Dans un de ses romans, l’écrivain anglais E.M. Forster recommande de ne pas « acquiescer à la tragédie », c’est-à-dire de ne pas s’accommoder de la douleur au nom de la nécessité. L’auteur de Force, parole, liberté oppose la rupture tragique à la continuité du récit et montre que ces deux points de vue se déduisent d’une conception radicalement opposée du temps. Si la tragédie met en scène rituellement le sacrifice de l’individu afin de restaurer la cohérence collective, transcendant la mortalité singulière en créant une éternité fixe de la souveraineté, l’utopie du récit transmet au singulier un lieu de nulle part en incessante métamorphose. Le tragique revient sur le passé en quête de signes afin de résoudre la crise du moment présent. Le récit projette passé et présent dans son propre au-delà, celui du sujet étreignant le devenir afin de le modeler. Cette manifestation de la force subjective dans la parole fonde la liberté. Goethe parlait, dans le Premier Faust, de la « force de l’homme, par le poète révélée ».

Franz Brentano's impact on the philosophy of his time and on 20th-century philosophy is considerable. The "sharp dialectician" (Freud) and "genial master" (Husserl) influenced philosophers of various allegiances, being acknowledged not only as the "grandfather of phenomenology" (Ryle) but also as an analytic philosopher "in the best sense of this term" (Chisholm). The fourteen new essays gathered together in this volume give an insight in three core issues of Brentano's philosophy: consciousness (sect.1), intentionality (sect. 2) and ontology and metaphysics (sect. 3). Two further sections of the volume deal with the posterity of his philosophy: in section 4, the legacy of his account of sense perception and feeling is discussed, while the history of Brentano's unpublished manuscripts is discussed in section 5. This section also presents an edition of a manuscript from 1899 on relations, along with the letters from Brentano to Marty which discuss this manuscript. The last part of section 5 contains the tekst of a public lecture given by Brentano on the laws of inference. Review: "I warmly recommend this book. It is an excellent work and one whose time has come... This book will help both to reduce Brentano's "invisibility" and advance the much needed rehabilitation of Brentano as one of the great philosophers of the second half of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20thcentury." Grazer Philosophische Studien 92 (2015)
