Depuis son origine, la sociologie s’est emparée de la question de la place des religions dans le monde contemporain et explore avec passion les changements du religieux. Le bouddhisme, qui se développe dans des sociétés éloignées et diverses, constitue à cet égard un terrain fertile pour le chercheur par les possibilités de comparaisons qu’il offre. À partir de données récoltées auprès de trois organisations chan (zen), toutes fondées dans les années 1980 mais situées respectivement en Chine populaire, à Taïwan et en France, ce livre reprend la question de la modernité religieuse sous l’angle spécifique de ses rapports à la temporalité. Dans un va-et-vient subtil entre le Temple Chan Bailin reconstruit sous le régime post-maoïste, la Société Chan Moderne fondée à Taipei dans un environnement urbain, et le Village des Pruniers, centre bouddhique international installé en Dordogne, l’ouvrage montre comment ces acteurs bouddhistes négocient des ajustements entre une temporalité moderne, à la fois réflexive, tournée vers le futur et encline au changement accéléré, et une temporalité religieuse renvoyant essentiellement à un impératif de continuité. Les réformes à l’œuvre sont ainsi analysées selon quatre dimensions : réinterprétation des lignées spirituelles, reformulation des doctrines, réorganisation des pratiques collectives et reconfiguration des rapports d’autorité. En conjuguant rigueur de l’observation et souci théorique, cette enquête « asiatique » renouvelle avec acuité une question cardinale de la sociologie des religions.

Thomas Jefferson, author of the Declaration of Independence, and James Madison, 'Father of the Constitution,' were two of the most important Founders of the United States as well as the closest of political allies. Yet historians have often seen a tension between the idealistic rhetoric of the Declaration and the more pedestrian language of the Constitution. Moreover, to some, the adoption of the Constitution represented a repudiation of the democratic values of the Revolution. In this book, Jeff Broadwater explores the evolution of the constitutional thought of these two seminal American figures, from the beginning of the American Revolution through the adoption of the Bill of Rights.

The desire for the 'core' leader has been imbedded in the ruling philosophy of the Chinese Communist Party. As the role of the 'core' leader and his interactions with other ruling elite are important in understanding Chinese politics, this book attempts to focus on the role of the party chief and how he could become the 'core' of the leadership. Xuezhi Guo provides the most detailed and comprehensive scrutiny of the 'core' of the Chinese Communist Party leadership and meticulously analyses the cultural, philosophical, and ideological origins as well as its evolution throughout the party's history. This study introduces an eclectic approach that integrates the most useful analytical perspectives and insights from Chinese political history, philosophy, and mainstream Western methodologies in order to explain the consistent patterns of elite politics and the behavior of the party's high-ranking leaders during times of cooperation and conflict from Mao Zedong to Xi Jinping.

"This is the first book of its kind that employs hundreds of Chinese sources to explain the history and current state of Chinese Communist intelligence operations. It profiles the leaders, top spies, and important operations in the history of China's espionage organs, and links to an extensive online glossary of Chinese language intelligence and security terms. This work allows the reader an unprecedented view into the murky world of Chinese espionage both past and present, enabling a better understanding of how pervasive and important is its influence both in China and abroad"--
