René Girard and the Western Philosophical Tradition, volume 1
This edited volume situates René Girard in relation to the Western philosophical tradition. Each chapter engages the French anthropologist in dialogue with a key figure from the history of Western philosophy, from Plato to Kierkegaard. The pivotal question of René Girard and the Western Philosophical Tradition revolves around Girard’s assertion, “Since the attempt to understand religion on the basis of philosophy has failed, we ought to try the reverse method and read philosophy in the light of religion.” Major philosophers influenced Girard and contributed valuable insights into questions of desire, religion, violence, and the sacred. At the same time, he felt that Western philosoph...

Joker and Philosophy
A philosophical exploration of Joker and the meaning of the iconic antagonist's murderous escapades A diabolically sinister but clownish villain, Joker is a symbolically rich and philosophically fascinating character. Both crazed and cunning, sadistically cruel but seductively charming, the Clown Prince of Crime embodies everything opposed to the positive ideals of order and justice defended by the Batman. With his enigmatic motivations, infectious irreverence, and selfless devotion to evil, Joker never fails to provoke a host of philosophical questions. Joker and Philosophy plumbs the existential depths of the most popular of Gotham City's gallery of villains with an abundance of style, wit...
Power in Modernity
"Isaac Reed's Power in Modernity aims to be a major contribution to social theory. It is a bold and innovative theoretical reimagining of power. Drawing on an eclectic range of ideas from across the humanities and social sciences, Reed rethinks the fundamentals of sociological theorizing of power-upsetting canonical traditions and remaking them with insights from poststructuralism, postcolonial theory, and critical race studies. First, Reed conceptualizes power as having three aspects: relational, discursive, and performative. He explores these aspects in relation to three different kinds of social actors-rector, agent, and other-and their connections. In essence, Reed brings power in the ac...
Violence, the Sacred, and Things Hidden
"In 1973 Girard was invited by the editors of Esprit in Paris to discuss his work with several interlocutors from the fields of philosophy, psychoanalysis, literature, and theology. In this exchange Girard addresses challenges to his thinking, and is further prompted to consider the relation between his critique of primitive or archaic religion and the role of Judeo-Christianity, which Western culture has adopted as its own, and to which his book pays scant attention"--
Jacques Ellul aujourd'hui
Depuis une dizaine d'années, la réception de l'oeuvre de Jacques Ellul a connu une véritable embellie: méconnu de son vivant en dehors de quelques cercles, le professeur de Bordeaux commence à bénéficier d'une certaine reconnaissance. Dans le prolongement de l'ouvrage publié en 2012 sous le titre Générations Ellul, le présent volume présente une cinquantaine de portraits de figures elluliennes, de tous les âges et de tous les milieux. De la mairie de Bordeaux à la Corée du Sud, du monde néocalvinien aux États-Unis jusqu'au milieu du militantisme technocritique en France, la planète ellulienne ne laisse pas d'étonner par sa diversité. Un point commun relie néanmoins tous ces héritiers: la rencontre avec la pensée de Jacques Ellul a bouleversé leur vie, sur un plan professionnel, existentiel, spirituel, et tous cherchent à poursuivre et à incarner des intuitions qui, à leurs yeux, n'ont fait que se confirmer au XXIe siècle.'occasion de ses 65 ans, des amis de Michel Deneken
Figures philosophiques du conflit
L'ambition de cet ouvrage est d'illustrer à la fois comment la philosophie conceptualise le conflit et comment elle s'efforce d'en résoudre les dangers inhérents. Plutôt que de proposer un aperçu purement abstrait de la notion de « conflit », l'ensemble des travaux se focalise sur la confrontation des philosophes à des problèmes historiques tels que la guerre, la dissension sociale, la tyrannie, ou encore le sport.
