Les premiers volumes de cette biographie de Xavier Zubiri brossaient un portrait de ce philosophe par vocation, et prêtre malgré lui, qui déjà s'était frotté aux plus grands courants de pensée de l'époque contemporaine. Après la Guerre civile, le tome 3 retrace l'histoire de ses grandes oeuvres, dans une solitude accrue, mais féconde. On retiendra avant tout Naturaleza, Historia, Dios (1943) Sobre la esencia (1962), Inteligencia sentiente (1981-1982), trilogie avec laquelle il conclut son oeuvre. On y trouvera la collaboration de son disciple le Jésuite Ignacio Ellacuria, l'un des Jésuites qui ont initié la théologie de la libération, d'inspiration zubirienne et non marxiste. Ignacio, collaborateur et vulgarisateur de Zubiri, sera assassiné au Salvador en 1990. Il est impressionnant de constater comment un homme qui s'est tenu strictement en marge de l'action politique a pu influencer des hommes engagés en politique, en les libérant de leurs idéologies par la réflexion philosophique : Zain, Aranguren, Marias, Ochoa, Schrödinger, Ruiz-Giménez, gravitent autour de lui, publient en s'inspirant de lui, de ses livres et de ses nombreux cours encore inédits. Quatre générations de philosophes, en activité et futurs philosophes, se réunissent pendant dix ans au Séminaire Zubiri : la génération de 1927, celle de 1940, celle de l'ouverture vers l'Europe, et celle qui succède au 1968 français. Et ensemble, ils collaborent autour du vieux philosophe dans le cadre de la Société des Etudes et des Publications. Un livre qui inspirera aussi bien les séminaires de philosophie que les historiens, et les hispanistes. Celui qui était professeur invité à Fribourg quand Lévinas y étudiait, mériterait d'être connu et étudié en France. Cette biographie situe Zubiri dans un horizon phénoménologique, en dialogue avec Husserl et Heidegger, et toujours attentif aux nouveaux développements scientifiques et théologiques depuis son effort pour décrire le réel de la façon exacte dont il se manifeste dans les actes humains.

Xavier Zubiri, qui allait devenir un classique de la philosophie, a été l'un des penseurs les plus vigoureux et importants du XXe siècle. Sa vie traverse tous les rêves et toutes les catastrophes du siècle, et sa philosophie dépasse toutes les frontières, mais ni sa vie ni son oeuvre ne peuvent être séparées du drame, du caractère et des rêves de l'Espagne. La philosophie de Zubiri est inévitablement ancrée dans son époque et dans ce qui constitue la trame complexe de la condition humaine : les sentiments, les passions et les désirs. On ne peut la comprendre si l'on se maintient à l'écart de sa trajectoire vitale. Les auteurs de cette biographie ne se sont donc pas limités à un itinéraire critique de sa pensée, mais ils se sont focalisés sur la vie du philosophe et ce qui l'entoure, de sorte que cette oeuvre est plus que la première biographie du grand penseur, c'est aussi une rétrospective magistrale de l'histoire culturelle de l'Europe du XXe siècle. A partir de correspondances, documents personnels, témoignages, mémoires, études et interviews, ce livre ébauche ce que fut, au fond, la vie de Zubiri : une recherche incessante de son propre cheminement philosophique à une époque où l'homme, privé de ses anciennes sécurités (la nature, Dieu, la raison...) allait, plus seul que jamais, et plus terrifié que jamais par sa propre solitude.

This book offers a cross disciplinary treatment of the rapidly growing field of integrated approaches in risk assessment in mountainous areas. All major aspects related to hazard and risk assessment, risk management, and governance are illustrated with a wide range of case studies. The first part of the book focuses on new techniques for assessing the natural hazards of different types of mass movements. State-of-the-art techniques for morphological characterization and monitoring of displacements are described. Computational advances are covered to explain the process systems and to quantify the hazards of fast and slow-moving landslides. In the second part of the book methodologies are included for assessing the impact of these natural hazards on the society in terms of risks. In this part, methodologies for defining the vulnerability of the elements at risk are shown and the use of run-out models for risk assessment of the dangerous rapid mass movements are evaluated. The third part of the book focuses on the response of society towards the problems of hazard and risk. It highlights the role of spatial planning, early warning systems and evacuation plans for risk management. It establishes practical thresholds for acceptable and tolerable risks and emphasizes the importance of education and communication to society. Audience The book is of interest to a wide range of experts from related disciplines, practitioners and stakeholders to demonstrate the importance of an integrated approach for all aspects of risks in mountainous areas.

This book is one out of 8 IAEG XII Congress volumes, and deals with Landslide processes, including: field data and monitoring techniques, prediction and forecasting of landslide occurrence, regional landslide inventories and dating studies, modeling of slope instabilities and secondary hazards (e.g. impulse waves and landslide-induced tsunamis, landslide dam failures and breaching), hazard and risk assessment, earthquake and rainfall induced landslides, instabilities of volcanic edifices, remedial works and mitigation measures, development of innovative stabilization techniques and applicability to specific engineering geological conditions, use of geophysical techniques for landslide characterization and investigation of triggering mechanisms. Focuses is given to innovative techniques, well documented case studies in different environments, critical components of engineering geological and geotechnical investigations, hydrological and hydrogeological investigations, remote sensing and geophysical techniques, modeling of triggering, collapse, runout and landslide reactivation, geotechnical design and construction procedures in landslide zones, interaction of landslides with structures and infrastructures and possibility of domino effects. The Engineering Geology for Society and Territory volumes of the IAEG XII Congress held in Torino from September 15-19, 2014, analyze the dynamic role of engineering geology in our changing world and build on the four main themes of the congress: environment, processes, issues, and approaches. The congress topics and subject areas of the 8 IAEG XII Congress volumes are: Climate Change and Engineering Geology Landslide Processes River Basins, Reservoir Sedimentation and Water Resources Marine and Coastal Processes Urban Geology, Sustainable Planning and Landscape Exploitation Applied Geology for Major Engineering Projects Education, Professional Ethics and Public Recognition of Engineering Geology Preservation of Cultural Heritage.
