En science, en politique, en éthique la philosophie semble avoir échouée. Reste l'esthétique, la beauté. Peut-elle encore, sinon sauver le monde, ressusciter la pensée ? Un appel à rénover l'héritage occidental à partir de l'art de la poésie, du sensible. Une métaphysique incarnée. Et si la métaphysique était le plus grand bienfait de l'histoire de l'humanité ? Elle repose sur une expérience toute simple et déconcertante : celle de l'infinie beauté du monde qui s'impose à notre intelligence malgré le mal, la souffrance et l'absurde que nous ne manquons pas de rencontrer et qui ne suscitent notre indignation que parce que l'attente métaphysique est première. L'idée de base de la métaphysique est que cette beauté a une raison, et que l'homme y a part. En découvrant la beauté des choses, dont la contemplation fait notre bonheur, en reconnaissant une dignité à l'humain et en osant penser sa capacité de transcendance, la métaphysique nous procure des raisons de vivre et d'espérer, réalisant ainsi la finalité de la philosophie elle-même. Toute philosophie est métaphysique ou triste de ne pas l'être. Cet ouvrage propose une rafraîchissante herméneutique et mise en œuvre de la pensée métaphysique, qui va de pair avec une conception métaphysique de l'herméneutique elle-même

This edited volume brings together contributions from prominent scholars to discuss new approaches to Plato’s philosophy, especially in the burgeoning fields of Platonic ontology and psychology. Topics such as the relationship between mind, soul and emotions, as well as the connection between ontology and ethics are discussed through the analyses of dialogues from Plato’s middle and late periods, such as the Republic, Symposium, Theaetetus, Timaeus and Laws. These works are being increasingly studied both as precursors for Aristotelian philosophy and in their own right, and the analyses included in this volume reveal some new interpretations of topics such as Plato’s attitude towards artistic imagination and the possibility of speaking of a teleology in Plato. Focusing on hot topics in the area, Psychology and Ontology in Plato provides a good sense of what is happening in Platonic scholarship worldwide and will be of interest to academic researchers and teachers interested in ancient philosophy, ontology and philosophical psychology.

This volume presents a selection of the Proceedings of the Workshop on Anticipation, Agency and Complexity held in Trento (Italy) on April 2017. The contributions contained in the book brilliantly revolve around three core concepts: agency, complexity and anticipation, giving precious insights to further define the discipline of anticipation. In a world that moves increasingly fast, constantly on the verge of disruptive events, more and more scholars and practitioners in any field feel in need of new approaches to make sense of the complexity and uncertainty that the future seems to bear. The theory of anticipation tries to describe how possible futures are intrinsically intertwined with the present.

'This is the first full-scale engagement between two great intellectual traditions often thought to be antithetical: Marxism and Pragmatism. Focusing on human emancipation and social progress as the common element, Ulf Schulenberg offers an urgent and capacious analysis of how recent and contemporary debates—from Lukács and Adorno to Jacques Rancière, and from Dewey and Rorty to Richard Bernstein—shape and are shaped by this problematic. Rarely have discussions about post-metaphysical philosophy and aesthetic theory been brought together with such deftness and rigor. In short, this is a field-defining book that no one interested in either tradition, or in critical theory tout court, can afford to ignore.' — Robert Doran, Professor of French and Comparative Literature, University of Rochester, USA.
