Philosophie

Quelles sont les origines de l'esthétique contemporaine, les raisons qui l'ont installée si durablement dans le paysage artistique et celles qui l'ont amenée à séduire un public toujours plus nombreux ? Après avoir souligné l'incompréhension initiale du public, nous montrerons que le surgissement de mouvements artistiques comme Fluxus et, surtout, l'adoption par l'avant-garde artistique américaine de concepts de la philosophie analytique, ont été déterminants dans son avènement. L'insistance de cette nouvelle esthétique sur les objets et le langage a rencontré les fondamentaux de notre ' société du spectacle '. Ainsi les intérêts industriels et artistiques ont-ils fusionné en un marché global de l'esthétique qui consolide leurs intérêts communs. Enfin, notre société individualiste a dénié toute autorité aux institutions pour juger de l'art. L'individu est maintenant souverain juge. C'est en cédant son privilège d'unique représentant de l'esthétique postmoderne que l'art contemporain a trouvé sa rédemption aux yeux du public.

This research is an ontological examination of land in Africa. Land in Africa occupies the central position of existence in the ontological order of the hierarchy of the ontology of being in Africa, because land defines the bases of African history, spirituality, identity, morality, unity, kinship, economic progress and other essentialities of being which place land as the first principle in hierarchy of the cosmic order. Land in Africa is force and force is being, hence land in Africa is more than economic property, it includes, also, a field of events, where vital forces responsible for various natural occurrences act upon nature and existence. Land in Africa is a phenomenon that connects man to the essential elements of nature as opposed to the Western conception of land as geographical entity for economic gains. Adopting analytic method, this research helps to recreate an African orientation of land in the face of global warming and other ontological issues attached to land. This study intends to show that contemporary Africa, over time has lost the ontological status of land, owing to land desecration, grabbing and court litigations that have characterized the present African society and the need for Africans to return to the foregone ontological orientation of land that have existed before now by identifying the historical, spiritual and moral connections that exist between land and the human person by returning to the normative ways of land retributions for justice. Finally our thesis here concludes that land in Africa serves as the beginning and end of being "thing", because land among Africans is conceived as the finitude of existence and mans ambitions. In discovering this African understanding of land, one will drag a premise that as soon as mans activities is not done in an empty space; land defined the connection that exists between the human person and nature. It regulate the order of things in the universe.

Nell'immaginario collettivo, il conflitto è quasi sempre percepito come una manifestazione aggressiva e violenta di varia portata, le cui conseguenze in termini di frustrazione e distruzione di beni e/o vite umane lo rendono una parte indesiderabile della vita in società. Eppure, come la disuguaglianza e l'ingiustizia, il conflitto è parte integrante della vita umana. Il conflitto è anche la principale leva per il cambiamento sociale. Questo cambiamento è spesso fonte di innovazione, intesa come cambiamento del processo di pensiero finalizzato alla realizzazione di una nuova azione. In una società post-conflitto, costruire la pace significa anche costruire una nuova società. Questo libro si propone di identificare le innovazioni sociali e politiche nel processo di stabilizzazione e ricostruzione nella RDC, in 5 parti. La seconda parte presenta le sfide della stabilizzazione e della ricostruzione (2); il contributo delle Nazioni Unite a questo processo (3) è seguito da un'analisi delle innovazioni sociali e politiche. I limiti dell'innovazione e l'efficacia di questi interventi (5) completano l'analisi.

Everyone is aware of the distinction between right and wrong, between what is morally good and morally bad. The distinction is made by people every day, in the home and in the school, in business and labor, in courts and police actions, in politics and in government. And yet, the attitude of many persons toward human conduct is largely amoral. People know intuitively 'that' some actions are morally good and others morally bad, but they are not sure 'why' they are so. It is therefore necessary to reaffirm the principles which underlie morality. Ethics, or moral philosophy, seeks to lay bare the natural foundations of correct living, to uncover the principles which govern morality and make individual actions to be right or wrong, and thus develop the science of right conduct.

2021 was the fifth anniversary of Amoris Lætitia, and according to pope Francis, it should have been a year of reflection on the exhortation, an opportunity to focus more closely on the content of the document. In response to this appeal, Dispelling the Fog presents five essays analysing the issue of the so-called ¿divorced-remarried¿ and their access to the Eucharist in connection with the exhortation. Vojt¿ch ¿imek focuses on the crucial Chapter 8 of Amoris Lætitia and its possible interpretations. Peter Dvöák examines and refutes the claim that the teaching of the exhortation is Thomistic. Luká¿ Novák argues that even after Amoris Lætitia, there is no sustainable argument to vindicate the legitimacy of administering the Eucharist to the ¿remarried¿ who refuse to commit themselves to abstinence. Stanislav P¿ibyl interprets the ever increasing demand for unrestricted access to the Eucharist as a manifestation of a general tendency in the post-conciliar Church to abandon the Sacrament of Penance. Finally, Marie Tejklová criticizes the so-called Filial Correction for not adequately addressing the symptoms of modernism in Amoris Lætitia: given that modernism is based on skepticism, it cannot be countered by a mere appeal to the teaching of the Church but calls for a philosophical refutation. The book further includes a foreword by bishop Athanasius Schneider, an afterword by Professor Stanislav Sousedík and rich indices.

