L' Héritage occidental
La Grèce, Rome et le christianisme constituent les fondements sur lesquels s'est bâti l'Occident. Les Grecs ont légué l'esprit critique, l'éthique et le sens de l'histoire ; Rome a laissé le droit, la rhétorique, le latin et une nostalgie d'Empire ; le christianisme, issu du monothéisme juif, imprègne l'Occident jusqu'à la Réforme et au-delà. Cette anthologie retrace, avec ses ombres, les cheminements d'un héritage dont l'aboutissement est la démocratie, l'État de droit et les droits de l'homme." J'aime et j'admire cette anthologie sans précédent. Elle montre la diversité d'une genèse de l'Occident qui, d'une diversité parfois conflictuelle, a su faire une synthèse plurielle et dynamique. " Jacques Le Goff " On découvre dans ce bel ouvrage la prodigieuse histoire de la constitution du patrimoine culturel de la pensée occidentale.

100 Years of Modern Territorial Autonomy - Autonomy around the World
An unclouded look at territorial autonomy back and forward, 100 years after the establishment of the first "modern" territorial autonomy in a democratic state: the Åland Islands in Finland in 1921/22. Where has autonomy been successful to ensure minority protection and self-government, where has it failed, where is it in crisis, where is it aspired to? In which cases would autonomy settle open conflicts between states and regional communities, and in which cases of national emancipation is autonomy no longer sufficient? In 2021, after 100 years of experience with territorial autonomy in all parts of the world, this concept for solving sub-state conflicts is still underestimated. Background ...
Giordano Bruno and the Logic of Coincidence
Burned at the stake for heresy, Giordano Bruno (1548-1600) was one of the Renaissance's more controversial thinkers. Current scholarship tends to read Bruno as either a Neo-Platonist who ultimately collapses reality to an overarching unity, or as an eclectic thinker whose disparate and disjointed musings are essentially incoherent. By closely and critically examining Bruno's writings this book demonstrates that Bruno was very much in the spirit of Modernity in that he tried to explain philosophically the possibility of the coexistence of unity and multiplicity (difference) through the «then-scientific» logic of the coincidence of opposites. His metaphysics, cosmology and ethical thinking are to be understood through this underlying logic of coincidence, thereby rendering Bruno neither an absolute Neo-Platonist nor unintelligible.

In Defence of Atheism
In the twenty-first century, religion is making a comeback, bringing in its wake extremism of all kinds. From Christian anti-abortion campaigns to suicide bombers claiming the righteousness of Islam, we are witnessing a resurgence of fundamentalism. Michel Onfray's response to the threat of a post-modern theocracy is to lay down the principles of an authentic atheism: exposing the fiction that is God, he proposes instead a new philosophy of reason that celebrates life and humanity. In Defence of Atheism demonstrates that organised religion is motivated by worldly, historical and political power; that the three dominant monotheisms ? Christianity, Islam and Judaism ? exhibit the same hatred o...
