Abstract

The Charmides is among Plato's most intriguing and perplexing dialogues. The range of subjects touched or treated is extremely wide: matters logical, epistemological, moral, ethical, political, and religious. In many cases, these are discussed in a highly inconclusive and aporetic way, especially when it comes to the subject of knowledge. Finally, the dialogue is also difficult on almost every level of its expression; mock-reasonings, misunderstandings, ironies, paradoxes, and perplexities abound. As a result, the run of its many arguments, both on the short and the long range, and its overall

Abstract

This book argues that Aristotle offers us a consistent theory of definition, according to which a particular type of definition – one which states the formal cause of a simple item – is fundamental. It begins by considering definitions as indemonstrable first principles in demonstrations, and inquires how such definitions can have the certainty required by that role. Later chapters look to the Metaphysics to understand how the unity of definitions guarantees their certainty, and to the Topics to discover why definitions must be formulated in terms of the genus and differentia(e) of the object defined. This work contributes to our understanding of the connection between the function of definition in demonstration and its character as a statement of essence.

Abstract

"La métaphysique s'était affadie. C'est l'année même où moururent les derniers grands métaphysiciens français du XVIIe siècle, Malebranche et Arnauld, que naquirent Helvetius et Condillac. [...] A côté de la réfutation négative de la théologie et de la métaphysique, il fallait un système antimétaphysique positif". Marx. L'Essai répond à un tel projet. C'est le premier grand livre de Condillac, la première fondation aussi d'un système qui domina toute la pensée des idéologues. Marx ajoute : "Condillac n'a été supplanté dans les écoles françaises que par la philosophie éclectique". Depuis lors, on peut en effet parler d'une sorte de censure. Sournoise, retorse, symptomatique, elle traverse l'histoire de l'université française, singulièrement de son institution philosophique. La lecture de Condillac par Maine de Biran et Victor Cousin aura forgé une grille pesante. Aujourd'hui encore. Et un programme : ce mot définit aussi ce qui reste de Condillac, en général, dans l'enseignement, les examens, les concours, les thèses. Une des conséquences de cette histoire : il n'était pas facile de mettre la main sur ce livre. Comme si on n'avait pas jugé bon de le laisser entre toutes les mains : à interroger les lois complexes de certaines machines (éditoriales, universitaires, idéologiques, politiques, donc) on peut en admettre l'hypothèse. Est-ce à dire que ce livre est, aujourd'hui, révolutionnaire ? Les choses n'étant pas si simples, il faut donc, d'abord, pouvoir lire. Lire le livre, certes, mais aussi l'enjeu des censures, refoulements, surcharges, oblitérations - le palimpseste et ses grattures. Une longue analyse de Derrida, "L'archéologie du frivole", amorce ce travail.
