Phénoménologie transcendantale: Figures du transcendantal de Kant à Heidegger (Phaenomenologica #232)
by Paul SlamaThis book presents the history of metaphysics through transcendental phenomenology and interpretations of Kant, Fichte, Cohen, Windelband, Rickert, Husserl, Scheler, and Heidegger. Slama introduces the "praxiologico-transcendental" figure where transcendental knowledge opens up a "praxiological" life of subjectivity for whom reality becomes a continual practical problem. In so doing, this book also establishes the principles of a "praxiological" thinking of perception, starting from the conceptuality of the “tool”, which is grounded in the praxiologico-transcendantal. Thus, the author presents and argues for this unitary figure of transcendental philosophy as a crucial figure of metaphysics. This book appeals to students and researchers working in phenomenology and metaphysics. Ce livre propose une histoire de la métaphysique à partir de la figure de Kant, et avec la phénoménologie transcendantale comme centre. À partir d'une lecture précise d'auteurs centraux de la tradition transcendantale (Kant, Fichte, Cohen, Windelband, Rickert, Husserl, Scheler, Heidegger), il fait l'hypothèse d'une figure "praxiologico-transcendantale" où la connaissance transcendantale ouvre une vie "praxiologique" de la subjectivité, qui se trouve ainsi frottée au réel qui devient un incessant problème pratique pour lui. Ce faisant, ce livre établit les principes d'une pensée de la perception "praxiologique", à partir de la conceptualité de l' « outil ». Il s'agit in fine de donner une figure unitaire de la philosophie transcendantale dans son ensemble, comme moment crucial dans l'histoire de la métaphysique.
'The Philosophes' by Charles Palissot
by Jessica GoodmanIn 1760, the French playwright Charles Palissot de Montenoy wrote Les Philosophes – a scandalous farcical comedy about a group of opportunistic self-styled philosophers. Les Philosophes emerged in the charged historical context of the pamphlet wars surrounding the publication of Diderot and d’Alembert’s Encyclopédie, and delivered an oblique but acerbic criticism of the intellectuals of the eighteenth-century Enlightenment, including the likes of Diderot and Rousseau. This book presents the first high-quality English translation of the play, including critical apparatus. The translation is based on Olivier Ferret’s edition, and renders the text into iambic pentameter to preserve the character of the original. Adaptations are further provided of Ferret’s introduction and notes. This masterful and highly accessible translation of Les Philosophes opens up this polemical text to a non-specialist audience. It will be a valuable resource to non-Francophone scholars and students working on the philosophical exchanges of the Enlightenment. Moreover, this translation – the result of a year-long project undertaken by Jessica Goodman with six of her undergraduate French students – expounds the value of collaboration between scholar and student, and, as such, provides a model for other language tutors embarking on translation projects with their students.

Rechtsweggarantie im vergleichenden Verwaltungsrecht: Wechselseitige Einflüsse zwischen Rechtsordnungen am Beispiel des Zugangs zum Gericht gegen das Handeln der Exekutive im deutschen, französischen, europäischen und internationalen Recht – Influences mutuelles entre ordres juridiques à l’exemple du droit d’accès au juge contre les actes du pouvoir exécutif en droits allemand, français, européen et international (Beiträge zum ausländischen öffentlichen Recht und Völkerrecht #295)
by Layla Kristina Jaber Stefanie Lüer Anne-Marie Thévenot-WernerDieses Buch befasst sich mit aktuellen Fragen des Zugangs zu nationalen und internationalen Gerichten im Verwaltungsrecht aus einem rechtsvergleichenden Blickwinkel. Der diesem Buch zugrundeliegende Ansatz ist das Zusammenführen der deutschen, französischen und unionsrechtlichen oder völkerrechtlichen Sicht auf ausgewählte Themenbereiche, in denen der Gerichtszugang gewissen Besonderheiten unterliegt. Dabei handelt es sich um den Zugang zum Gericht von Umweltschutzvereinigungen, in Asylrechtsstreitigkeiten, im Vergaberecht, von Beschäftigten und Vertragspartnern internationaler Organisationen und von Betroffenen außerhalb internationaler Organisationen. Wissenschaftler und Praktiker arbeiten die wechselseitigen Einwirkungen heraus, und behandeln Top-Down-Prozesse, Bottom-Up-Prozesse und horizontale Prozesse in deutsch- und französischsprachigen Kapiteln. Abschließend wird aufgezeigt, ob und wie es zu einer Annäherung des deutschen, französischen, europäischen und internationalen Rechts kommen kann.
Testing Knowledge: Toward an Ecology of Diagnosis, Preceded by the Dingdingdong Manifesto
by Katrin Solhdju Alice RivièresThis volume presents the collective adventure of Dingdingdong, the Institute for the Co-production of Knowledge about Huntington’s Disease, founded in 2012 between Paris and Brussels. Katrin Solhdju’s Testing Knowledge: Toward an Ecology of Diagnosis pursues the question of taming the violence of the new species of medical foreknowledge represented by genetic testing. Adopting historical and epistemological perspectives on diagnostic situations, including observations from anthropological field research, speculative storytelling, and ancient oracles, Testing Knowledge proposes a new ecology of predictive diagnostic gestures, which potentially concern us all. Testing Knowledge is preceded by the Dingdingdong collective’s Manifesto (2013), which tells the story of the young Alice Rivières, who in 2006 took the presymptomatic, genetic test, foretelling her that she will eventually develop Huntington’s. Her first-person account of the revelation of her test results, which she experienced as an act of poisoning or cursing, pulls the reader into the manifold ethical, psychological, and existential issues inherent to medical predictions. Testing Knowledge is also preceded by a foreword from Alice Wexler, author of Mapping Fate: A Memoir of Family, Risk, and Genetic Research, and is followed by an afterword by philosopher Isabelle Stengers.
A Feminist Theory of Violence: A Decolonial Perspective
by Françoise Vergès'A robust, decolonial challenge to carceral feminism' - Angela Y. Davis ***Winner of an English PEN Award 2022*** The mainstream conversation surrounding gender equality is a repertoire of violence: harassment, rape, abuse, femicide. These words suggest a cruel reality. But they also hide another reality: that of gendered violence committed with the complicity of the State. In this book, Françoise Vergès denounces the carceral turn in the fight against sexism. By focusing on 'violent men', we fail to question the sources of their violence. There is no doubt as to the underlying causes: racial capitalism, ultra-conservative populism, the crushing of the Global South by wars and imperialist looting, the exile of millions and the proliferation of prisons – these all put masculinity in the service of a policy of death. Against the spirit of the times, Françoise Vergès refuses the punitive obsession of the State in favour of restorative justice.
