Meister Eckhart and Thomas of Erfurt lived streets away from one another. Thomas was the last great figure of the Modistae, the speculative grammarians who were concerned with the relationship between grammar and ontology, the structure of the sentence mirroring the structure of the world. Thomas’ major work – the Grammatica speculativa – was deeply influential in the medieval period. But does Thomas’ geographical proximity to Eckhart suggest a concomitant influence of modism on his thought? What of modism’s legacy after the rapid demise of the grammatical theory in the early-mid fourteenth century? The contributions to this volume deal with these matters, and were originally presented at the ‘Meister Eckhart and Thomas of Erfurt’ conference at the Max-Weber-Center at the University of Erfurt, 14-15 November 2013.

Can social theories forge new paths into an uncertain future?The future has become increasingly difficult to imagine. We might be able to predict a few events, but imagining how looming disasters will coincide is simultaneously necessary and impossible. Drawing on speculative fiction and social theory,Theory for the World to Comeis the beginning of a conversation about theories that move beyond nihilistic conceptions of the capitalism-caused Anthropocene and toward generative bodies of thought that provoke creative ways of thinking about the world ahead. Matthew J. Wolf-Meyer draws on such authors as Kim Stanley Robinson and Octavia Butler, and engages with afrofuturism, indigenous speculative fiction, and films from the 1970s and '80s to help think differently about the future and its possibilities. Forerunners: Ideas First Short books of thought-in-process scholarship, where intense analysis, questioning, and speculation take the lead

L'épistémologie est l'étude de la science, ou plutôt des sciences. L'usage de ce mot et la conception qu'il exprime sont relativement récents, puisqu'on ne les rencontre, dans la littérature scientifique et philosophique de langue française, qu'au début du XXe siècle. L'épistémologie implique que la connaissance scientifique, de même que la connaissance commune sur laquelle elle s'appuie, se situent toutes les deux dans l'Histoire. Entre cette base, et son environnement social, culturel et éthique, se situe l'éventail entier de la connaissance scientifique. Cet ouvrage analyse l'ensemble des problèmes qu'elle soulève, de la logique aux sciences de l'homme et de la société, en passant par les sciences physiques et les sciences du vivant.
