Le Moment marxiste de la phénoménologie française: Sartre, Merleau-Ponty, Trần Đức Thảo (Phaenomenologica #231)
by Alexandre FeronEntre la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale et le début des années 1960, certaines des figures majeures du courant phénoménologique en France, Jean-Paul Sartre, Maurice Merleau-Ponty et Trần Đức Thảo, considèrent que le projet d’articuler marxisme et phénoménologie constitue l’un des principaux enjeux de la philosophie dans le monde contemporain. L'objet de cet ouvrage est de comprendre la spécificité du travail philosophique effectué par chacun de ces penseurs sur ces deux courants de pensée apparemment incompatibles afin de rendre possible leur synthèse. L'auteur retrace la manière dont le projet initial de 1944 a été progressivement mis en question et reconfiguré au contact des mutations politiques et historiques, des débats philosophiques et du développement des sciences humaines. Ce volume, qui s’adresse aux étudiants et chercheurs, met ainsi en lumière les enjeux et les innovations conceptuelles de ce qui reste l'un des moments les plus féconds et originaux de la philosophie française contemporaine.This text covers the period between the end of the Second World War and the beginning of the 1960s, when the phenomenological school in France was represented by Jean-Paul Sartre, Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Tran Duc Thao, who endeavored to combine Marxism with phenomenology as the major task of philosophy in the modern world. The object of this text is to understand the specificity of the philosophical work each performed on these two apparently incompatible schools of thought, in order to make their synthesis possible. The author traces the way in which the initial project of 1944 was progressively questioned and reworked in the wake of political and historical change, philosophical debates and the development of human sciences. This volume appeals to students and researchers while bringing to light the underlying stakes and conceptual innovations of what remains one of the most fertile and original moments in contemporary French philosophy.
Life, Re-Scaled: The Biological Imagination in Twenty-First-Century Literature and Performance
by Liliane Campos and Pierre-Louis PatoineThis edited volume explores new engagements with the life sciences in contemporary fiction, poetry, comics and performance. The gathered case studies investigate how recent creative work reframes the human within microscopic or macroscopic scales, from cellular biology to systems ecology, and engages with the ethical, philosophical, and political issues raised by the twenty-first century’s shifting views of life. The collection thus examines literature and performance as spaces that shape our contemporary biological imagination.

Responsive Ethics and Participation: Science, Technology and Democracy
by Kalli Giannelos Bernard Reber Neelke DoornTaking stock of the overall confused picture that research and innovation (R&I) literature and practices offer with regard to citizen and stakeholder participation, this book provides a methodical conceptual and an empirical analysis to determine the connection between ethics and participation. Strong theoretical pillars in the fields of ethics, politics and responsible research and innovation (RRI) form the backbone of this critical approach to participation, which considers new approaches to democratic participation. Taking into account a number of participatory processes, Responsive Ethics and Participation establishes a new methodology to differentiate, classify and understand the added value of the participation of citizens and stakeholders in R&I.Participation could be considered the epitome of innovation ethics. However, its multidimensionality, its ethical and theoretical grounds and the nature of the involvement and related outcomes must be clarified at the outset, in order to reach active forms of participation. Ethical participation is required for reliable developments in science and technology, which is what this book ultimately demonstrates.

Théorie spectrale et mécanique quantique (Mathématiques et Applications #87)
by Mathieu LewinCe livre présente la théorie spectrale des opérateurs auto-adjoints en dimension infinie ainsi que son application à la mécanique quantique. Le concept d'auto-adjonction, découvert par John von Neumann dans les années 1930, est bien plus subtil dans ce cadre que pour les matrices hermitiennes en dimension finie. Cet ouvrage peut aussi servir d’introduction mathématique à la mécanique quantique. De multiples exemples physiques servent ainsi à illustrer et motiver les théorèmes plus abstraits. Les deux derniers chapitres présentent des résultats plus récents concernant l'équation de Schrödinger pour les atomes, les molécules et les solides. Aucune connaissance physique n'est cependant requise pour lire ces pages. Premier livre en français sur le sujet destiné aux étudiants de Master, ce livre pourra accompagner un cours à ce niveau. Il devrait aussi être utile aux lecteurs plus avancés désirant en savoir plus sur cette théorie. *** This book presents the spectral theory of self-adjoint operators on Hilbert space, with applications to quantum mechanics. The concept of self-adjointness in infinite dimension was discovered by John von Neumann in the 1930s and it is much more involved than in the case of Hermitian matrices in finite dimension. The book also provides an introduction to quantum mechanics, suitable for students with a mathematics background. The presentation provides numerous physical examples illustrating the abstract theory. The last two chapters present recent results on Schrödinger’s equation for systems of particles. No previous knowledge of physics is required for the book.Based on the author’s teaching and intended for graduate courses, this French language textbook can also serve as a useful introduction to the topic for more advanced readers.
The Time of the Landscape: On the Origins of the Aesthetic Revolution
by Jacques RanciereThe time of the landscape is not the time when people started describing gardens, mountains and lakes in poems or representing them in works of art: it is the time when the landscape imposed itself as a specific object of thought. It is the time when both the harmony of arranged gardens and the disharmony of wild nature led to a revolution in the criteria of the beautiful and in the meaning of the word &“art.&” It coincided with the birth of aesthetics, understood as a regime for shaping how art is seen and thought, and also with the French Revolution, understood as a revolution in the very idea of what binds together a human community. The time of the landscape is the time when the conjunction of these two upheavals brought into focus, however hazily, a common horizon: that of a revolution that no longer concerns only the laws of the state or the norms of art, but the very forms of sensible experience. This brilliant and wide-ranging book will be of interest to students and scholars in philosophy, literature, the visual arts, and the humanities generally, and to anyone interested in critical theory and philosophy.

When Form Becomes Substance: Power of Gestures, Diagrammatical Intuition and Phenomenology of Space
by Luciano Boi Carlos LoboThis interdisciplinary volume collects contributions from experts in their respective fields with as common theme diagrams.Diagrams play a fundamental role in the mathematical visualization and philosophical analysis of forms in space. Some of the most interesting and profound recent developments in contemporary sciences, whether in topology, geometry, dynamic systems theory, quantum field theory or string theory, have been made possible by the introduction of new types of diagrams, which, in addition to their essential role in the discovery of new classes of spaces and phenomena, have contributed to enriching and clarifying the meaning of the operations, structures and properties that are at the heart of these spaces and phenomena.The volume gives a closer look at the scope and the nature of diagrams as constituents of mathematical and physical thought, their function in contemporary artistic work, and appraise, in particular, the actual importance of the diagrams of knots, of braids, of fields, of interaction, of strings in topology and geometry, in quantum physics and in cosmology, but also in theory of perception, in plastic arts and in philosophy. The editors carefully curated this volume to be an inspiration to students and researchers in philosophy, phenomenology, mathematics and the sciences, as well as artists, musicians and the general interested audience.
