Abstract

Over 50 years ago, In Search of a Monetary Constitution, which focused on the need for constraints on the creation of money by the government, was published. Although overlooked at the time, the work's analysis has proven to be remarkably prescient. This new collection of essays, Renewing the Search for a Monetary Constitution: Reforming Government's Role in the Monetary System, commemorates the 50th anniversary of the first edition by revisiting and re-energizing the original intent. Since the publication of the original book, central banks have delivered neither sound money nor real growth

Abstract

Phenomenological Perspectives on Plurality offers twelve essays that discuss how the question of plurality is thought in contemporary continental philosophy. In particular, its essays investigate how this issue influences topics in ontology, aesthetics, and social and political philosophy as well as other fields. In the wake of the critique of metaphysics as onto-theology, the question of plurality has become a central focus of philosophy today. This question does not only give rise to rethink the beginning of metaphysics as well as some of its basic concepts, such as the notion of God, but also influences the contemporary conception of art, identity and community.

Abstract

La laïcité française, loin d’avoir été un simple aménagement technique des rapports entre l’Église et l’État, a longtemps figuré au nombre des principes fondamentaux de la société française : elle visait à asseoir l’ordre politique sur les prescriptions de la raison universelle, à reléguer les appartenances confessionnelles dans la sphère privée et à instituer l’État en conscience rectrice de la communauté des citoyens. Or, depuis quelques années, ce modèle est sévèrement questionné. À la « séparation-neutralité » qu’il impliquait tend à se substituer, sur fond de crise de l’ethos républicain, une « séparation bienveillante » davantage ouverte à la publicisation des allégeances particulières. Cet ouvrage, issu d’un colloque tenu à Rennes à l’automne 1999 sous le patronage de l’Association Française de Science Politique, entend examiner les conditions de cette mutation. Après s’être arrêté sur la signification originelle du système français de laïcité, il s’emploie, d’une part, à décrypter les raisons de son obsolescence et, d’autre part, à analyser les modalités tout à la fois intellectuelles et normatives de sa recomposition. Si la laïcité demeure bien une « valeur d’aujourd’hui », c’est au prix d’une transformation significative de son contenu.

Abstract

Late Antiquity witnessed enormous cultural changes, affecting all areas of intellectual life. Historiography is one of the most characteristic genres of this period and perhaps one of the most innovative ones. This volume seeks to understand how historiography both responded to the cultural changes and shaped these at the same time. Indeed, a historiographical work aims at providing its readers with experiences from the past and at interpreting these in a meaningful way and often seeks to integrate this type of knowledge into a wider body of knowledge. This theme is explored from six angles in the present volume: 1) the relationship between historiography and rhetoric; 2) the transmission of classical rhetorical culture to areas beyond the Roman Empire 3) the circulation of information, traditions and documents in the whole area of the Roman Empire and frontier areas; 4) the role played by intellectual groups (clerical and lay) in this process 5) the social, cultural, and religious variety of audiences; 6) the impact of difference in genre on the engagement with forms of knowledge.

Abstract

Faced with a world that is environmentally out of balance, that is unhealthy in many respects, and that reflects stark inequalities, anthropologists are challenging themselves and others to engage in recovery, renewal, and reclaiming. This volume grapples with these challenges head-on, providing wide-ranging discussions of concrete problems.
