Philosopher ou l'art de clouer le bec aux femmes
Par Frédéric Pagès. 2006

philosophe méconnu de tradition orale, Jean-Baptiste Botul. À balayer toute l'histoire de la philosophie, on les compte sur les doigts des deux mains? Philosopher serait-il une activité exclusivement masculine ? Serait-ce l'art de clouer le bec aux femmes ? Comme l'ont voulu Schopenhauer et Nietzsche ? Frédéric Pagès revisite l'épineuse question.Plato and Aristotle: the genesis of Western thought (The modern scholar)
Par Louis Aryeh Kosman. 2003
Haverford College professor Aryeh Kosman delivers a course that will investigate the philosophical texts of Plato and Aristotle. Far from…
simply making a list of their ideas, however, in each lecture we will focus on thinking through the premises they put forth. In the end, our goal will be to arrive at a solid understanding of the thought revolution provoked by the ideas of Plato and Aristotle and how their legacies continue to influence us to this very day. 2003.Plato and a platypus walk into a bar: understanding philosophy through jokes
Par Thomas Cathcart, Daniel M Klein. 2007
The great philosopher Aristotle once said "Humour is the only test of gravity, for a subject which will not bear…
raillery is suspicious." Taking this tenet to task, Cathart and Klein tackle all the major philosophical perspectives - ancient and postmodern alike - and make them universally accessible through hilarious jokes that cut straight to the core of the principle. 2007.Planet Google: one company's audacious plan to organize everything we know
Par Randall E Stross. 2008
The business world has been desperate to learn what Google's plans for the future are, because they know that Google…
is the arbiter of the future of the web. Stross reveals the scope of the plan, including such potentially disruptive initiatives as free downloadable software, which could put providers like Microsoft out of business, and GoogleEarth and GoogleMaps satellite technology, which is rapidly mapping the entire surface of the Earth in high-powered detail. 2008.Plato's Sophist (Studies In Continental Thought Ser.)
Par Martin Heidegger, Richard Rojcewicz, André Schuwer. 2003
Philosopher sans le savoir!: la philosophie des expressions du quotidien
Par Laurent Neveu-Marques. 2014
" Dans nos manières de dire les choses, souvent devenues des lieux communs, se trouve de la philosophie. Lorsque nous…
en usons, nous philosophons ainsi sans le savoir. Il s'agit d'établir ces liens inaperçus. Pourquoi disons-nous PASSER LE TEMPS alors que c'est le temps qui passe ? Pourquoi travailler, est-ce GAGNER SA VIE ? Que diable allons-nous LIRE ENTRE LES LIGNES où rien n'est écrit ? Chaque chapitre apporte ainsi un éclairage philosophique sur une expression usuelle qui, en retour, éclaire la philosophie, mise ainsi à portée de tous. Tel est le pari de cet ouvrage qui vise à rendre la philosophie accessible à tout le monde. La diversité des problématiques qu'il déploie sera particulièrement utile aux leçons et dissertations des étudiants de tous niveaux. Les lecteurs plus spécialisés apprécieront peut-être quant à eux, la simplicité d'une rencontre dans un lieu plus commun. " -- 4e de couv.Philosophy of right (Great books in philosophy)

La "pauvreté" vous rendra libres!: essai sur la vie simple et son urgente actualité ((Défis d'aujourd'hui).)
Par Dominique Boisvert. 2016
" Qui désire vraiment être pauvre? Si pauvreté rime avec misère, alors personne, sans doute... Pourtant, à y regarder de…
plus près, la pauvreté bien comprise suscite une plus grande liberté, à la fois matérielle et spirituelle, chez la personne qui la choisit en toute conscience. Dans un essai court et percutant, rédigé dans le souci de rejoindre tant les chrétiens que les non-croyants, Dominique Boisvert démontre de manière magistrale que tant la simplicité volontaire que l'idéal de pauvreté évangélique constituent, paradoxalement, des ressources incomparables d'enrichissement personnel et de bonheur. " -- 4e de couv.The advances that have transformed cosmology have forced scientists to rethink our understanding of the birth of the universe and…
its ultimate fate. Theoretical physicists now overwhelmingly support string theory and its latest iteration, M-theory, as it is the one theory that, if proven correct, would reconcile the four forces of the universe, and answer the question "What happened before the big bang?" 2005.Par 4 chemins
Par Jacques Languirand. 1990
Au moment où s'impose à nous la convergence des races, des peuples, des cultures, il ne fait pas de doute…
que la redécouverte des autres représente, pour la suite du monde, la prochaine étape de notre évolution. D'où le titre de cet essai: "La voie c'est... les autres!" 1990.Out of the shadow of a giant: Hooke, Halley and the birth of British science
Par John Gribbin, Mary Gribbin. 2017
What if Newton had never lived? Robert Hooke and Edmond Halley, whose place in history has been overshadowed by the…
giant figure of Newton, were pioneering scientists within their own right, and instrumental in establishing the Royal Society. Although Newton is widely regarded as one of the greatest scientists of all time and the father of the English scientific revolution, the authors uncover the fascinating story of Robert Hooke and Edmond Halley, whose scientific achievements neatly embrace the hundred years or so during which science as we know it became established. They argue persuasively that, even without Newton, science would have made a great leap forward in the second half of the seventeenth century, headed by two extraordinary figures, Hooke and Halley. 2017.Our robots, ourselves: robotics and the myths of autonomy
Par David A Mindell. 2015
From drones to Mars rovers -- an exploration of the most innovative use of robots today and a provocative argument…
for the crucial role of humans in our increasingly technological future. Offers a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at the cutting edge of robotics today, debunking commonly held myths and exploring the rapidly changing relationships between humans and machines. Drawing on firsthand experience, extensive interviews, and the latest research from MIT and elsewhere, Mindell takes us to extreme environments -- high atmosphere, deep ocean, and outer space -- to reveal where the most advanced robotics already exist, and argues that the stark lines we've drawn between human and not human, manual and automated, aren't helpful for understanding our relationship with robotics. 2015.Panopticon; or, The Inspection-House
