Abstract

The texts of Boris Hessen and Henryk Grossmann assembled in this volume are important contributions to the historiography of the Scientific Revolution and to the methodology of the historiography of science. They are of course also historical documents, not only testifying to Marxist discourse of the time but also illustrating typical European fates in the first half of the twentieth century. Hessen was born a Jewish subject of the Russian Czar in the Ukraine, participated in the October Revolution and was executed in the Soviet Union at the beginning of the purges. Grossmann was born a Jewish subject of the Austro-Hungarian Kaiser in Poland and served as an Austrian officer in the First World War; afterwards he was forced to return to Poland and then because of his revolutionary political activities to emigrate to Germany; with the rise to power of the Nazis he had to flee to France and then America while his family, which remained in Europe, perished in Nazi concentration camps. Our own acquaintance with the work of these two authors is also indebted to historical context (under incomparably more fortunate circumstances): the revival of Marxist scholarship in Europe in the wake of the student movement and the professionalization of history of science on the Continent. We hope that under the again very different conditions of the early twenty-first century these texts will contribute to the further development of a philosophically informed socio-historical approach to the study of science.

Abstract

The first volume of letters written to Pestalozzi contains 713 letters written between 1764 and 1804 by illustrious correspondents such as Karl Viktor von Bonstetten, Philipp Emanuel von Fellenberg, Hans Caspar Hirzel, Isaak Iselin, Johann Caspar Lavater, Anna Schulthess and 170 further writers, some of them unknown. The letters demonstrate Pestalozzi's literary success, economic failure and rise to Helvetian National educator. They provide everyday, cultural and political-historical insights into the varied lives and thoughts of families, parties, businesses, visionaries and reactionaries dur

Abstract

Cet ouvrage propose une lecture nouvelle de la doctrine de la religion chez Bergson, en analysant la méthodologie originale empruntée par le philosophe, notamment dans Les Deux Sources de la Morale et de la Religion. Celle-ci met en jeu sa métaphysique spiritualiste et les acquis de la sociologie de son temps, en l’occurence celle de l’École française fondée par Émile Durkheim. L’originalité et la modernité de la démarche bergsonienne résident dans l’intégration différentielle de ces deux points de vue, où chacun d’entre eux se trouvent en retour redéfinis dans une perspective nouvelle. En adoptant ce « mixte » méthodologique, Bergson reconnaît ainsi la nécessité de traiter le fait religieux dans sa polymorphie, à la fois comme fait spirituel et social. Dans cette optique, le fait mystique, saisi indépendamment du dogme et de la foi, occupe une place centrale dans la mesure où, d’une part, il s’impose de manière inédite dans la doctrine bergsonienne comme l’« auxiliaire puissant de la recherche philosophique », et où, d’autre part, en s’incarnant dans des « individualités », il met à jour une dialectique subtile qui se joue entre le social et le spirituel, envisagés de manière divergente par la métaphysique bergsonienne et la sociologie durkheimienne. Brigitte Sitbon-Peillon tente ainsi de comprendre le rapport complexe qui se joue entre les différents niveaux de ce savoir, où la religion devient le medium suscitant leur articulation. On y voit comment Bergson, dans son dernier ouvrage, tout en déployant les conditions d’une épistémologie originale à une époque décisive pour l’histoire des sciences, s’éloigne des métaphysiques classiques, mais ne court pas le « risque » d’une abolition de son exigence spéculative : celle de faire de la philosophie une expérience intégrale.

Abstract

The American political economist Henry George devoted his life to the single tax. Virtually forgotten today, his best seller Progress and Poverty influenced numerous people in the English-speaking world. His fame and fall were due to a temporary alliance with the American Irish Catholics who were agitating for the land war in Ireland and social change in their new homeland. So significant was this tidal wave of support that it swamped the American consciousness in the late 1870s and early 1880s including prelates of the Roman Catholic Church, some of whom were conservatively inclined. George astutely navigated the waters by working with the radical editor of The Irish World, Patrick Ford. But then George made a politically awkward friendship with Father Edward McGlynn, an ardent supporter of modernism and the single tax, who was a constant irritant to the church hierarchy and subsequently excommunicated. The issues that McGlynn raised rocked the American Catholic Church and the Vatican itself. The counter-campaign waged by the church and devout Irish Catholics blocked McGlynn and put an end to George's fleeting success.
