En 1950, à vingt ans, comme le Baron de Münschhausen catapulté sur la lune, Inge Schneid atterrit brutalement sur un autre continent. Son récit témoigne de dix années de vie personnelle, sociale et professionnelle dans la décennie de la fin du colonialisme belge au Congo. De surprises en surprises, de bouleversements en situations graves ou cocasses, l’auteure raconte avec sa verve naturelle et une plume alerte les rapports officiels et ambigus entre la population congolaise et les “employés des colonies”. Heureusement, nous ne sommes pas dans la langue de bois du temps et c’est à une aventure collective que l’auteure nous invite, dans la réflexion de la distance, dans l’humour, dans l’émotion d’une conscience nouvelle qui surgit. Dans la même collection, Inge Schneid a déjà publié “Exil aux Marolles”, considéré par la presse et les spécialistes de la présence juive pendant la Deuxième Guerre à Bruxelles, comme “LE” livre sur le sujet. Précision des faits, lucidité du regard, humour et joie narrative sont au menu. L’auteure publie ici son deuxième livre, une épopée de femme au Congo belge de 1950 à 1960. Les mêmes qualités d’écriture portent ce récit de vie, de voyage, et de conscience mise à jour…

"Merleau-Ponty states in his Institution and Passivity lectures that he wants to "consider criticism itself as a symbolic form" as opposed to doing "a philosophy of symbolic form." This statement seems counterintuitive for Merleau-Ponty, who has been called "the philosopher of the sensible." In this book, Kaushik investigates this question, arguing that Merleau-Ponty has raised the stakes of his ontology such that it is no longer a matter of finding a solution to the difference between "the real and the fictive" but rather, of constellating and matrixing them. This ontological matrix amounts to a psychoanalysis of the philosophy of identity. Kaushik argues that philosophies of reflection, in which reflection seeks to coincide with its origins, are in fact uncritical because they miss the form of differentiation that limits them. His analyses of the matrices between space-imagination, light-dark, awake-asleep, repression-expression, etc., subvert these philosophies and reveal the symbolic form in terms of its lack of precise origin or destination. Drawing from recently published course materials of Merleau-Ponty's, and attentive to his reliance on literary phrases for phenomenological insights, Kaushik brings out the living force of Merleau-Ponty's thought and develops his radical insight of the primacy of the symbolic form, even in an ontology that claims to be about the sensible and its elements"--

"In Merleau-Ponty and Nishida, Adam Loughnane initiates a dialogue between two of the twentieth century's most important phenomenologists from the Eastern and Western philosophical worlds. Loughnane guides the reader through the complexities and innovations of Nishida's and Merleau-Ponty's theories of artistic expression and their rarely explored concepts of faith. The intricacies of both philosophers' views are illuminated by analyses of artists, including Cezanne, Sesshu, Rodin, Hasegawa, and other major figures of European, Chinese, and Japanese art history, who enact a radical form of expression that Loughnane calls the practice of "motor-perceptual faith." He argues that the artist's motor-perceptual body, as poetically articulated in Nishida's and Merleau-Ponty's early works, enacts a form of faith that can be parsed in the final writings of both philosophers. The concept of faith is enlarged through its enactment by the artist, while the concept of artistic expression is broadened by casting it as a motor-perceptual conception of faith. Merleau-Ponty and Nishida is an exciting new intercultural reading of these philosophers' writings that opens up under-explored areas of their projects. It forms an important conceptual bridge between the two, while challenging distinctions between art, philosophy, and religion, and ultimately philosophy East and West"--

"Through accessible analyses of Merleau-Ponty's views of linguistic expression and understanding, and by tracing the evolution of these views throughout the course of his philosophical career, Merleau-Ponty's Phenomenology of Language offers a comprehensive picture of his engagement with the philosophy of language"--
