"Vous n'avez pas, M. Mitterrand, le monopole du coeur !", "Vous êtes devenu l'homme du passif", "Dans les yeux, je le conteste"... Si ces répliques fameuses appartiennent à notre mémoire collective, c'est qu'elles ont été prononcées devant les caméras et entendues par des millions de téléspectateurs : la vie politique, sous la Ve République, se joue à la télévision. A travers les grands débats rassemblés ici, c'est ainsi toute l'histoire politique des cinquante dernières années qui s'offre au lecteur. II y retrouvera les grands tribuns, de Georges Marchais à, Jean-Marie Le Pen en passant par Pierre Mendès France, François Mitterrand, Nicolas Sarkozy ou François Hollande, se livrant à des joutes verbales tantôt grandioses, tantôt dérisoires ; il reconnaîtra les thèmes qui ont agité la France et soulevé les passions: Mai 68, le traité de Maastricht, mais aussi l'énergie nucléaire, le chômage, l'immigration... Lire aujourd'hui ces échanges, c'est retrouver la puissance d'une parole quasi théâtrale et les émotions d'une histoire qui s'écrit en direct ; c'est toucher du doigt comment la télévision, avec ses codes et ses exigences, a modifié notre façon de faire de la politique; c'est enfin revivre, à quelques années de distance, ces grands moments qui ont fait l'opinion.

Walter Cohen, Wendy and Leonard Cooper; Rabbi Howard Gorin; Gittel and Alan Hilibrand; Marjorie and Jeffrey Major; Jeanette Lerman Neubauer and Joe Neubauer; Gayle and David Smith; and Harriet and Donald Young. Ever since Abraham's famous argument with God, Judaism has been full of debate. Moses and Korah, David and Nathan, Hillel and Shammai, the Vilna Gaon and the Ba'al Shem Tov, Spinoza and the Amsterdam Rabbis . . . the list goes on. Jews debate justice, authority, inclusion, spirituality, resistance, evolution, Zionism, and more. No wonder that Judaism cherishes the expression machloket l'shem shamayim, "an argument for the sake of heaven."  In this concise but important survey, Rabbi Barry L. Schwartz presents the provocative and vibrant thesis that debate and disputation are not only encouraged within Judaism but reside at the very heart of Jewish history and theology. In his graceful, engaging, and creative prose, Schwartz presents an introduction to an intellectual history of Judaism through the art of argumentation. Beyond their historical importance, what makes these disputations so compelling is that nearly all of them, regardless of their epochs, are still being argued. Schwartz builds the case that the basis of Judaism is a series of unresolved rather than resolved arguments.  Drawing on primary sources, and with a bit of poetic license, Schwartz reconstructs the real or imagined dialogue of ten great debates and then analyzes their significance and legacy. This parade of characters spanning three millennia of biblical, rabbinic, and modern disputation reflects the panorama of Jewish history with its monumental political, ethical, and spiritual challenges.

Warriors of the Cloisters tells how key cultural innovations from Central Asia revolutionized medieval Europe and gave rise to the culture of science in the West. Medieval scholars rarely performed scientific experiments, but instead contested issues in natural science, philosophy, and theology using the recursive argument method. This highly distinctive and unusual method of disputation was a core feature of medieval science, the predecessor of modern science. We know that the foundations of science were imported to Western Europe from the Islamic world, but until now the origins of such key elements of Islamic culture have been a mystery. In this provocative book, Christopher I. Beckwith traces how the recursive argument method was first developed by Buddhist scholars and was spread by them throughout ancient Central Asia. He shows how the method was adopted by Islamic Central Asian natural philosophers--most importantly by Avicenna, one of the most brilliant of all medieval thinkers--and transmitted to the West when Avicenna's works were translated into Latin in Spain in the twelfth century by the Jewish philosopher Ibn Da'ud and others. During the same period the institution of the college was also borrowed from the Islamic world. The college was where most of the disputations were held, and became the most important component of medieval Europe's newly formed universities. As Beckwith demonstrates, the Islamic college also originated in Buddhist Central Asia. Using in-depth analysis of ancient Buddhist, Classical Arabic, and Medieval Latin writings, Warriors of the Cloisters transforms our understanding of the origins of medieval scientific culture.

Le Monument de l’écrit sur les Choses divines est le dernier livre que Schelling ait fait paraître. Non seulement il figure parmi ce que la littérature polémique compte de plus splendide, mais il constitue le point d’orgue de la dernière des trois grandes querelles qui ont marqué l’essor de l’idéalisme allemand. En développant l’idée que le mouvement de la science doit prendre la forme d’un développement de soi de l’objet même, l’ouvrage prépare les Âges du monde et constitue le point de basculement vers ce que Schelling appellera la philosophie positive. Une présentation de textes inédits en français de Friedrich Schlegel et Victor Cousin complète ce volume. Elle montre que la caractérisation polémique de Jacobi à laquelle procède son adversaire n’interdit pas de voir en lui non seulement le premier témoin, mais un acteur à part entière du développement de la philosophie classique allemande.
