" Etre ou s'historialiser? " Rappelée par Sartre dans les Cahiers pour une Morale (1947-1948), cette alternative n'en était plus une pour les intellectuels européens après 1938. Ils durent traduire leur projet littéraire en motifs d'action. Sartre le fit en intégrant ses premiers travaux sur l'imaginaire à une phénoménologie de l'histoire. Ce volume comprend un entretien avec Sartre sur la philosophie et son enseignement. Les autres textes que nous présentons indiquent quelques voies prometteuses du renouvellement de la critique sartrienne et de l'usage des réflexions qu'il inspire. L'attention au contexte, aux intentions argumentatives et aux petites différences qui permettent souvent de connoter les formulations en les rapportant à une question spécifique, ce sont là autant de critères pour une méthodologie philosophique qui libère de la répétition à proportion de ce qu'elle en conjure explicitement le risque. Les quatre thèmes ici traités sont ceux de l'imagination, de la volonté, de l'humanisme et de la vérité : ce sont autant d'entrées en matière pour des dialogues philosophiques. Nous espérons que ces ouvertures permettront à une nouvelle génération d'apprécier les ressources d'inventivité et de cohérence que contiennent les œuvres de Sartre, et de revenir à son mot d'ordre : " Ecrire pour son époque ".

Pierre Bayle (1647-1706) is a key intellectual figure of the period, and his Historical and Critical Dictionary is the philosophy best seller of all time. This work is a critical but sympathetic treatment of a neglected thinker of interest in the fields of the history of modern philosophy, the history of ideas, and 17th century French culture.

In Foucault Beyond Foucault Jeffrey Nealon argues that critics have too hastily abandoned Foucault's mid-career reflections on power, and offers a revisionist reading of the philosopher's middle and later works. Retracing power's "intensification" in Foucault, Nealon argues that forms of political power remain central to Foucault's concerns. He allows us to reread Foucault's own conceptual itinerary and, more importantly, to think about how we might respond to the mutations of power that have taken place since the philosopher's death in 1984. In this, the book stages an overdue encounter between Foucault and post-Marxist economic history.

David (D. M.) Armstrong is one of Australia’s greatest philosophers. His chief philosophical achievement has been the development of a core metaphysical programme, embracing the topics of universals, laws, modality and facts: a naturalistic metaphysics, consistent with a scientific view of the natural world. In this book Stephen Mumford offers an introduction to the full range of Armstrong’s thought. Beginning with a discussion of Armstong’s naturalism, his most general commitment, and his realism about universals, Mumford then examines Armstrong's theories of laws, modality and dispositions, which make up the basics of his core theory. With this in place, Mumford explores his ideas on perception, mind and belief before returning to metaphysics in the final chapters, looking at truth and the new view of instantiation. The book is a dispassionate, fair and unbiased account of Armstrong’s thought. Although Armstong’s is a body of work that Mumford regards highly and of real significance, he nevertheless highlights areas of weakness and issues about which there is room for further debate.
