Abstract

Jean-Paul Sartre: Mind and Body, Word and Deed celebrates Sartre's polyvalence with an examination of Sartrean philosophy, literature, and politics. In four distinct yet related sections-"Sartre and the Body", "Sartre and Time", "Sartre: Ideology and Politics", and "Sartre in Japan"-twelve scholars from three continents examine Sartre's thought, writing and action over his long career. "Sartre and the Body" reappraises Sartre's work in dialogue with other philosophers past and present, includ...

Abstract

The first half of this text argues that physicalism cannot account for consciousness, and hence cannot be true. The second half explores and defends Russellian monism, a radical alternative to both physicalism and dualism. The view that emerges combines panpsychism with the view that the universe as a whole is fundamental.

Abstract

Comment saisir la vie mentale ? Quel est le rapport de l’esprit au corps ? Deux traditions s’affrontent. D’un côté, l’hexagone. De l’autre, le monde anglo-saxon. D’un côté Descartes. De l’autre, Ryle, Davidson, Putnam, Kim. D’un côté le cogito. De l’autre l’intelligence artificielle ou les théories de l’identité esprit-cerveau. Faux débat, nous dit Pascale Gillot dans ce livre percutant. Outre-Atlantique Descartes est certes critiqué et contesté. Mais l’opposition entre la philosophie classique et la philosophy of mind est à interroger. Il y a des continuités cachées : en mettant en perspective les théories les plus actuelles avec Descartes, mais aussi Spinoza, Leibniz, des héritages se découvrent, des questionnements persistent, de nouvelles interrogations surgissent. Une confrontation stimulante et inédite de deux traditions en dehors des querelles d’école. Une histoire vivante et accessible des débats les plus actuels.

Abstract

Le corps humain a été mis en récit dans la littérature de façons diverses, offrant chaque fois les signes d'une logique corporelle particulière. Deux logiques corporelles sont mises en regard dans cet ouvrage. L'une nous est coutumière : elle organise le corps en fonction de la peau, de ses ouvertures et du rapport interne-externe. C'est le « corps-enveloppe ». L'autre est la logique du « corps articulaire ». Les descriptions de blessures offrent des indices importants : dans l'Iliade, Énée est atteint à la hanche, précisément à la jonction du fémur et de l'os du bassin ; dans Beowulf, le héros disloque l'épaule de Grendel, causant la rupture des tendons ; dans le Lancelot de Chrétien de Troyes, le chevalier est fendu à la jointure du cou et de l'épaule. Autant de précisions qui montrent que le corps a été pensé à certains moments historiques en fonction de ses articulations, lesquelles étaient perçues comme vitales et signifiantes. La logique du corps articulaire fait jouer un rôle primordial à la mobilité et à la sensation du mouvement. Le héros n'est pas seulement le plus rapide, il est celui dont la capacité sensorielle motrice est la plus grande. Le forgeron divin Héphaistos dans l'Iliade et le dieu Hermès, inventeur du feu dans l'Hymne homérique à Hermès, sont capables de créer grâce à une motricité hors normes. Cette façon de penser le corps a ensuite disparu avec l'avènement de la dichotomie corps-âme, mais sa trace reste néanmoins présente dans certains textes fondamentaux de la culture occidentale.

Abstract

In Western civilisation, we have come to regard the body as an instrument or a machine that responds to external challenges but does not have a life or creativity of its own. Author Gabor Csepregi describes in detail the nature and scope of these innate abilities - our sensibility, spontaneity, mimetic faculty, sense of rhythm, memory, and imagination - and reflects on their significance in human life.

Abstract

In this provocative study, Robert Cummins takes on philosophers, both old and new, who pursue the question of mental representation as an abstraction, apart from the constraints of any particular theory or framework. Cummins asserts that mental representation is, in fact, a problem in the philosophy of science, a theoretical assumption that serves different explanatory roles within the different contexts of commonsense or "folk" psychology, orthodox computation, connectionism, or neuroscience.Cummins looks at existing and traditional accounts by Locke, Fodor, Dretske, Millikan, and others of the nature of mental representation and evaluates these accounts within the context of orthodox computational theories of cognition. He proposes that popular accounts of mental representation are inconsistent with the empirical assumptions of these models, which require an account of representation like that involved in mathematical modeling. In the final chapter he considers how mental representation might look in a connectionist context.A Bradford Book.

Abstract

The problem of body and soul has a long history that can be traced back to the beginnings of Greek culture. The existential question of what happened to the soul at the moment of death, whether and in what form there is life after death, and of the exact relationship between body and soul was answered in different ways in Greek philosophy, from the early days to Late Antiquity. The contributions in this volume not only do justice to the breadth of the topic, they also cover the entire period from the Pre-Socratics to Late Antiquity. Particular attention is paid to Plato, Aristotle and Hellenis

Abstract

Many philosophical approaches today seek to overcome the division between mind and body. If such projects succeed, then thinking is not restricted to the disembodied mind, but is in some sense done through the body. From a post-Cartesian perspective, then, ritual activities that discipline the body are not just thoughtless motions, but crucial parts of the way people think.Thinking Through Rituals explores religious ritual acts and their connection to meaning and truth, belief, memory, inquiry, worldview and ethics. Drawing on philosophers such as Foucault, Merleau-Ponty and W
