Abstract

Pendant espagnol de La Rochefoucauld, dans la tradition des moralistes européens, Baltasar Gracián (1601-1658) est surtout connu pour sa réflexion sur les arcanes de la vie mondaine et son élaboration d’un art social de la ruse, dont l’homme politique ou le professionnel d’aujourd’hui peuvent s’inspirer avec profit. Dans ce traité du succès (publié en 1647 et composé de 300 aphorismes), Gracián dévoile tout autant une tactique et des conseils pratiques pour réussir en société que les moyens d’une réalisation personnelle, d’une culture de soi. Il s’adresse ainsi tout autant à l’homme de cour soucieux de briller qu’à l’honnête homme en quête de sagesse.

It would unbalanced to call out a few gems--they're all here. Readers will find the expected heirlooms from Dobzhansky, Haldane, Einstein and Darwin, plus plenty of surprises from Shakespeare to Twain to Frank Lloyd Wright, as well as the inclusion of writers who haven't quite barged into the canon....Here the dross is minimal, and the riches are high-grade ore.” —American Scientist.

Abstract

Jonathan Berg argues for the Theory of Direct Belief, which treats having a belief about an individual as an unmediated relation between the believer and the individual the belief is about. After a critical review of alternative positions, Berg uses Grice's theory of conversational implicature to provide a detailed pragmatic account of substitution failure in belief ascriptions and goes on to defend this view against objections, including those based on an unwarranted ""Inner Speech"" Picture of Thought. The work serves as a case study in pragmatic explanation, dealing also with methodological
