L' Église et la politique québécoise, de Taschereau à Duplessis

L' Église et la politique québécoise, de Taschereau à Duplessis

Alexandre Dumas

McGill-Queen's University Press
2019
sidottu
Si l'on en croit l'historien Denis Vaugeois, les gens inventent des histoires depuis soixante ans à propos du gouvernement de Maurice Duplessis. Dans le domaine de la politique, l'image généralement acceptée du Québec d'avant la Révolution tranquille est celle d'une société écrasée par une Église catholique omniprésente, avec la complicité d'un gouvernement de l'Union nationale corrompu. L'arrivée au pouvoir du Parti libéral de Jean Lesage en 1960 devait mettre un terme à cette puissante alliance et permettre ainsi au Québec d'entrer dans l'ère moderne. Se peut-il que les tendances politiques du clergé catholique se démarquaient alors de cette idée populaire et l'avaient toujours fait? L'Église et la politique québécoise, de Taschereau à Duplessis jette un nouveau regard sur des préjugés concernant le rôle historique joué par l'Église catholique dans la politique du Québec. Le soutien électoral du clergé à l'Union nationale, la ferme opposition de l'Église au droit de vote des femmes, l'origine cléricale de la Loi du cadenas et le soutien accordé par l'archevêque de Montréal au dirigeant fasciste Adrien Arcand sont toutes des notions qui ont reçu l'aval inconditionnel des historiens – des idées remises en question dans cet ouvrage. En ce qui a trait à la relation entre l'Église et l'État, Maurice Duplessis s'inscrivait dans la continuité de ses homologues libéraux. Après avoir consulté des archives jusqu'ici inaccessibles, Alexandre Dumas en vient à la conclusion surprenante que l'Église catholique était peut-être plus sympathique à la cause du Parti libéral qu'à celle de l'Union nationale.

Bringing together gastronomy, discovery, and travel, this geographically organized journey highlights more than 700 culinary specialties spanning five continents. There is much food trivia and history to ponder: the common carrot originated in Afghanistan, while fish sperm is prized in Japan.

Organized alphabetically by continent and country, this is an engaging tour of the world's pantry from soup to nuts, including fruits, vegetables, spices, breads and baked goods, seafood, meats, dairy, drinks, and much more. Highly browsable, this is an inspirational guide to new tastes and culinary adventures.

The Foundation of Rome

The Foundation of Rome

Alexandre Grandazzi

Cornell University Press
1997
pokkari
At once a historical essay and a self-conscious meditation on the writing of history, The Foundation of Rome takes as its starting point a series of accounts of Rome's origins offered over the course of centuries. Alexandre Grandazzi places these accounts in their contemporary contexts and shows how the growing sophistication in methodology gradually changed the accepted views of the city's origins. He looks, for example, at the hypercritical philology of the nineteenth century which cast aside everything that could not be verified. He then explains how the increase in archaeological discoveries and changing archaeological techniques influenced the story of Rome's birth.Grandazzi produces a depiction of Rome's origins that is both up-to-date and provocative. His use of scientific parallels in describing changes in the ways texts were analyzed and his broad familiarity with comparative material make his synthesis particularly illuminating, and he writes with clarity, verve, and wit.

Introduction to the Reading of Hegel

Introduction to the Reading of Hegel

Alexandre Kojeve

Cornell University Press
1980
pokkari
"This collection of Kojeve's thoughts about Hegel constitutes one of the few important philosophical books of the twentieth century—a book, knowledge of which is requisite to the full awareness of our situation and to the grasp of the most modern perspective on the eternal questions of philosophy."—Allan Bloom (from the Introduction) During the years 1933–1939, the Russian-born and German-educated Marxist political philosopher Alexandre Kojève (1902–1968) brilliantly explicated—through a series of lectures—the philosophy of Hegel as it was developed in the Phenomenology of Spirit. This collection of lectures—originally compiled by Raymond Queneau and edited for its English-language translation by Allan Bloom—shows the intensity of Kojève's study and thought and the depth of his insight into Hegel's Phenomenology. More important—for Kojève was above all a philosopher and not an ideologue—this profound and venturesome work on Hegel will expose the readers to the excitement of discovering a great mind in all its force and power.

From the Closed World to the Infinite Universe

From the Closed World to the Infinite Universe

Alexandre Koyre

Johns Hopkins University Press
1968
pokkari
During the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries a radical change occurred in the patterns and framework of European thought. In the wake of discoveries through the telescope and Copernican theory, the notion of an ordered cosmos of 'fixed stars' gave way to that of a universe infinite in both time and space - with significant and far-reaching consequences for human thought. Alexandre Koyre interprets this revolution in terms of the change that occurred in our conception of the universe and our place in it and shows the primacy of this change in the development of the modern world.

Chaos and Determinism

Chaos and Determinism

Alexandre Favre; Henri Guitton; Jean Guitton; Andre Lichnerowicz

Johns Hopkins University Press
1995
pokkari
In this volume, members of the French Academy from several disciplines - including fluid mechanics, economics, philosophy, theoretcial physics and biology - offer scientific and theoretical analyses of the concepts of order, chaos and determinism as they emerge in such complex and diverse systems as atmosphere, oceans, monetary economics and biological organisms. Using turbulence in fluid mechanics as the chief model, the authors describe and explain the behaviour of systems that tend toward a particular end-state, such as an attractor in dynamic systems. The result is an interdisciplinary study of complex behaviour and its philosophical consequences in fluid mechanics, meteorology, oceanography, physics, embryology, genetics and economics.

The Image of Law

The Image of Law

Alexandre Lefebvre

Stanford University Press
2008
sidottu
The Image of Law is the first book to examine law through the thought of twentieth-century French philosopher Gilles Deleuze. Lefebvre challenges the truism that judges must apply and not create law. In a plain and lucid style, he activates Deleuze's key themes—his critique of dogmatic thought, theory of time, and concept of the encounter—within the context of adjudication in order to claim that judgment has an inherent, and not an accidental or willful, creativity. The book begins with a critique of the neo-Kantian tradition in legal theory (Hart, Dworkin, and Habermas) and proceeds to draw on Bergson's theory of perception and memory and Spinoza's conception of ethics in order to frame creativity as a necessary feature of judgment.

Human Rights As a Way of Life

Human Rights As a Way of Life

Alexandre Lefebvre

Stanford University Press
2013
sidottu
The work of Henri Bergson, the foremost French philosopher of the early twentieth century, is not usually explored for its political dimensions. Indeed, Bergson is best known for his writings on time, evolution, and creativity. This book concentrates instead on his political philosophy—and especially on his late masterpiece, The Two Sources of Morality and Religion—from which Alexandre Lefebvre develops an original approach to human rights. We tend to think of human rights as the urgent international project of protecting all people everywhere from harm. Bergson shows us that human rights can also serve as a medium of personal transformation and self-care. For Bergson, the main purpose of human rights is to initiate all human beings into love. Forging connections between human rights scholarship and philosophy as self-care, Lefebvre uses human rights to channel the whole of Bergson's philosophy.
