First published in 1970, Facts, Words and Beliefs is concerned primarily with formulating the following question and suggesting the right way of answering it- how can a few stray images or muttered words running through our mind constitute our envisagement of situation perhaps remote in time and place from our present position? From a practical point of view the moments when we envisage the nature of some situation which we believe to exist may not be of any great importance. It would seem that our belief in the existence of such situations lies in some sort of adjustment of our behaviour to them which will be useful if the situations really exist, from the point of view of survival and comfort. The author suggests that these moments of conscious envisagement of such absent situations may be rather a sign of such successful adjustment than a factor in bringing it about, hence of no practical value in themselves. However, if knowledge has any sort of intrinsic value, it must surely lie in those moments when one does consciously envisage some aspects of the world more or less as it really is, and to try to understand the nature of these moments is to try to understand all that is of intrinsic value in knowledge. This book is a must read for scholars and researchers of philosophy.

La vie nous r serve parfois des surprises.Atterrir dans la mauvaise ville au lieu de celle o se trouve le centre dernier cri pour remise en forme n'est d j pas anodin, mais que les habitants de cette bourgade d cident que vous ferez une parfaite petite amie pour Achille, l'enfant ch ri, le sort s'acharne sur vous Alors rajoutez cela, Kate, une petite fille espi gle de six ans qui r ve plus que tout d'avoir une nouvelle maman et qui n'aura de cesse de vous appeler Clochette - oui, vous avez bien lu, Clochette, comme la f e dans Peter Pan - pourtant je ne suis pas si petite Et c'est tout l'univers qui se ligue contre vous.Bienvenue dans la vie d'Ermonia, une jeune championne de patinage artistique d termin e et implacable, d cid e tout pour honorer la promesse faite son p re. Rien ne pourra se mettre sur son chemin pas m me Achille, cet ancien hockeyeur professionnel qui la met en transe.Elle gagnera ces Jeux olympiques quoiqu'il arrive, quitte supporter Franck, son coach tyrannique, elle fera tout ce qu'il faut, jusqu' mettre sa vie personnelle et ses sentiments entre parenth ses. Mais, c'est sans compter sur la t nacit des villageois et de leur plan diabolique.Lorsque ces deux as de la glace vont se rencontrer, la libido de notre h ro ne va vouloir faire surface, adieu vie de for at qui ne respire que pour le sport et bonjour, fantaisie, attirance et rires.L'un et l'autre vont vouloir r sister, lutter farouchement contre leur d sir commun, mais l'attraction est plus forte que tout.Peut-on tout sacrifier par amour ?
This book, first published in 1969, casts a critical eye over the problem of insurgency. The author sees insurgency not just as a matter of technique – military tactics or organizational skill – nor as the result of ‘force and fraud’, but as ‘people’s war’: the conditions in which the mass of the people become involved, voluntarily or otherwise, on either side. He quotes Nasution’s statement, ‘The guerrilla movement is only the result, not the cause of the problem’. People’s war brings the peasantry, hitherto ignorant, apathetic or rejected, into the political process. For ‘war is … the continuation of politics by other means’. In Asia this was essentially a peasant’s war, arising when peasant grievances, interests or demands cannot be met under the existing ‘legitimate’ but urban or landowner-orientated system of rule. It shows little understanding to blame outside intervention when peasant – and nationalist – unrest leads to revolt. The Chinese Communists did not owe success to Soviet aid, the Vietminh to Chinese assistance or the Vietcong to North Vietnamese intervention. The conclusion applies to governments as to insurgents: no amount of outside aid can win the war for them if they themselves are incapable and the people – on whom they depend for support – have no will to fight. This book, based on first-hand experience of the area and on study of original sources, offers (1) an analysis of ‘people’s war’ in China, Indochina and Vietnam, (2) a critique of US policy in Laos and Vietnam and (3) a comparison with counter-measures in Malaya, the Philippines and Indonesia. It is both original and constructive.
