Abstract

Connu comme l'un des principaux auteurs de la Contre-Révolution en France, Joseph de Maistre a inspiré une riche tradition d'interprétations qui n'ont pas su présenter de perspective globale et unifiée de l'œuvre maistrienne. Il s'agit pourtant d'une démarche nécessaire pour saisir l'essence de l'œuvre et l'intention profonde de l'auteur.

Abstract

Sacred Music and Liturgy After Vatican II recounts the important role that Monsignor Schuler played in the post-Vatican II Church. It was his heroic commitment, through countless writings in Sacred Music magazine, and through the authentic implementation of the Council's Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy at the Church of Saint Agnes in Saint Paul, Minnesota, that has helped keep the patrimony of Catholic sacred music and liturgy alive against all odds in the United States.

Abstract

For the past eight decades, we have lived in “the American Century” – a period during which the US has enjoyed unrivalled power – be it political, economic or military - on the global stage. Born on the cusp of this new era, Joseph S. Nye Jr. has spent a lifetime illuminating our understanding of the changing contours of America power and world affairs. His many books on the nature of power and political leadership have rightly earned him his reputation as one of the most influential international relations scholars in the world today

Abstract

The anthology consists of essays authored by scholars of different nationalities from diverse cultures, nations and primary languages. They cover Conrad’s presence across multiple media (fiction, films, comics, and graphic novels). The collection is unique because the contributors focused on Conrad’s presence in contemporary culture – a constantly changing field – rather than well-trodden paths. The exploration of Polish, French, Italian, Spanish, English and American works of art strengthens its originality. The artists discussed in connection with Conrad include Olga Tokarczuk, Stanisław Lem, Robert Silveberg, Loic Godart, Christian Bobin, Christian Perrissin, Tom Tirabosco, Eduardo Berti, J.M. Coetzee, Michelangelo Antonioni. Last but not least, the volume contains 20 stunning reproductions in full colour from films, graphic novels and comics.

Abstract

This book offers a cutting-edge interpretation of the philosophy of F.W.J. Schelling by critically reconsidering the interpretations of some of his "successors." It argues that Schelling's philosophy should be read as an ontology of immanence, highlighting its relevance for ongoing debates on ethics and freedom.The book builds on a key notion from Schelling's Philosophy of Revelation where he outlines the process through which transcendence must return to immanence in order to be grasped and understood. The author identifies Jaspers, Heidegger, and Deleuze as the main interpreters of Schelling's philosophical activity, highlighting their relevance for subsequent Schelling scholarship. Heidegger and Jaspers refer to Schelling's philosophy in negative terms, namely as an incomplete and unviable philosophical system, whereas Deleuze holds the immanent core of Schelling's ontological discourse in high regard. The author's analysis demonstrates that reading Schelling's philosophy as an ontology of immanence not only avoids Heidegger's and Jaspers's criticisms but is also more fitting to Schelling's original meaning. Accordingly, his reading allows us to fully grasp Schelling's thought in all its strength and consistency: as a philosophy that avoids metaphysical abstractions and maintains the concreteness of concepts like God, nature, freedom by binding them to a solid and material account of Being. Finally, the author uses Schelling to propose an innovative reading of freedom as a matter of resistance, and of philosophy as an activity whose main purpose is that of seeking the actual extent and place of (human) life and freedom within nature. The author originally emphasises the relevance of these conclusions on contemporary debates in Postcolonial Critical Theory and Environmental Ethics.Schelling, Freedom, and the Immanent Made Transcendent. From Philosophy of Nature to Environmental Ethics will appeal to scholars and advanced students working in 19th-century Continental philosophy, German idealism, and Postcolonial Critical Theory and Environmental Ethics.

Abstract

Le pacte germano-soviétique, signé à Moscou le 23 août 1939, a stupéfait le monde avant de le précipiter dans le Second conflit mondial du xxe siècle. Contre-nature d’apparence, cette alliance entre deux régimes totalitaires a été scellée en opposition à leur ennemi commun, les démocraties occidentales, et pour servir des intérêts complémentaires : partage de l’Europe centrale (Pologne, pays Baltes entre autres), fournitures de matières premières russes (pétrole, caoutchouc, notamment) pour soutenir l’effort de guerre allemand. Hitler et Staline ont fait fructifier leur entente au-delà d’une complicité de circonstance car ils étaient faits pour s’entendre. L’affrontement sanglant qui a opposé ensuite l’Allemagne nazie et l’Union soviétique, à partir de juin 1941, a fini par faire oublier la gémellité des systèmes rouge et brun à l’origine d’une guerre qui a meurtri la planète.Revenir de nos jours sur les convergences idéologiques, les connivences politiques, les affinités psychologiques entre le communisme et le nazisme est une démarche essentielle alors que le pouvoir russe actuel instrumentalise ce passé pour justifier sa volonté de conquête au prétexte de poursuivre le combat mené contre le fascisme d’antan, tout en escamotant cette page honteuse de l’histoire.
