On the Existence of God
Of the works by Franz Brentano (1838-1917) which have appeared in thus far, perhaps none is better suited to convey a clear idea of the English spirit of the man that this volume of his lectures on proving the existence of God. In order to understand his metaphysics, it would he better to read The Theory of Categories; in order to master the finer points of his psychology, it would be better to read Psychology From an Empirical Standpoint; in order to appreciate his ethical theory, it would be better to read The Origin of Our Knowledge of Right and Wrong or, for a more thorough treatment, The Foundation and Construction of Ethics.

Pre-reflective Consciousness
Pre-reflective Consciousness: Sartre and Contemporary Philosophy of Mind delves into the relationship between the current analytical debates on consciousness and the debates that took place within continental philosophy in the twentieth century and in particular around the time of Sartre and within his seminal works. Examining the return of the problem of subjectivity in philosophy of mind and the idea that phenomenal consciousness could not be reduced to functional or cognitive properties, this volume includes twenty-two unique contributions from leading scholars in the field. Asking questions such as: Why we should think that self-consciousness is non-reflective? Is subjectivity first-personal? Does consciousness necessitate self-awareness? Do we need pre-reflective self-consciousness? Are ego-disorders in psychosis a dysfunction of pre-reflective self-awareness? How does the Cartesian duality between body and mind fit into Sartre’s conceptions of consciousness?
La philosophie morale et politique de Charles Taylor
Ce livre offre une interprétation de la pensée du philosophe canadien Charles Taylor. Les différentes composantes de cette philosophie - le langage, l'identité morale, le multiculturalisme, la théorie politique, etc. - sont exposées par l'entremise d'une étude exhaustive de l'œuvre de Taylor. L'ouvrage démontre comment ces divers éléments convergent tous vers une nouvelle théorie morale et politique adaptée à notre condition contemporaine. Essence et existence sont les deux axes fondamentaux de la pensée de Taylor : d'une part, la nécessité, toujours présente aujourd'hui, de recourir à des sources morales pour atteindre nos idéaux modernes de liberté et d'authenticité et, d'autre part, le besoin d'incarner dans nos modes de vie ces idéaux moraux pour une pleine réalisation de notre identité moderne. La philosophie de Taylor comprend un versant pratique une meilleure compréhension de soi transforme notre vision des choses et élargit, nos capacités d'agir. Ce livre, par la lecture d'ensemble qu'il propose de J'œuvre de Charles Taylor, donne une compréhension substantielle de l'un des philosophes contemporains les plus influents.

The Routledge Handbook of Franz Brentano and the Brentano School
Both through his own work and that of his students, Franz Clemens Brentano (1838–1917) had an often underappreciated influence on the course of twentieth- and twenty-first-century philosophy. The Routledge Handbook of Franz Brentano and the Brentano School offers full coverage of Brentano’s philosophy and his influence. It contains 38 brand-new essays from an international team of experts that offer a comprehensive view of Brentano’s central research areas—philosophy of mind, metaphysics, and value theory—as well as of the principal figures shaped by Brentano’s school of thought. A general introduction serves as an overview of Brentano and the contents of the volume, and three separate bibliographies point students and researchers on to further avenues of inquiry. Systematic and detailed, The Routledge Handbook of Franz Brentano and the Brentano School provides readers with a valuable reference to Brentano’s work and to his lasting importance in the history of philosophy and in contemporary debates.
