• L'ÉPISTÉMOLOGIE EN FRANCE

  no LA l'H!U!SOPHIE Il çaise d'un des premiers ouvrages de Bertrand Russell, Essai sur les fondements de la géométrie (1897, trad. fr. 1901) que le vocable d'épistémologie s'introduit dans notre langue philosophique. Il est assez patent que ces transferts d'une langue à une autre, mais aussi d'un horizon conceptuel à un autre, ne laissent pas invariant ce qui est désigné dans les différents emplois du mot. Et si depuis Meyerso...

• Habitude: liberté ou aliénation ?

  CAMBODGE 73 DÉVELOPPEMENT On entend souvent par habitude la répétition spon­ tanée et machinale d'un geste ou d'une conduite ; machi­ nale, autrement dit plus ou moins inconsciente, se réali­ sant en nous mais malgré nous. Le sens commun donne volontiers à l'habitude le caractère d'une« seconde nature n, et tantôt il lui reproche sa force contraignante, qui fait de l'homme un véritable esclave, tantôt il la loue des services qu'el...

• FREUD : LA THÉORIE FREUDIENNE DE LA CULTURE

  12 LA PHILOSOPHIE IV de la psychose. Ainsi la voie sera-t-elle ouverte pour un approfondissement de la théorie des pulsions, destiné à sceller dans le registre du développement humain l'élabo­ ration génétique de la pulsion individuelle. Et le problème de la fin de l'analyse, dans la double acception de son terme et de sa finalité, trouvera par là sa solution. Car les formations névrotiques accessibles à la régression transférentie...

De mémorables interventions de Burke (discours sur la taxation des Américains, 1774; discours sur la conciliation avec l'Amérique, 1775), au cours du combat par lui livré pour empêcher la sécession des treize colonies, avait mis le sceau à sa réputation. Réputation d'indomptable libéral, de magnifique, puissant et somptueux orateur politique. Mais ensuite, Burke,...

  Les temps de l'aurore 61 L'expérience temporelle atteste un étonnant pouvoir du sujet qui la vit et en fixe le cadre intérieur. L'expérience de la temporalité est d'abord très subjective.

  the evils of slavery from sketches like these, is not the half that could be told, of the unspeakable whole. In the northern states, these representations may, perhaps, be thought caricatures; in the southern states are witnesses who know their fidelity. What personalknowledge the author has had, of the truth of incidents such as here are related, will appear in its time. It is a comfort to hope, as so many of the world's sorrows and wrongs have, from age to age, been lived down, so a ti...

  Halloween traditions in southern colonies such as Virginia and Maryland. Irish immigrants helped popularize Halloween traditions throughout the United States in themid-19th century.

• From A Vindication of the Rights of Woman - anthology.

  Ignorance is a frail base for virtue! Yet, that it is the condition for which woman was organized, has been insisted upon by the writers who have most vehementlyargued in favour of the superiority of man; a superiority not in degree, but essence; though, to soften the argument, they have laboured to prove, with chivalrousgenerosity, that the sexes ought not to be compared; man was made to reason, woman to feel: and that together, flesh and spirit, they make the most perfect whole, byblending hap...

Hearing the oars, Polyphemus shouted after them, so that the shores resounded, and at the noise the other Cyclopses came forth from their caves andwoods and lined the shore, like a row of lofty pine trees. The Trojans plied their oars and soon left them out of sight. Æneas had been cautioned by Helenus to avoid the strait guarded by the monsters Scylla and Charybdis. There Ulysses, the reader will remember, had lost six of hismen, seized by Scylla while the navigators were wh...

• John Milton.

  Paradise Lost is considered Milton’s masterpiece and one of the greatest poems in world literature. It is written in 12 books that vividly tell the story of Satan’s rebellion against God and his tempting of Adam and Eve to eat the forbidden fruit of the tree of knowledge. The poet’s announced aim was to “justify the ways of God to men,”although Satan holds center stage in the first four books and for many readers emerges as the most interesting figure in the poem. But Satan’s heroism, which isg...

  As in a dream. Dimly I could descryThe stern black-bearded kings, with wolfish eyes,Waiting to see me die. 'The tall masts quivered as they lay afloat,The temples and the people and the shore;One drew a sharp knife through my tender throatSlowly,—and—nothing more.' The wind now proving fair the fleet made sail and brought the forces to the coast of Troy. The Trojans came to oppose their landing, and at the first onset Protesilaus[mythological king of Phylace, in Thessaly] fell by the hand of...

• William Blake I INTRODUCTION William Blake (1757-1827), English poet, painter, and engraver, who created an unusual form of illustrated verse; his poetry, inspired by mystical vision, is among the most original, lyric, and prophetic in the language.

  Your spring & your day are wasted in play,And your winter and night in disguise. Both series of poems take on deeper resonances when read in conjunction. Innocence and Experience, “the two contrary states of the human soul,” are contrasted insuch companion pieces as “The Lamb” and “The Tyger.” Blake’s subsequent poetry develops the implication that true innocence is impossible without experience,transformed by the creative force of the human imagination. III BLAKE AS ARTIST The LambThe Lamb...

  myth that the painting was rejected by those who commissioned it, and led to a decline in Rembrandt's reputation and fortune, it was actually well received. Many of Rembrandt's landscapes in this middle period are romantic and based on his imagination rather than recording specific places. The inclusion of ancient ruins androlling hills, not a part of the flat Dutch countryside, as in River Valley with Ruins (Staatliche Gemäldegalerie, Kassel), suggests a classical influence derived from Italy...
