Thomas Hill Green (1836-82) was one of the most influential English thinkers of his time, and he made significant contributions to the development of political liberalism. Much of his career was spent at Balliol College, Oxford: having begun as a student of Benjamin Jowett, he later acted effectively as his second-in-command at the college. Interested for his whole career in social questions, Green supported the temperance movement, the extension of the franchise, and the admission of women to university education. He became Whyte's professor of moral philosophy at Oxford in 1878, and his lectures had a lasting influence on a generation of students. Volume 3, published in 1888, contains a memoir by Nettleship, Green's pupil and editor, drawing on Green's recollections, as well as the memories of friends and family. The rest of the volume consists of essays on topics ranging from Aristotle to Christian dogma.

This book contains the selected proceedings of a conference on Religion in German Idealism which took place in Nij- gen (Netherlands) in January 2000. The conference was - ganized by the Centre of German Idealism, which co-or- nates the research on classical German philosophy in the Netherlands and in Belgium. Generous support of the Dutch Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO) has made this conference possible. A few months after the conference Ludwig died, and this circumstance unexpectedly delayed efforts to bring the proceedings of the conference to p- lished form. We are now happy to present those proce- ings, dedicated to the memory of the founding father of the Centre. It was a great joy to work with Ludwig; it was an even greater joy to be reckoned amongst his friends. It was part of Ludwig’s distinctive charisma that he was able to combine friendship together with collaboration in philo- phical and scholarly work. William Desmond Ernst-Otto Onnasch Paul Cruysberghs ix INTRODUCTION WILLIAM DESMOND, ERNST-OTTO ONNASCHand PAUL CRUYSBERGHS 1 The studies in this book testify to the intimate relation of philosophy and religion in German idealism, a relation not also devoid of tensions, and indeed conflicts. Idealism gave expression to a certain affirmation of the autonomy of p- losophical reason, but this autonomy was one that tried to take into account the importance of religion. Sometimes the results of this claim to autonomy moved towards criticism of religion.

Dans Le Neveu de Rameau Diderot oppose un philosophe nommé " Moi " au neveu du grand Rameau, nommé " Lui " . Pourquoi Diderot donne-t-il une telle importance au personnage du neveu, vagabond vivant en parasite aux crochets de riches puissants et vulgaires qui le méprisent et qu'il méprise, dans un face-à-face où le philosophe se trouve incapable de convaincre son antagoniste de changer de mode de vie ? " Lui " est un puissant personnage conceptuel.Il illustre une image troublante de la pensée qui se moque de la pensée, il incarne la coexistence dans la même conscience du sentiment de la dignité avec l'asservissement volontaire. Or cette image dément deux présupposés de la philosophie humaniste et éclairée : le sérieux de la pensée et l'attention qu'elle requiert ; le fondement du désir de liberté dans le sentiment de la dignité. L'ouvrage forge ainsi, face au philosophe, le personnage conceptuel du contre-philosophe.Le contre-philosophe n'est pas un anti-philosophe, il ne défend pas un ordre politique et culturel traditionnel. Il connaît la pensée philosophique, mais il ne l'aime pas. Contre-philosophe est celui qui méprise les vertus éthiques qui doivent accompagner l'exercice de la pensée : la sincérité, la cohérence, l'accord logique avec soi-même. Diderot suggère que cette figure correspond à une époque qui vient, où la valeur de l'argent rendra futiles la préoccupation du vrai et le souci du bien.La tonalité mélancolique du philosophe exprime le sentiment que la philosophie est contre cela impuissante.
