Abstract

In March 2011 Japan's Tōhoku region was devastated by a massive earthquake and tsunami. This was another blow to an area that has been dogged by hardships throughout Japanese history. Beginning in the middle of the 19th century, modern Japan, in its quest to form a nation-state, situated Tōhoku on the periphery and emphasised the region's alleged backwardness. By examining how Tōhoku has been perceived and constructed through this lens across the span of history, Hidemichi Kawanishi reveals a Japan that is far more diverse than traditionally thought.

Abstract

The book recovers and reconstructs what Oppenheimer said and wrote during the 1940s, 50s and 60s (i.e., his hope and vision) with the goal of identifying what might be of general philosophical interest today. It considers not only Oppenheimer's thought, but also his life using philosophical ideas developed by contemporary philosophers.In addition, to deepen and broaden the discussion and demonstrate the relevance of Oppenheimer's vision for the present, the author analyzes his views using contemporary international relations theory with a special emphasis on nuclear nonproliferation and disarmament. This examination reveals ways in which Oppenheimer's reasoning was prescient of current work being carried out to control, and possibly move beyond, the nuclear revolution.

Abstract

This volume consists of twelve essays from leading scholars and younger researchers on various aspects of the life, work and legacy of Robert Owen (1771-1858). A radical thinker and humanitarian employer Owen made a major contribution to nineteenth-century social movements including co-operatives, trade unions and workers' education. He was a pioneer of enlightened approaches to the education of children and an advocate of birth control. He established utopian communities in both the United Kingdom and the United States of America, and is often thought of as a leading early British socialist.

Abstract

L’Encyclopédie des Lumières (1751-1772) a construit un ordre du savoir fondé sur la liaison entre sciences, arts et métiers. L’Encyclopédie méthodique de Panckoucke (1782-1832), présentée comme une suite a, pour sa part, éclaté le savoir en matières. Dans l’une, la réflexion sur un « tout » constitue le point de départ d’une position philosophique distribuée dans un ordre encyclopédique alors que, dans l’autre, ce sont les matières qui sont prioritaires, valorisant ainsi la spécialisation scientifique par la publication de dictionnaires séparés et ordonnés selon deux ordres analytique et sémantique. De nos jours, on entend dire que tout est lié dans la nature. Cette affirmation s’impose chez d’Alembert pour qui, dans la mosaïque des inventions scientifiques, les pierres qui ont contribué à paver le chemin de la vérité édifient l’histoire des sciences. Le lecteur trouvera dans cet ouvrage l’Encyclopédie de Diderot et d’Alembert exposée, d’une part, dans les transformations destinées à l’améliorer, contrefaçons comprises, et, d’autre part, dans son projet philosophique. En 1938, avec l’Encyclopedia, Otto Neurath lançait à son tour un projet d’unification des sciences à partir de l’esprit systématique de d’Alembert en agençant les matières à l’aide de « ponts systématiques ». C’est ce cheminement toujours d’actualité du savoir et des matières que Martine Groult nous propose d’explorer. Issu d’un Séminaire donné à l’Université de Chicago, ce livre interroge la postérité de l’Encyclopédie à travers les trois étapes que sont l’esprit philosophique, la pensée scientifique - avec l’éclatement de la métaphysique - et la théorie de la connaissance.

Abstract

In 1942, J. Robert Oppenheimer accepted the leadership of the Manhattan Project at the Los Alamos Laboratory, which produced the first atomic bomb three years later. This book examines the ethics of Oppenheimer's choice to take that job and our judgment of his acceptance, leading to the larger question of the meaning of moral judgment itself. Through an analysis of Oppenheimer's choice, Richard Mason explores questions of responsibility, the justification for the pursuit of scientific curiosity, the purity of research, and many other topics of interest in scientific ethics. This unique look at one man's choice brings out the necessary step from personal detail to abstract reflection—it may be easy to praise or condemn Oppenheimer's choice, but less easy to justify our praise or condemnation. Oppenheimer's Choice establishes the possibility of this kind of moral philosophy—neither "applied" nor "practical" ethics, but instead a sustained concentration on a single choice, and what it means.
