"The Hebrew Bible is a philosophical testament. Abraham, the first biblical philosopher, calls out to the world in God's name exactly as Plato calls out in the name of the Forms. Abraham comes forward as a critic of pagan thought about, specifically, persons. Moses, to whom the baton is passed, spells out the practical implications of the Bible's core anthropological teachings. In Persons and Other Things Mark Glouberman explores the Bible's philosophy, roughing out in the course of a defence of it how men and women who see themselves in the biblical portrayal (as he argues that most of us do once the "religious" glare is reduced) are committed to conduct their personal affairs, arrange their social ties, and act in the natural world. Persons and Other Things is also the author's testament about the practice of philosophy. Glouberman sets out, and in the chapters that pursue the theme he puts into practice, the lessons he has acquired as a lifelong learner about thinking philosophically, about writing philosophy, and about philosophers. Persons and Other Things looks closely at the Bible as a philosophical work, asking insightful questions about how to interpret the Hebrew Bible, what it means to be Jewish, and how to live a meaningful and moral life."--

A son corps défendant, l'humain se découvre animal. Mais comment se dire humain ? Jadis, la question se posait avec une urgence et une acuité terribles parce que l'on se sentait toujours trop proche de cet animal que l'on devait tuer pour pouvoir s'en nourrir, et la réponse était celle qu'apportait le rituel du sacrifice sous l'horizon du divin. Avec le temps, cette organisation rituelle va considérablement évoluer, notamment à l'occasion de la diffusion des pratiques de l'écriture, entraînant une redéfinition radicale de l'humain. Aujourd'hui, cette redéfinition a pris une ampleur telle que l'expérience vécue de l'animalité a pratiquement disparu dans nos sociétés. Mais l'inquiétude demeure : l'homme se sait différent, mais il ne sait plus de quoi il diffère au juste. L'Humanité tragique explore la part que prend l'écriture dans cette redéfinition radicale de l'humain, en décrivant l'émergence conjointe de la démocratie athénienne et du théâtre tragique. En effet, c'est à travers des pratiques singulières d'écriture que la cité a forgé des moyens révolutionnaires pour évacuer l'autre en soi et affirmer l'humain en montrant l'inhumain : ainsi naît le théâtre tragique. Dans cette perspective, Frank Pierobon propose, dans la dernière partie de l'ouvrage, une discussion des principaux concepts de la Poétique d'Aristote.

This is an important, critical analysis of Derrida's theory of writing, based upon close readings of key texts ranging from his stringent critique of structuralist criticism to his sympathetic and dialogical analysis of Freud's scriptural models. It reveals a dimension of Derrida's thinking which, although consistently present in his works, has been neglected in favour of those 'deconstructionist' clichés used in much recent literary criticism. Christopher Johnson highlights the special character of Derrida's philosophy that comes from the fertilising contact that Derrida has had with contemporary natural science and with systems theory. In addition, he shows how Derrida's philosophy of system and writing rejoins an atomist and materialist tradition repressed by centuries of idealist metaphysics. This study casts fresh light on an exacting set of intellectual issues facing philosophy and critical theory today.

Automne 1968 : Foucault, à l'invitation du critique Claude Bonnefoy, rencontre celui-ci à plusieurs reprises en vue d'un projet de livre. Ce n'est ni à un entretien, ni à un dialogue auquel les deux hommes se livrent, mais à un exercice de parole inédit ; Foucault pour la seule fois de sa vie donne à voir ce qu'il désigne comme "l'envers de la tapisserie", son propre rapport à l'écriture.
