Jean Cavaillès
This poignant biography - by his sister - of the logician and Resistance hero, Jean Cavailles, not only traces the itinerary of an exceptional destiny, it also restores the intellectual climate of a segment of French thought in the 1930s.
On Logic and the Theory of Science
A new translation of the final work of French philosopher Jean Cavaillès. In this short, dense essay, Jean Cavaillès evaluates philosophical efforts to determine the origin—logical or ontological—of scientific thought, arguing that, rather than seeking to found science in original intentional acts, a priori meanings, or foundational logical relations, any adequate theory must involve a history of the concept. Cavaillès insists on a historical epistemology that is conceptual rather than phenomenological, and a logic that is dialectical rather than transcendental. His famous call (cited by Foucault) to abandon "a philosophy of consciousness" for "a philosophy of the concept" was crucial...

Poststructuralism, Philosophy, Pedagogy
This book has been quite long in the making. In its original format, but with some different chapters, and with the then publisher, it foundered (as did other volumes in the planned series). At the in press stage, when we obviously thought it was going ahead, it was suddenly canned. Quite distraught I closed it away in a desk drawer for a year or so. But then Joy Carp of Kluwer Academic Publishers expressed an interest in it, and we were in business again. Most of the contributors to the original volume have stayed with it, only to be delayed by myself, for a variety of reasons (but see the dedication). I had been writing on Michel Foucault for a number of years but had become concerned abou...
Derrida and Husserl
Leonard Lawlor investigates Derrida's writings on Husserl in order to determine Derrida's transformation of the basic problem of phenomenology from genesis to language. To do so, he lays out a narrative of the period during which Derrida devoted himself to formulating and interpretation of Husserl, from approximately 1954 to 1967. On the basis of the narrative, certain well known Derridean concepts are determined (in relation primarily to Husserl's phenomenology): deconstruction, the metaphysics of presence, difference (and Derrida's initial concept of dialectic), the trace, and spectrality.What is the nature of the relationship of Jacques Derrida and deconstruction to Edmund Husserl and phe...

Cavaillès
Le nom de Jean Cavailles evoque pour les uns le heros de la Resistance, le combattant intrepide fusille a 40 ans par les Allemands, pour les autres le philosophe brillant qui a propose une conception neuve de la pensee logique. Cet homme ne fait pourtant qu'un, l'unite de la pensee abstraite et de l'action concrete s'arrimant chez lui dans une meme disposition ethique, disposition a prendre des risques, a vivre le risque - theorique ou pratique - comme la solution exigee par un probleme rationnellement pose. Or ce chemin qui va de la position d'un probleme theorique a l'invention de sa solution, le philosophe Cavailles se demande s'il est necessaire ou contingent. L'apparition de la theorie ...
