decades & between England & America, this exquisite novel intertwines the worlds of 3 unforgettable women.In The Hours, Michael Cunningham, widely praised as one of the most gifted writers of his generation, draws inventively on the life & work of Virginia Woolf to tell the story of a group of contemporary characters struggling with the conflicting claims of love & inheritance, hope & despair. The narrative of Woolf's last days before her suicide early in World War II counterpoints the fictional stories of Samuel, a famous poet whose life has been shadowed by his talented & troubled mother, & his lifelong friend Clarissa, who strives to forge a balanced & rewarding life in spite of the demands of friends, lovers, & family. Passionate, profound, & deeply moving, this is Cunningham's most remarkable achievement to date.“[Cunningham] has deftly created something original, a trio of richly interwoven tales that alternate with one another chapter by chapter, each of them entering the thoughts of a character as she moves through the small details of a day . . . Cunningham's emulation of such a revered writer as Woolf is courageous, & this is his most mature & masterful work.” — Jameson Currier, The Washington Post Book World°°°Michael Cunningham is the author of the novels A Home at the End of the World, Flesh & Blood, Specimen Days, By Nightfall, & The Snow Queen, as well as the collection A Wild Swan & Other Tales, & the nonfiction book Land’s End: A Walk in Provincetown. He is the recipient of a Whiting Award & a Guggenheim Fellowship, & The Hours was the winner of both the PEN/Faulkner Award & the Pulitzer Prize.

A pantheon of forgotten gods. An old grudge between a talk show host, an heiress, and the man they shattered along the way. A rapidly deteriorating AI system. An inconvenient tiara upon the head of a friend. As management reels from the unexpected conclusion of the seventh level, the surviving crawlers stumble onto the eighth and find themselves scattered. It’s a map based on Earth’s final days before the collapse, where ethereal, intangible ghosts of humanity go about their lives, oblivious of the impending doom. Living amongst these ghosts are monsters based in Earth lore. “Legendary” creatures tied to the geographical location they inhabit. Each team of crawlers is given a find and capture six of these beasts. The captured monsters will be turned into cards. Cards that can be summoned into battle again and again. The stronger, the deadlier, the better. At the end of the floor, the bad guys will also have decks, and they will have some of the most powerful cards available. So it’s crucial to assemble the toughest squad possible. But, like aways, there is a catch. There’s always a catch. As Carl and Donut know all too well, just because someone is captured, it doesn’t mean they have been tamed. Her name is Shi Maria . She’s easily the most powerful monster in their area. If they want to survive, they must capture her. But she is no ordinary beast. She’s intelligent. She was once married to a god, a god who is now missing. Her special attack is known to drive one insane. They call her the Bedlam Bride. “Beware, beware. Beware the Eye of the Bedlam Bride”..M.F

There are redwoods in California that were ancient by the time Columbus first landed, and pines still alive that germinated around the time humans invented writing. There are Douglas firs as tall as skyscrapers, and a banyan tree in Calcutta as big as a football field.From the tallest to the smallest, trees inspire wonder in all of us, and in The Tree, Colin Tudge travels around the world--throughout the United States, the Costa Rican rain forest, Panama and Brazil, India, New Zealand, China, and most of Europe--bringing to life stories and facts about the trees around us: how they grow old, how they eat and reproduce, how they talk to one another (and they do), and why they came to exist in the first place. He considers the pitfalls of being tall; the things that trees produce, from nuts and rubber to wood; and even the complicated debt that we as humans owe them.Tudge takes us to the Amazon in flood, when the water is deep enough to submerge the forest entirely and fish feed on fruit while river dolphins race through the canopy. He explains the "memory" of a tree: how those that have been shaken by wind grow thicker and sturdier, while those attacked by pests grow smaller leaves the following year; and reveals how it is that the same trees found in the United States are also native to China (but not Europe).From tiny saplings to centuries-old redwoods and desert palms, from the backyards of the American heartland to the rain forests of the Amazon and the bamboo forests, Colin Tudge takes the reader on a journey through history and illuminates our ever-present but often ignored companions. A blend of history, science, philosophy, and environmentalism, The Tree is an engaging and elegant look at the life of the tree and what modern research tells us about their future.From the Hardcover edition.

Her path to escaping her shameful past certainly doesn’t include a gorgeous hockey player who believes in love at first sight. One night of sizzling heat and surprising tenderness is all she’s willing to give John Tucker, but sometimes, one night is all it takes for your entire life to change.But the game just got a whole lot more complicatedTucker believes being a team player is as important as being the star. On the ice, he’s fine staying out of the spotlight, but when it comes to becoming a daddy at the age of twenty-two, he refuses to be a bench warmer. It doesn’t hurt that the soon-to-be mother of his child is beautiful, whip-smart, and keeps him on his toes. The problem is, Sabrina’s heart is locked up tight, and the fiery brunette is too stubborn to accept his help. If he wants a life with the woman of his dreams, he’ll have to convince her that some goals can only be made with an assist.

This provocative collection of rites, spells, amulets, curses, and recipes of the early Coptic Christians documents Christianity as a living folk religion resembling other popular belief systems - something quite different from what theo-logical and doctrinal traditions have led us to believe.Like The Nag Hammadi Library, this extraordinary collection of little known incantatory texts radically alters our perception of Christianity as primarily a highly theological and orthodox tradition. These texts and illustrations show that the folk practices of the earliest Christians are quite similar to the day-to-day beliefs and rituals of spirituality that imbue indigenous primal religions and popular religion generally. Placing these previously unknown ancient texts in historical context and explaining their significance, Marvin Meyer and Richard Smith also reveal the place of healing, prayer, miracles, and magic in the Christian teaching practice.Illustrated with line drawings and photographs from the original ancient documents and containing a plethora of rituals, curses, and spells, Ancient Christian Magic is the practical and liturgical companion to the narrative and theological texts of The Nag Hammadi Library.

