Writing the History of the Mind
For much of the twentieth century, French intellectual life was dominated by theoreticians and historians of mentalité. Traditionally, the study of the mind and of its limits and capabilities was the domain of philosophy, however in the first decades of the twentieth century practitioners of the emergent human and social sciences were increasingly competing with philosophers in this field: ethnologists, sociologists, psychologists and historians of science were all claiming to study 'how people think'. Scholars, including Gaston Bachelard, Georges Canguilhem, Léon Brunschvicg, Lucien Lévy-Bruhl, Lucien Febvre, Abel Rey, Alexandre Koyré and Hélène Metzger were all investigating the mind...
Trieste
In Italy, an elderly mother awaits a reunion with the son stolen from her by the Nazis—“A darkly hypnotic kaleidoscope of a book” (The Jewish Daily Forward). Haya Tedeschi sits alone in Gorizia, in northeastern Italy, surrounded by a basket of photographs and newspaper clippings. Now an old woman, she waits to be reunited after sixty-two years with her son, fathered by an SS officer and stolen from her by the German authorities as part of Himmler’s clandestine Lebensborn project. Tedeschi reflects on her Catholicized Jewish family’s experiences, in a narrative that deals unsparingly with the massacre of Italian Jews in the concentration camps of Trieste. Her obsessive search for her son leads her to photographs, maps, and fragments of verse, to testimonies from the Nuremberg trials and interviews with second-generation Jews, and to eyewitness accounts of atrocities that took place on her doorstep. From this broad collage of material and memory arises the staggering chronicle of Nazi occupation in northern Italy that “explores the 20th century’s darkest chapter in an original way . . . an exceptional reading experience” (Minneapolis Star-Tribune).

Mieli Tajunta Tietoisuus
Tässä tutkielmassa purjehditaan maineikkaimpien mielentutkijoiden vanavedessä mielen syville vesille, sen mittaamattomille ulapoille ja kaukaisuudessa siintäville rannoille. Matkaamme tajunnan eri tasoille, syöksymme mielen sykliseen kierteeseen, josta nousemme etsimään aukkoa tietoisuuden aallonmurtajasta. Tulemme saamaan matkallamme vastauksia moniin mieltä askarruttaviin kysymyksiin, mutta jotka samalla nostavat esille paljon uusia kysymyksiä. Eteemme ilmestyy kareja, joita emme tienneet olevan ja väyliä, jotka eivät näytä johtavan mihinkään. Viimekädessä joudumme luottamaan omaan suuntavaistoomme, joka lopulta vie meidät perille mielen, tajunnan ja tietoisuuden alkulähteille.
