Doing what You Really Want
For more than two thousand years, the writings of the Confucian philosopher Mengzi have been a source of guidance and inspiration for those set on doing something to improve the state of the world. In Doing What You Really Want, Franklin Perkins presents a coherent, systematic, and accessible explanation of Mengzi's philosophy. He covers everything from the place of human beings in nature, to human psychology and philosophy of emotions, to the various ways in which we can deliberately change and cultivate ourselves. Mengzi was concerned not just with theory but also effective action. Perkins thus includes a collection of practical advice and a Confucian analysis of politics oriented toward h...
Documentation and Argument in Early China
This study uncovers the traditions behind the formative Classic Shàngshū (Venerated Documents). It is the first to establish these traditions—“Shū” (Documents)—as a historically evolving practice of thought-production. By focusing on the literary form of the argument, it interprets the “Shū” as fluid text material that embodies the ever-changing cultural capital of projected conceptual communities. By showing how these communities actualised the “Shū” according to their changing visions of history and evolving group interests, the study establishes that by the Warring States period (ca. 453–221 BC) the “Shū” had become a literary genre employed by diverse groups to legitimize their own arguments. Through forms of textual performance, the “Shū” gave even peripheral communities the means to participate in political discourse by conferring their ideas with ancient authority. Analysing this dynamic environment of socio-political and philosophical change, this study speaks to the Early China field, as well as to those interested in meaning production and foundational text formation more widely.
Farewell to Visual Studies
Each of the five volumes in the Stone Art Theory Institutes series brings together a range of scholars who are not always directly familiar with one another’s work. The outcome of each of these convergences is an extensive and “unpredictable conversation” on knotty and provocative issues about art. This fifth and final volume in the series focuses on the identity, nature, and future of visual studies, discussing critical questions about its history, objects, and methods. The contributors question the canon of literature of visual studies and the place of visual studies with relation to theories of vision, visuality, epistemology, politics, and art history, giving voice to a variety of ...

Les voitures vides
Cet hiver, sur les routes de la Beauce, des voitures sont retrouvées. Vides. Leurs conductrices évaporées dans la nature. Personne n'a jamais vu le prédateur qui guette les femmes seules à l'aube et au crépuscule. Nul ne sait non plus quel sort il réserve à ses victimes. Et son territoire de chasse est vaste : une plaine qui s'étend sur plusieurs départements, des labours à perte de vue. Dans cet océan d'incertitudes, on devine seulement que le " Tueur de la Beauce ", comme l'ont surnommé les journaux, est un monstre calculateur, prudent et patient. Mais pour sortir la bête de sa tanière, le commissaire Lediacre dispose d'un appât de choc : sa jeune adjointe, le capitaine Hélène Vermeulen. Et la patience de Lediacre est infinie...
