Les plaisirs et les jours
Nous souhaiterions tous que les plaisirs perdurent et ne s’achèvent jamais. Et pourtant, nous le savons bien, une temporalité propre délimite leur sens, leur valeur et leur fonction dans l’horizon de notre vie. Certains répondent à nos besoins tandis que d’autres nous incitent à les rechercher pour eux-mêmes. Nul ne peut s’empêcher de réfléchir à l’importance et à la signification que nous leur accordons tous les jours ou à des instants précis. Les études présentées ici tentent d’éclairer la nature des plaisirs « esthétiques » en tenant compte de la variété de leur signification et des valeurs que nous sommes prêts à leur accorder. Proposant des avenues d...
Reframing Critical, Literary, and Cultural Theories
This book participates in the ongoing debate about the alleged “death of theory” and the current post-theoretical condition, arguing that the “finitude” of theoretical projects does not mean “end”, but rather contingency and transformation of thinking, beyond irreconcilable doctrines. Contributors from different cultural and scholarly backgrounds and based in three different continents propose new areas of investigation and interpretive possibilities, reopening dialogues with past and present discourses from a plurality of perspectives and locations. After a first section that reassesses the status and scopes of critique, theory, and literature, the book foregrounds new or neglec...
Sandow the Magnificent
Before Arnold Schwarzenegger, Steve Reeves, or Charles Atlas, there was Eugen Sandow, a muscular vaudeville strongman who used his good looks, intelligence, and business savvy to forge a fitness empire. The German-born Sandow (1867-1925) established a worldwide string of gyms, published a popular magazine, sold exercise equipment, and pioneered the use of food supplements. He even marketed a patented health corset for his female followers. Among the colorful figures who played a part in Sandow's life are Bernarr Macfadden, Florenz Ziegfeld, Lillian Russell, and others in sports and the theater. Sandow the Magnificent is the story of this first showman to emphasize physique display rather tha...
Les plaisirs et les jours
Quels sont les sens, les valeurs et les fonctions des plaisirs de nature esthétique ? Les textes réunis dans cet ouvrage proposent des réflexions sur la place du jugement et de l'imagination dans la différenciation des formes de plaisir, sur l'éclaircissement des plaisirs paradoxaux en relation à la réalité et à la fiction, et sur le rôle des plaisirs dans la socialisation des individus.
Historical Dictionary of Hegelian Philosophy
George Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel evoked passionate discipleship, as well as equally passionate opposition. He was praised by the likes of Karl Marx and John Dewey but scorned by Karl Popper and Bertrand Russell. He has been charged with being a proponent of an authoritarian state by some, and he has been accused of instigating the dissolution of the state by others. Notoriously difficult to understand, Hegel's keen insights continue his legacy today. The second edition of the Historical Dictionary of Hegelian Philosophy covers all aspects of Hegel's thought. It discusses his students and colleagues, as well as key figures who either adopted (and adapted) his thought or attempted to explicate it for later generations. This is done through a chronology, an introductory essay, a glossary of German terms, a bibliography, and over 500 cross-referenced dictionary entries.
