L'étude du sens (dans ses dimensions sémantiques et pragmatiques) fait partie du cursus de base en sciences du langage, en philosophie et en psychologie. Plus généralement, elle concerne tous ceux qui s'intéressent au langage et à son utilisation dans la communication. Avec l'essor des sciences cognitives, la sémantique et la pragmatique ont connu des évolutions récentes considérables. L'ouvrage propose une introduction claire et complète à ces domaines classiques et offre l'essentiel des connaissances en la matière. De plus, au fil des chapitres, il retrace leur progression afin d'inclure les concepts les plus récents (relation entre théorie de l'esprit et pragmatique, la pragmatique vériconditionnelle, la notion de concepts ad hoc). Par ailleurs, cet ouvrage met en regard sémantique et pragmatique. Un tel rapprochement permet de fournir une vision globale et cohérente du sens linguistique, en montrant également quels sont les points de frontières entre ces disciplines. Conçu en douze chapitres (qui se terminent par des questions de révision permettant à chacun de vérifier ses connaissances), l'ouvrage se veut un outil pédagogique et clair pour toux ceux - étudiants, enseignants, praticiens en langue et linguistique, philosophie, psychologie, communication, sociologie - qui veulent se familiariser avec ces différents concepts.

This book offers a provocative account of interdisciplinary research across the neurosciences, social sciences and humanities. Setting itself against standard accounts of interdisciplinary 'integration,' and rooting itself in the authors' own experiences, the book establishes a radical agenda for collaboration across these disciplines. Rethinking Interdisciplinarity does not merely advocate interdisciplinary research, but attends to the hitherto tacit pragmatics, affects, power dynamics, and spatial logics in which that research is enfolded. Understanding the complex relationships between brains, minds, and environments requires a delicate, playful and genuinely experimental interdisciplinarity, and this book shows us how it can be done.

Kant deals with national characters in the second part of his Anthropology from a pragmatic point of view of 1798. Firmly rejecting the climatic theory, he advocates an anti-naturalistic stance. However, Kant is skeptical of Hume's tenet that nations owe their characters to their different forms of government. In Kant's view, the most civilized nations are England and France: their characters have to do with purely cultural factors. Complementing each other, the characters of those nations broadly correspond to a masculine and feminine principle, as analyzed by Kant in the previous chapter of his Anthropology. The remaining European and Extra-European nations have a less defined - and, in some cases, mixed - character, that owes something more to the natural dispositions. Yet Kant still manages to avoid naturalistic explanations. In many nations, natural dispositions do prevail over cultural ones, but this simply means that less (and sometimes, nothing) can be said about their characters.

This is a ground-breaking work that offers a new explanation of the power and popularity of literary fictional texts. It does this by explaining the multiple dimensions of any fictional text and why it is that fictional literature cannot be reduced to a subset of these dimensions. This book offers an expansion of the field of pragmatics, "the philosophy of the act," in which the three categories of fictional actors--author, character and reader--can be given their due. It achieves this by bringing together schools of thought that are too often kept apart: Anglo-American pragmatics and European philosophy. Drawing on a range of thinkers, from Charles Morris and John Searle to Friedrich Nietzsche, M. M. Bakhtin and Georg Lukács, the book applies a unique framework to a range of modern fictional texts. Key concepts here are ethical intention and the agon of authorship.
