Abstract

Rancière's account of Western philosophical thought from Plato to Bourdieu argues that philosophers depend on an ideal "poor" for their own analyses but preclude them from abstract thought.

Abstract

Most critics of the political evolution of Jean-Paul Sartre have laid emphasis on his allegedly sympathetic and uncritical attitude to Stalinist Communism due, to a large extent, to their equation of Marxism with Stalinism. It is true that Sartre was guilty of many serious misjudgements with regard to the USSR and the French Communist Party. But his relationship with the Marxist Left was much more complex and co tradictory than most accounts admit. This book offers a political defence of Sartre and shows how, from a relatively apolitical stance in the 1930s, Sartre became increasingly involved in the politics of the Left; though he always distrusted Stalinism, he was sometimes driven to ally himself with it because of the force of its argument.

Abstract

Solving the problem of the negative impact of science and technology on society and the environment is indeed the greatest challenge of our time. To date, this challenge has been taken up by few professional philosophers of science, making this volume a welcome contribution to the general debate. Agazzi’s treatment involves viewing modern science and technology as each constituting systems. Against the background of this approach, he provides a penetrating analysis of science, technology and ethics, and their interrelations. Agazzi sees the solution to the problem as lying in the moral sphere and including a multilateral assumption of responsibility on the part of decision makers both within and outside of science.

Abstract

"Les philosophes n'ont fait qu'interpréter diversement le monde, ce qui importe est de le transformer." Ce livre montre comment Marx a bouleversé la pensée philosophique et ainsi inauguré une nouvelle intelligence critique du monde pour sa possible transformation révolutionnaire. Ce troisième tome de "Penser avec Marx aujourd'hui", après "Marx et nous" et "L'homme" ?, expose pour la première fois en son ensemble et de façon approfondie le réseau de catégories - d'essence à subjectivité, de matière à conscience, de possibilité à liberté -, cette "logique du Capital" qui constitue l'essentiel apport philosophique marxien pour penser et pour agir. Puis deux longs chapitres examinent de façon très innovante ce que veut dire à cette lumière penser en matérialiste et penser de façon dialectique.
