The Ethics of Epicurus and Its Relation to Contemporary Doctrines
This is the first English translation of a compelling and highly original reading of Epicurus by Jean-Marie Guyau. This book has long been recognized as one of the best and most concerted attempts to explore one of the most important, yet controversial ancient philosophers whose thought, Guyau claims, remains vital to modern and contemporary culture. Throughout the text we are introduced to the origins of the philosophy of pleasure in Ancient Greece, with Guyau clearly demonstrating how this idea persists through the history of philosophy and how it is an essential trait in the Western tradition. With an introduction by Keith Ansell-Pearson and Federico Testa, which contextualizes the work of Guyau within the canon of French thought, and notes on both further reading and on Epicurean scholarship more generally, this translation also acts as a critical introduction to the philosophy of Guyau and Epicurus.
Jean-Marie Guyau
Longtemps oubliée, la philosophie de la vie de JeanMarie Guyau (1854-1888) fait à nouveau l'objet d'études et de discussions - notamment pour son influence sur des auteurs comme Proust ou Bergson, mais plus encore pour l'originalité et la portée prophétique de sa réflexion. Avant Nietzsche, qui fut d'ailleurs son lecteur, Guyau annonce la fin des grands systèmes, le crépuscule du devoir, l'avènement d'une éthique sans obligation ni sanction ; il appelle de ses voeux un polythéisme des valeurs, et insiste sur les aspects vitaux et créatifs de l'action morale ; il voit dans l'expérience esthétique une stimulation de la vie et (comme le diront certains théoriciens post-modernes)...

In this book, Ágúst Bjarnason provides a detailed analysis and critique of the philosophy of Jean-Marie Guyau, a French philosopher and sociologist of the late 19th century.

Making Spirit Matter
The connection between mind and brain has been one of the most persistent problems in modern Western thought; even recent advances in neuroscience haven’t been able to explain it satisfactorily. Historian Larry Sommer McGrath’s Making Spirit Matter studies how a particularly productive and influential group of nineteenth- and early twentieth-century French thinkers attempted to solve this puzzle by showing the mutual dependence of spirit and matter. The scientific revolution taking place at this point in history across disciplines, from biology to psychology and neurology, located our mental powers in the brain and offered a radical reformulation of the meaning of society, spirit, and the self. Tracing connections among thinkers such as Henri Bergson, Alfred Fouillée, Jean-Marie Guyau, and others, McGrath plots alternative intellectual movements that revived themes of creativity, time, and experience by applying the very sciences that seemed to undermine metaphysics and religion. Making Spirit Matter lays out the long legacy of this moment in the history of ideas and how it might renew our understanding of the relationship between mind and brain today.
