Caspar Hare makes an original and compelling case for "egocentric presentism," a view about the nature of first-person experience, about what happens when we see things from our own particular point of view. A natural thought about our first-person experience is that "all and only the things of which I am aware are present to me." Hare, however, goes one step further and claims, counterintuitively, that the thought should instead be that "all and only the things of which I am aware are present." There is, in other words, something unique about me and the things of which I am aware. On Myself and Other, Less Important Subjects represents a new take on an old view, known as solipsism, which maintains that people's experiences give them grounds for believing that they have a special, distinguished place in the world--for example, believing that only they exist or that other people do not have conscious minds like their own. Few contemporary thinkers have taken solipsism seriously. But Hare maintains that the version of solipsism he argues for is in indeed defensible, and that it is uniquely capable of resolving some seemingly intractable philosophical problems--both in metaphysics and ethics--concerning personal identity over time, as well as the tension between self-interest and the greater good. This formidable and tightly argued defense of a seemingly absurd view is certain to provoke debate.

C'est à une toute nouvelle lecture des Méditations Métaphysiques de Descartes que Françoise Pochon-Wesolek nous convie, grâce à un commentaire s'attachant au détail du texte. Elle met notamment en évidence des erreurs de traduction du latin, source d'incompréhensions voire de contre-sens sur cet ouvrage pourtant si célèbre et tant étudié. L'auteur y souligne le rôle central de l'évidence à l'ceuvre dans tout le cheminement intellectuel de Descartes, qu'il faut distinguer, pour en comprendre la portée essentielle, de la certitude, qui pourtant lui semble proche. Plus qu'un simple commentaire, l'ouvrage se présente comme une expérience de pensée, un exercice spirituel, fidèle au titre même de l'ouvrage : une méditation. Il est suivi par un débat avec certains des commentateurs les plus reconnus de la pensée cartésienne à propos des problèmes fondamentaux, qui mettent en jeu le statut de l'évidence : le doute et sa portée, le caractère indubitable du Cogito, le statut des idées innées, l'objection du cercle vicieux, etc. Tout ceci pour prendre ses distances avec un soi-disant " rationalisme cartésien ".
