• L'avenir peut-il être objet de connaissance ?

  SENS DU SUJET : l'avenir peut-être l'objet d'une prédilection : procédés magiques ou occultes de divination, intuition subjective,etc...mais parler de connaissance anticipatrice, c'est définir une prévisibilité c'est donc mettre en jeu un calcul,établir un enchaînement causal: n'est connaissable que ce qui est nécessaire. La connaissance du futur suppose la capacité de prévoir les événements qui n'existent pas encore à partir de ceuxqui se sont produits. Demandez-vous ce qui rend possib...

• locke-montesquieu

  I shall leave the question of Montesquieu's influence for another day. My purpose here is to give an account of the argument for religious toleration in the Persian Letters . But before I celebrate the virtues of Montesquieu, I’m afraid I have a few unpleasant things to say about Locke, whose treatment of the subject seems to me to be generally overrated. It’s a common observation that Locke's treatment of toleration is unhappily limited. His subject is "mutual toleration among Christ...

• Charles Dickens.

  The Old Curiosity Shop broke hearts across Britain and North America when it first appeared. Later readers, however, have found it excessively sentimental, especially the pathos surrounding the death of its child-heroine Little Nell. Dickens’s next two works proved less popular with the public. Barnaby Rudge, Dickens’s first historical novel, revolves around anti-Catholic riots that broke out in London in 1780. The events in Martin Chuzzlewit become a vehicle for the novel’s theme: selfishne...

  Pharmacology, too, doubtless had made considerable progress, although the only major direct evidence of this comes from a Sumerian tablet written several centuriesbefore Hammurabi. C Legal System and Writing Law and justice were key concepts in the Babylonian way of life. Justice was administered by the courts, each of which consisted of from one to four judges. Often theelders of a town constituted a tribunal. The judges could not reverse their decisions for any reason, but appeals from their...

• En quel sens l'histoire est-elle une science ?

  • Selon Febvre, ceux qui affirment que faire des hypothèses n'est pas digne de la science, se trompent : en histoire, comme en science, il faut faire des hypothèses. → La science repose sur des hypothèses. Impossible donc de dire que l’histoire n'est pas une science car elle part d'hypothèses puisque même en sciences, importance des hypothèses. • Selon l’École des Annales, fondée dans les 30's, les faits...

  the reaction to the depression that the Republican Party controlled Congress for only 4 of the 48 years between 1932 and 1980. The Republicans did win the presidencyfour times during that period—in 1952, 1956, 1968, and 1972—when the Democratic Party split or when some unusual combination of circumstances occurred. Fromthe 1930s through the 1970s, however, the Democratic Party was the dominant party in the United States. The response of the Republicans to this new situation was confusion, anger,...

They were joined by members of the Liufamily, who were descended from Jingdi (Ching-ti), a former Han emperor, and a civil war followed. As the empire fell into disorder, militant secret societies formedarmed bands and attacked villages and towns.

• Les hommes sont de nature sujets à la superstition selon Spinoza. Expliquez. (Ignorance et superstition)

  un remède souverain contre la calvitie, et l'on traçait une croix sur le ventre de la parturiente en casd'accouchement difficile. La science a démenti de telles croyances. 2) La contingence y règne en maîtresse. La fiente de souris contre la calvitie — et pourquoi pas la crotte dublaireau ? D'ailleurs, les contradictions d'un pays à l'autre rendent manifeste cette contingence : le chat noirest un bon signe en Angleterre, un mauvais signe en France.

• Economics.

  Malthus, nature's check was “positive”: “The power of population is so superior to the power of the earth to produce subsistence for man, that premature death must insome shape or other visit the human race.” The shapes it took included war, epidemics, pestilence and plague, human vices, and famine, all combining to level theworld's population with the world's food supply. The only escape from population pressure and the horrors of the positive check was in voluntary limitation of population, no...

• Excerpt from A Christmas Carol - anthology.

  External heat and cold had little influence on Scrooge. No warmth could warm, no wintry weather chill him. No wind that blew was bitterer than he, no falling snowwas more intent upon its purpose, no pelting rain less open to entreaty. Foul weather didn’t know where to have him. The heaviest rain, and snow, and hail, and sleet,could boast of the advantage over him in only one respect. They often “came down” handsomely and Scrooge never did. Nobody ever stopped him in the street to say, with g...

• National Parks and Preserves.

  Some ibex raised in Italy’s 700 sq km (220 sq mi) Gran Paradiso National Park (1922) were transferred to aid herd restoration elsewhere in the country. Switzerlandreturned lynx to Swiss National Park to keep red deer populations in check. The growth of national parks also enabled many European countries to restore forests thathad given way to industrialization by the early 20th century. Africa’s wildlife was hunted heavily from the late 19th century well into the 20th century. By 1920 big-game h...

Cette homogénéité caractéristique d’une génération se retrouve aussi dans la façon de s’habiller, de se comporter, comme c’est le cas pour les hippies.

In other words, acompound has a definite, invariable composition, always containing the same elements in the same proportions by weight; this is the law of definite proportions. Many elements combine in more than one ratio, giving different compounds. In addition to forming water, hydrogen and oxygen also form hydrogen peroxide.Hydrogen peroxide h...

  evident. That feature is typical of other Old English literature, for almost all of what survives was preserved by monastic copyists. Most of it was actually composed byreligious writers after the early conversion of the people from their faith in the older Germanic divinities. Sacred legend and story were reduced to verse in poems resembling Beowulf in form. At first such verse was rendered in the somewhat simple, stark style of the poems of Caedmon, a humble man of the late 7th century who w...

  LA DURËE DE L'ACTION Aucune précision n'est donnée sur l'année où se déroule l'action. L'insouciance de Meursault pour tout ce qui ne tou­ che pas à son univers personnel soustrait le roman à l'actua­ lité.

  Blankers-Koen's final event was the 4 x 100-meter relay. Her decision to enter the race revealed much about her character. Under Olympic rules, she could enter amaximum of four events. Even though she owned the world records for the long jump and high jump, she instead opted for the relay. She explained that a “team”victory would hold more meaning to her country and its citizens. Blankers-Koen's superb anchor leg clinched Holland's victory. Meanwhile, in the long jump,Hungary's Olga Gyarmati won...
