Ce livre s'intéresse à une rencontre: celle de deux philosophes, mais aussi celle de deux siècles et de deux régimes de pensée. Leibniz (1646-1716) et Diderot (1713-1784) appartiennent à deux traditions en apparence opposées: on associe généralement la pensée leibnizienne aux grands systèmes métaphysiques du XVIIe siècle, et celle de Diderot à la mise en pièces de ces édifices par la voie d'une philosophie expérimentale radicalement...

John J. Stuhr, a leading voice in American philosophy, sets forth a view of pragmatism as a personal work of art or fashion. Stuhr develops his pragmatism by putting pluralism forward, setting aside absolutism and nihilism, opening new perspectives on democracy, and focusing on love. He creates a space for a philosophy that is liable to failure and that is experimental, pluralist, relativist, radically empirical, radically democratic, and absurd....

John Sallis dismantles the traditional conception of nature in this book of imagination and the cosmos. In the thought of Emerson, Hegel, and Schelling, Sallis discerns the seeds of an understanding of nature that goes against the modern technological assault on natural things and opens a space for a revitalized approach to the world.

For students...

Una forma de caracterizar nuestra época desde el psicoanálisis, entre otras posibles, es a partir de la trinidad establecida entre capital, imagen y pulsión. Habitamos una época saturada de imágenes -de personas, partes del cuerpo, objetos, experiencias, modos de vida, etcétera- que consumimos incitados por la pulsión y el mercado; y nos consumen al servicio, en última instancia, de la reproducción ilimitada del capital. En este marco, el...

What is the effect of light as it measures the seasons? How does light leave different traces on the terrain-on a Pacific Island, in the Aegean Sea, high in the Alps, or in the forest?

Sallis writes movingly of nature and the elements, employing an enormous range of philosophical, geographical, and historical...
