Abstract

This element shows that most contemporary literature on Wittgenstein's conception of religious belief is misguided and seriously at odds not just with what Wittgenstein says about the subject, but with his entire later philosophy.

Abstract

Pascal a été profondément lié à la vie savante et spirituelle de son siècle et particulièrement à Port-Royal. Cet ouvrage nous entraine à sa suite, dans ses aventures intellectuelles et les intermittences de son coeur. Un nouveau visage de l'immense savant, philosophe et mystique français. On sait Pascal contempteur de la misère de l'homme : il a par-là conquis l'éternité. Mais sait-on à quel point il fut engagé dans son siècle ? L'aventure de l'esprit et du coeur que fut la vie de Pascal est liée aux rencontres qu'il a faites et aux lieux qu'il a fréquentés.Intervenant dans les polémiques scientifiques et spirituels de son siècle, Pascal a conscience d'écrire pour un temps particulièrement troublé. L'art de persuader sera son arme, l'espérance sa motivation. En suivant l'écrivain pas à pas, de sa naissance à Clermont à sa mort à Paris, on perçoit les lignes de force d'une vie prématurément écourtée, mais passionnée d'un bout à l'autre de ses trente-neuf années par la recherche de la vérité : dans la science mathématique et physique comme dans la science du coeur, qu'il sait capable de misère comme de grandeur.C'est un autre visage de Pascal qui pourra nous apparaître : un penseur de la joie et de la grandeur de l'âme humaine ; un honnête homme soucieux de vulgarisation ; un plein vivant, se rendant peu à peu compte que la vie véritable n'est pas celle du monde. Apparait avec lui un moment troublé mais bouillonnant du XVIIe siècle : avant l'absolutisme de Louis XIV, mais en pleine découverte du sujet moderne.Plus qu'un auteur, c'est un homme qu'on découvre.

Abstract

This Element argues that aesthetics broadly conceived plays a significant role in Wittgenstein's philosophy. It traces a continuous line of thought pertaining to a non-conceptual form of encounter with reality and contributes to Wittgenstein's understanding of language and the method of philosophy throughout his career.

Abstract

This book offers a critical update of current Wittgenstein research on the Tractatus logico-philosophicus (TLP) and its relation to the Vienna Circle. The contributions are written by renowned Wittgenstein scholars, on the occasion of the "Wittgenstein Years" 1921/1922 with a special focus on its origin, reception, and interpretation then and now. The main topic is the mutual relation between Wittgenstein and the Vienna Circle (esp. Schlick, Waismann, Carnap, Gödel), but also Russell and Ramsey. In addition, included in this volume are new studies on Wittgenstein's life and work, on the philosophy of the TLP, and on the Wittgenstein family in philosophical and historical context. Furthermore, unpublished documents on Wittgenstein and Waismann from the archives are provided in form of edited and commented primary sources. As per the book series' usual format, a general part of this Yearbook covers a study on Neurath's economy as well as reviews of related publications.

Abstract

Constance of France: Womanhood and Agency in Twelfth-Century Europe is a biography of Constance of France, sister of King Louis VII of France. Myra Bom recovers Constance’s life story and puts it in its medieval context by examining the historical evidence of chronicles, charters, seal imprints and letters. The countess’s long and interesting life makes for women’s history with a large geographical scope, including France, England, Toulouse and the Latin East. It touches on many aspects of life during the Middle Ages such as birth, marriage and divorce, gender roles, experience of time, and expectation for the afterlife. Bom demonstrates how and to what extent medieval women could, and did, take control of their own lives. This book is an account of the interplay of historical context and agency. .
