Au sein des trois « monothéismes, l'idée de l'Absolu crée l'aberration d'un Dieu universel qui ne s'adresse pas à l'homme universel, mais qui s'aliène dans la religion élue. La religion monothéiste tue le Dieu créateur de tous les hommes pour le remplacer par le Dieu d'une religion. C'est ainsi que toute violence religieuse est fondamentalisme, et tout fondamentalisme recèle une violence potentielle contre l'hérétique, le Kafir qui n'entre pas dans la sphère de la vérité divine. De là la nécessité pour les religions de se repenser dans l'interreligieux car la paix entre les religions est la condition de la paix entre les nations. Le dialogue interreligieux peut rénover les religions et les guérir de leur narcissisme, de leur idolâtrie. De la vérité unique à la vérité plurielle, le pluralisme religieux peut être le fondement théologique même du dialogue interreligieux. Mais seul l'humanisme mystique peut donner sa substance au dialogue interreligieux. Le soufi pense que toutes les religions sont vraies puisque la vérité n'est pas une propriété religieuse mais un acte de foi. Au fait, si les idées religieuses séparent, l'expérience mystique unit dans Tawhîdu wâhidun. L'amour est plus important que la différence, car il est le fond de la vérité, le mouvement de Dieu vers l'homme qui rendit possible celui des hommes vers Dieu. En vérité, la relation religieuse doit faire de la souffrance des hommes un nouveau lieu de rencontre théologique.

Installation Theory: The Societal Construction and Regulation of Behaviour provides researchers and practitioners with a simple and powerful framework to analyse and change behaviour. Informed by a wide range of empirical evidence, it includes an accessible synthesis of former theories (ecological psychology, activity theory, situated action, distributed cognition, social constructionism, actor-network theory and social representations). 'Installations' are the familiar, socially constructed, apparatuses which elicit, enable, scaffold and control - and make predictable most of our 'normal' behaviour; from shower-cabins or airport check-ins to family dinners, classes or hospitals. The book describes their threefold structure with a new model enabling systematic and practical analysis of their components. It details the mechanisms of their construction, resilience and evolution, illustrated with dozens of examples, from restaurants to nuclear plant operation. The book also provides a detailed analysis of the processes of creation and selection of innovations, proposing a model for the maintenance and evolution of social systems.

Augmented environments – where objects are empowered by underlying information technology, are now installed in an ever-growing number of offices, public spaces and homes. However designing them to be usable and user-friendly remains a challenge. This book provides an overview and summary of the key research undertaken in augmented environments by some of the most prominent laboratories in the field worldwide (Stanford, Carnegie-Mellon, Fuji-Xerox Palo Alto, EDF R&D, Politecnico di Milano, Swedish Royal Institute of Technology, Russian Academy of Science, UC San Diego, University of Aachen). The book covers all relevant aspects of Augmented Environments from architecture to computer science and psychology. Most useful theories (activity theory, distributed cognition, cognitive attractors, perceived quality...) and design principles (COTS, semantic Rubicon, never-endingness...) as well as practical patterns for implementation are provided by the seminal authors themselves. With this overview, readers can benefit from the experiences of key researchers in the field to construct robust, efficient and user-friendly augmented environments. All those working in the field of human-computer interaction will find this book an invaluable reference source.