In accordance with the purpose as an introduction for students, the scope of the book is frankly positive and constructive. It attempts to build up an understanding of the matter of ontology in a logical manner, using simple language, illustrating the subjects with copious examples, and extracting the contents of each chapter into compact summaries. Some of the more abstruse problems of ontology, such as the problem of essence and existence, have been omitted; it was felt that the average student would derive little benefit from a lengthy discussion of problems which have taxed the ingenuity and acumen of the most profound intellects. Such problems may be attacked after the student has become acquainted with the ideas and subjects which form the foundation of the science of metaphysics. After all, the student cannot be expected to be a professional philosopher; it should be sufficient if he acquires a thorough grounding in fundamentals, so that he can deepen his knowledge through subsequent reading and study. In a general way we may define metaphysics as the science of the ultimate principles and properties of real beings.

A poised, humane voice meets a brisk, modern rhythm: Erasmus Against War invites you to rethink power, peace, and the humanist project with fresh clarity.This carefully curated edition reframes Erasmus's late medieval-into-early modern critique as both a persuasive essay collection and a window into Renaissance Europe. Its themes-pacifist warfare critique, christian ethics critique, and the politics of a humane commonwealth-speak directly to today's researchers and students while remaining accessible to casual readers. The book blends lucid argument with subtle irony, revealing how Erasmus navigated religious reform, social responsibility, and political thought in a shifting world. It is equally suited to classroom study and independent scholarship, offering thoughtful fodder for debates on Thomas More's utopian ideals, humanist political thought, and the evolving ethics of war and peace.A note on significance: this is not merely a historical text but a bridge between past and present, illustrating how Renaissance Europe wrestled with questions still pressing in early modern Europe and beyond. For collectors and curious readers alike, the volume is a tangible link to a pivotal moment in intellectual history, enriched by attentive editorial care.Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. This complete edition is illustrated to illuminate the ideas that shaped a era.

The life and art of Rene Moncada, otherwise known as The Best Artist, covering his early life, philosophy, major exhibitions and performances in both New York and Venezuela, as well as photographs of his art.For 25 years as the owner of a gallery in New York City's SoHo, Rene, best known for a series of murals undertaken between 1979 to 2000 proclaiming I AM THE BEST ARTIST Rene, is also known as Nature's Ambassador. Rene receives messages from Nature in the form of inspiration and it is his duty as her Ambassador to translate those messages into a transcendental language that everyone can understand. That language is ART, and drawing is its written form. Through his fiber art, Rene created unique haute couture fashions. Called Nudismos because in Spanish the word to knot is nudo, Rene also ties wood and wire together into sculptural constructions and creates paintings using the same Nudismo design.Rene noticed a subliminal image embedded within the label of the Mott's apple juice can. The label, showing a detailed rendering of a halved apple, contained an obvious representation of a vulva. Rene painted a replica of the can and held an exhibition showcasing his Mott's painting. This event was written up in numerous magazines of the 80's. Soon thereafter, Mott's redesigned the label, covering the center of the apple. Rene regards the vulva as the purest image in nature and it is a regular part of his art. "The shape is a basic structure, a universal image." Created to liberate art from the dictatorship of religion, his most provocative image, Sex and Violence, depicts a Christian cross with a vulva at its center. Rene has put together the creation of God to give life to his son with the creation of man to kill him, and asks the question, which is more sacred?Rene has created a series of sculptures by recycling Styrofoam, an ecological dilemma because it isn't biodegradable. Just as nature encapsulates toxic materials with vegetation, these sculptures are encapsulated with paper pulp and painted.As a vocal opponent of censorship, hypocrisy and oppression, Rene dedicated his artistic career to bring about the respect women deserve, justifying his actions as a desire to liberate not only the art world but the world at large. It is this attribute that qualifies him as The Best Artist.

A study of the most important figure in the early development of Christianity in the Roman Empire. The book argues, against some modern conceptions, the Saul of Tarsus (the apostle Paul) preached a very radical message that set him at odds with the brother and the early disciples of the historical Jesus. Principally, the book argues that Paul was very positive in regard of women in the church, that it pressed for freedom of slavery, and that some of the documents in the new Testament are forged letters in the name of Paul. ¿