Twenty years after her sharp, seminal first book Sex and the City reshaped the landscape of pop culture and dating with its fly-on-the-wall look at the mating rituals of the Manhattan elite, the trailblazing Candace Bushnell delivers a new book on the highs and lows of sex and dating after fifty.Set between the Upper East Side of Manhattan and a country enclave known as The Village, Is There Still Sex in the City? gathers Bushnell's signature short, sharp, satirical commentaries on the love and dating habits of middle-aged men and women as they continue to navigate the ever-modernizing world of relationships. Throughout, Bushnell documents twenty-first century dating phenomena, such as the "Unintended Cub Situation" in which a sensible older woman suddenly becomes the love interest of a much younger man, the "Mona Lisa" Treatment — a vaginal restorative surgery often recommended to middle-aged women — and what it's really like...

Nelson Mandela--is it possible to say who or what he is? Yes, he was one of the world's longest-detained political prisoners. He is a universal symbol of social justice certainly; an exemplary figure connoting non-racialism and democracy; a moral giant. For years a man cut off from the world, Mandela became after his 1990 release an internationally recognizable icon. But why should his story be important to us in the world at large today? What do his achievements signify not only nationally in South Africa but also internationally? This book is about the different, interconnected stories, histories, values and symbols that Nelson Mandela embodies. Across his life Mandela has filled a rich range of roles: handsome city-slicker, dashing guerrilla, the millennial saviour figure. By examining these different roles as well as the principles which lie behind and motivate them, this Very Short Introduction presents an analytical portrait of a shape-shifting life. Set within a biographical frame, the book offers a more deeply personal analysis of Mandela than biographies centred on the towering public figure have been able provide. About the Series: Combining authority with wit, accessibility, and style, Very Short Introductions offer an introduction to some of life's most interesting topics. Written by experts for the newcomer, they demonstrate the finest contemporary thinking about the central problems and issues in hundreds of key topics, from philosophy to Freud, quantum theory to Islam.

Sankt Petersburg 1866, Fürst Myschkin kehrt von einem langen Sanatoriumsaufenthalt aus der Schweiz in die russische Hauptstadt zurück. Schon im Zug lernt er Rogoschin kennen, der von seiner Leidenschaft zu Nastassja Filippowna erzählt, einer »gefallenen Frau«. Rogoschin zieht ihn in ein Geflecht auf ihn einstürzender Figuren. Fürst Myschkin gelingt es weder, sich von ihnen zu befreien, noch vermag er Rogoschin von einem Mord zurückzuhalten. Am Ende ist Myschkin zerrütteter als zuvor, ein »Idiot« und heiliger Narr, der dem 19. Jahrhundert und uns, seinen Erben, einen schwarzen Spiegel vorhält. »Die gesamte Bewegung des Buches gleicht einem ungeheuren Kratereinsturz«, schrieb Walter Benjamin über diese zweite der großen Romantragödien Dostojewskijs. Ihr Held Fürst Myschkin wandelt als »wahrhaft guter Mensch« über eine dünne Kruste, unter der die Themen der Zeit vibrieren: Soll sich Rußland auf sich selbst besinnen oder nach Europa orientieren? Gegen die westliche Industrialisierung, die Eisenbahnen und den sogenannten Nihilismus werden östliche Mystik und Religiosität aufgeboten. Als tragischer Don Quijote ist Myschkin eine der modernsten und einflußreichsten Gestalten Dostojewskijs, der unerbittlich Gerichtstag hält. ϡ쯦랠

In The First Two Decades Of The Twenty-first Century, The Events Of 9/11, 7/7, The War On Terror And The Caliphate And Atrocities Of The So-called Islamic State Have Dominated Western Consciousness And Wreaked Havoc In Parts Of The Muslim-majority World. In Their Wake, A Spate Of Books Has Been Written Explaining The Phenomenon Of Islamist Radicalisation And Jihadism. Nevertheless, For Normal Citizens, As Well As Scholars Of Religion And Legal Professionals, The Crucial Question Remains Unanswered: How Is Mainstream Islam Different From Both Islamism And The Islamist Extremism That Is Used To Justify Terrorist Violence? In This Highly Original Book, Which Draws Upon The Author's Experience As An Expert Witness In Islamic Theology In 27 Counter-terrorism Trials, The Author Uses The Idea Of The Worldview, As Well As Traditional Islamic Theology, To Answer This Question. The Book Explains Not Only What Mainstream Islam, Ideological Islamism And Islamist Extremism Are In Their Broad Philosophical Characteristics And Theological Particulars, But Also Explains Comprehensively How And Why They Are Both Superficially Related And Yet Essentially And Fundamentally Different. In So Doing, The Book Also Illuminates The Cast Of Characters And The Development Of Their Ideas That Constitute Mainstream Islam, Ideological Islamism And The Non-violent And Violent Islamist Extremists Who Constitute The Genealogy Of Terror.

Why do people submit to authority and derive pleasure even others have over them? What is the appeal of domination and submission, and why are they so prevalent in erotic life? Why is it so difficult for men and women to meet as equals? Why, indeed, do hey continue to recapitulate the positions of master and slave? In The Bonds of Love , noted feminist theorist and psychoanalyst Jessica Benjamin explains why we accept and perpetuate relationships of domination and submission. She reveals that domination is a complex psychological process which ensnares both parties in bonds of complicity, and shows how it underlies our family life, our social institutions, and especially our sexual relations, in spite of our conscious commitment to equality and freedom.
