Thomas S. Kuhn's classic book is now available with a new index. "A landmark in intellectual history which has attracted attention far beyond its own immediate field. . . . It is written with a combination of depth and clarity that make it an almost unbroken series of aphorisms. . . . Kuhn does not permit truth to be a criterion of scientific theories, he would presumably not claim his own theory to be true. But if causing a revolution is the hallmark of a superior paradigm, [this book] has been a resounding success." --Nicholas Wade, 'Science' "Perhaps the best explanation of [the] process of discovery." --William Erwin Thompson, 'New York Times Book Review' "Occasionally there emerges a book which has an influence far beyond its originally intended audience. . . . Thomas Kuhn's 'The Structure of ' 'Scientific Revolutions' . . . has clearly emerged as just such a work." --Ron Johnston, 'Times Higher Education Supplement' "Among the most influential academic books in this century." -- 'Choice' --One of "The Hundred Most Influential Books Since the Second World War," 'Times Literary Supplement' Thomas S. Kuhn was the Laurence Rockefeller Professor Emeritus of linguistics and philosophy at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His books include 'The Essential TensionBlack-Body Theory and the ' 'Quantum Discontinuity, 1894-1912;' and 'The Copernican ' 'Revolution.'

The second edition of The Great Psychotherapy Debate has been updated and revised to expand the presentation of the Contextual Model, which is derived from a scientific understanding of how humans heal in a social context and explains findings from a vast array of psychotherapies studies. This model provides a compelling alternative to traditional research on psychotherapy, which tends to focus on identifying the most effective treatment for particular disorders through emphasizing the specific ingredients of treatment. The new edition also includes a history of healing practices, medicine, and psychotherapy, an examination of therapist effects, and a thorough review of the research on common factors such as the alliance, expectations, and empathy.

Adam Smith's Theory of Moral Sentiments (1759) lays the foundation for a general system of morals, and is a text of central importance in the history of moral and political thought. By means of the idea of sympathy and the mental construct of an impartial spectator, Smith formulated highly original theories of conscience, moral judgment and the virtues. This volume offers a new edition of the text with helpful notes for the student reader, together with a substantial introduction that sets the work in its philosophical and historical context.

Est-ce un abus de langage que d'utiliser le même terme de " libéralisme " pour les idées de Locke et celles du New Deal, pour les thèses de John Rawis et l'expérience économique des théories de Milton Friedman que fit le Chili de Pinochet ? À la question " Qu'est-ce que le libéralisme ? " il n'est qu'une réponse pertinente : mettre en évidence le noyau constitutif d'idées et de valeurs qui donne sa cohérence au libéralisme, à travers la reconstitution de ses débats et de ses crises dans l'histoire. Cette théorie définit ce qu'est la société " bonne " ou " juste " : celle où chacun, tant qu'il ne nuit pas à autrui et n'attente aux intérêts vitaux de personne, est le meilleur juge, dans la liberté de sa conscience, de son bien et de ses intérêts, dont il peut être tenu pour responsable. Des origines à aujourd'hui, Catherine Audard tisse la toile des liens pour le moins contradictoires qu'ont entretenus cette théorie normative et la politique réelle. Où le lecteur découvrira alors les nombreuses limites, économiques, politiques et sociales, que l'éthique libérale a posées pour que chacun puisse être libre, sans oppression ni sujétion d'aucune sorte. Le libéralisme, en cela, n'est pas un système, mais une promesse.
