Abstract

"Contemporary Debates in Philosophy of Biology brings together original essays on some of the most hotly debated questions in this lively and fast-moving field. Each of the ten sections introduces a specific issue within philosophy of biology and offers suggestions for further reading. Pairs of newly commissioned essays by leading scholars discuss the central questions in an engaging head-to-head debate. Together, the essays provide an accessible introduction to philosophy of biology, and a springboard to further discussion. Showcasing original arguments for well-defined positions, as well as clear and concise statements of sophisticated philosophical views, this volume is an excellent resource for professional philosophers, biologists, and students alike"--Jacket.

Abstract

Beginning with Kant and the earliest responses to his critical philosophy and ending with the latest developments in continental thinking across a range of disciplines, these volumes present the first coherent and comprehensive history of the continental tradition of philosophy. Divided, chronologically and thematically, into eight volumes, the "History of Continental Philosophy" is an indispensable resource for anyone conducting research or teaching in philosophy and related fields inthe humanities and social sciences where the influence of continental theory has been widespread. Alan Schrift has brought together an internationally renowned team of volume editors and contributors to provide an unrivalled analysis of the complex and interconnected history of continental philosophy that will become a reference point for all future work in the field.

Abstract

La problématologie est une philosophie nouvelle. Centrée sur le rôle fondateur du questionnement, elle est aussi profondément contemporaine, dans un monde où tout, ou presque, est devenu problématique et susceptible de se voir remis en question. De la métaphysique à l'art, de la littérature à la science de la morale à l'étude du raisonnement quotidien, rien n'échappe aux lois de l'interrogation. Mais ces lois, quelles sont-elles ? Et surtout, quelle unité de la pensée et de la raison se dégage d'une approche désormais enracinée autant dans les questions que l'on pose que dans les réponses que I'on propose ? Tel est l'enjeu qui traverse la problématologie.

Abstract

Dénoncer les relations de pouvoirs occultes, provoquer des résistances, permettre aux voix trop souvent étouffées de s'exprimer, produire des savoirs vrais qui puissent s'opposer aux gouvernementalités dominantes, défier nos libertés et nos possibilités d'action, faire surgir l'historicité de nos systèmes de savoir, de pouvoir et de subjectivation, montrer que rien en nous n'est fatalité, en définitive changer nos vies : telle est la tâche du philosophe selon Michel Foucault. À partir de l'analyse de ses œuvres, cet ouvrage nous montre comment la philosophie de Foucault s'élabore dans des récits - histoires de la folie exclue, de l'accueil de la mort, des systèmes de pensée, des prisons, des guerres ou encore de l'aveu ou des plaisirs - qui, s'ils ne recherchent plus des significations ultimes, nous permettent de nous inventer à nouveau.

Abstract

Nous sommes des êtres fragiles. La fragilité est inscrite dans nos gènes. Par la con­frontation de notre propre indigence avec les exigences de plus en plus dures de la vie sociale, ce sentiment de fragilité dégénère souvent en tristesse, mal-être, peur de la vie. Beaucoup de nos contemporains se résignent à cette morosité. Mais ne sommes-nous pas créés pour être heureux, même dans notre vulnérabilité ? Bien plus : n’est-ce pas de notre faiblesse et de nos blessures mêmes que peut naître une nouvelle vie — pour nous-mêmes et pour les autres ? Pendant de longues années, le cardinal Godfried Danneels et Iny Driessen ont réfléchi et travaillé à ce livre, à partir de la conscience de leur propre fragilité et de l’accompagnement commun de personnes souffrantes. Ils ont pu être témoins d’une force de résurrection qui permet de sourire à nouveau à la vie. Leur foi en un Dieu qui veut que l’homme vive, qui s’est fait notre Frère en fragilité dans le Christ et qui nous reste proche dans son Esprit, est la force motrice qui opérait derrière leurs mots. Voici un livre vulnérable, aussi vulnérable que vous et moi.

Abstract

Statistics are everywhere. Their power and their undoubted efficacy in many areas have given rise to faith in measurement and metrics. More of them will tell us all that we need to know. Their use carries with it a number of presuppositions: that reality can be satisfactorily represented and that it can be controlled or the risks managed. The papers in this book interpret the ethics and aesthetics of statistics in terms of representation, visualisation and accessibility, focus on the appeal of ‘simplicity’, of technical languages, numbers, diagrams and pictures, and pay attention to their connection with action plans. The book explores what has made educational researchers dependent on statistics, and deals with their use in areas such as the prevalence of maltreatment of children, European citizenship, well-being and happiness, illegal migrants, and university expansion. There is discussion of how the quest for more and better statistics finds its voice in policy initiatives that become slogans, and how public opinion polls are used to rationalise political decision-making. Can a more limited and modest use be made of statistics which does not deflect attention away from education’s core business and which does not destroy the local practical knowledge that on which good education is based? ‘Smeyers and Depaepe continue to bring together a significant international group of educational philosophers and historians on topics of importance to researchers. This fifth volume in their series takes up the ‘gold standard’ use of statistics in case studies not contributed elsewhere. I highly recommend this text to counter a current over-emphasis on technique in research methodology. Use of statistics remains but herein under new, insightful conceptualizations.’ Lynda Stone, Philosophy of Education, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA ‘Once again, Depaepe and Smeyers succeeded in bringing together distinguished international and cross-disciplinary scholars exploring very timely and critical issues in current educational research. This is a groundbreaking book on a theme that can’t be ignored by educational researchers and those interested in a better understanding of the culture of science and science as culture. Moreover, the present book instigates to study history of educational research, a limited but developing field, and invites reflection to those who are sometimes too reliant on number crunching as a mode of interpretation and rather credulous in the acceptance of institutional records.
