While Aristotle's account of the happy life continues to receive attention, many of his claims about virtue of character seem so puzzling that modern philosophers have often discarded them, or have reworked them to fit more familiar theories that do not make virtue of character central. In this book, Paula Gottlieb takes a fresh look at Aristotle's claims, particularly the much-maligned doctrine of the mean. She shows how they form a thought-provoking ethic of virtue, one that deserves to be developed and refined. The first part of the book addresses the nature of virtue and the virtues, illuminated by the doctrine of the mean. Building on the conclusions of this analysis, the second part explains the mentality of the good person and the type of society that will allow such a person to flourish.

Ce livre dévoile la spectaculaire transformation des meetings politiques depuis les dernières années du Second Empire jusqu’à la fin de la Troisième République. Conçus initialement par leurs promoteurs républicains comme un lieu d’apprentissage de la citoyenneté et de formation du jugement politique à travers le débat contradictoire et rationnel, les meetings se muent peu à peu, à l’initiative des diverses formations politiques qui émergent alors, en une scène dédiée à la démonstration de force. Ce dévoiement se repère dès le tournant du XXe siècle, mais s’observe bien plus encore dans le fonctionnement des grands meetings partisans de l’entre-deux-guerres. Face à cette transformation, le pouvoir n’hésite pas, dans la seconde moitié des années 1930, à revenir sur les dispositions libérales qui fondaient le droit de réunion depuis 1881. Le travail de Paula Cossart, à la croisée de l’histoire et de la science politique, est une contribution importante à notre connaissance de la vie politique sous la Troisième République. Forme essentielle de participation politique collective, les meetings de cette période n’avaient pourtant jamais fait l’objet d’une recherche de grande ampleur. L’auteure s’inscrit aussi dans la réflexion, plus actuelle que jamais, sur le statut du débat public au sein des régimes représentatifs. La démocratie participative a une histoire, que ce livre contribue à retracer.

Throughout Indian history, many authors and performers have produced, and many patrons have supported, diverse tellings of the story of the exiled prince Rama, who rescues his abducted wife by battling the demon king who has imprisoned her. The contributors to this volume focus on these "many" Ramayanas. While most scholars continue to rely on Valmiki's Sanskrit Ramayana as the authoritative version of the tale, the contributors to this volume do not. Their essays demonstrate the multivocal nature of the Ramayana by highlighting its variations according to historical period, political context, regional literary tradition, religious affiliation, intended audience, and genre. Socially marginal groups in Indian society--Telugu women, for example, or Untouchables from Madhya Pradesh--have recast the Rama story to reflect their own views of the world, while in other hands the epic has become the basis for teachings about spiritual liberation or the demand for political separatism. Historians of religion, scholars of South Asia, folklorists, cultural anthropologists--all will find here refreshing perspectives on this tale.
