Neuroscientist and neurologist Lionel Naccache is a tireless finder of novel ideas. The question of subjectivity, its powers, and the threats it faces, is the matter at the heart of this book.Starting with consciousness, Naccache explores a variety of themes that all lead us back to the subject: from empathy to mental maps, from Alzheimer's to sleep exploration, from neurochips to ChatGPT, from cinema to its links with the workings of our mental life, and so on.How can subjectivity make its way between social determinism and neurobiological constraints? What weight does it carry in collective life against the political, economic, social, and environmental challenges we face?In this book, Naccache compiles chronicles broadcast on France Culture in 2023 and 2024, enriching them with previously unpublished commentaries combining science, philosophy, and literature. Subject, Are You There? offers a fascinating blend of different disciplines and fields of knowledge, tracing the features of the landscape of subjectivity as we experience it today.In these matinal thoughts, we rediscover Lionel Naccache's pleasure in thinking and his art of focused digression.

""Are we losing consciousness?"", that is, are we losing the meaning of what knowledge is when we proclaim ourselves a ""knowledge society""? Today, knowledge no longer scares anyone, while for three thousand years our Western culture has continued to describe it as vital and dangerous. Yes, dangerous, who still remembers it? Does this break with our heritage constitute progress or regression, a fall or an ascent? Mythology and Neurology, sources of ""knowledge of knowledge"", will offer us precious keys to resolve this unprecedented paradox in the history of thought. In this brilliant essay that explores the multiple dimensions of our existences, we understand why knowledge should not be considered as a question of ""specialists"", but as everyone's business. Lionel Naccache is a neurologist at the Piti -Salp tri re hospital in Paris and a researcher in cognitive neuroscience at the Brain and Spinal Cord Institute Research Center. He is the author of The New Unconscious.

Master the art of agile single page web application development with ClojureScript About This Book • Set up interactive development workflows for the browser or Node.js thanks to the ClojureScript ecosystem • Learn the basics of interactive single page web app development taking advantage of the functional nature of ClojureScript • Delve into advanced rich web application development concepts such as Om, along with core.async, using zippers and logic programming, and preparing code for production with testing or optimizing via the Google Closure Compiler Who This Book Is For This book is for web application developers who want to benefit from the power of ClojureScript to get an agile and highly productive development platform that targets mainly browser JavaScript. You are not required to be fluent in Clojure, but it will be easier for you if you have a basic understanding of browser and server-side JavaScript. What You Will Learn • Understand how the ClojureScript compiler operates • Set up interactive development workflows for ClojureScript • Grasp the basics of the ClojureScript language, including basic syntax, data structures, variable scoping, namespaces, and finally the powerful sequence abstraction • Delve into advanced concepts such as functional programming, macro writing, asynchronous programming, app routing, and real-time web • Develop simple one page web applications • Explore techniques to make your web apps aware of the external world through external or embedded database access or Oauth 2 integration • Learn more advanced ClojureScript concepts like in app routing, real-time web • Prepare your work for production, getting insights into optional type-checking, writing portable Clojure/ClojureScript code, and testing In Detail Clojure is an expressive language that makes it possible to easily tackle complex software development challenges. Its bias toward interactive development has made it a powerful tool, enabling high developer productivity. In this book, you will first learn how to construct an interactive development experience for ClojureScript.. You will be guided through ClojureScript language concepts, looking at the basics first, then being introduced to advanced concepts such as functional programming or macro writing. After that, we elaborate on the subject of single page web applications, showcasing how to build a simple one, then covering different possible enhancements. We move on to study more advanced ClojureScript concepts, where you will be shown how to address some complex algorithmic cases. Finally, you'll learn about optional type-checking for your programs, how you can write portable code, test it, and put the advanced compilation mode of the Google Closure Compiler to good use. Style and approach This book is a comprehensive reference guide on ClojureScript development for the front end, and will gradually help you master interactive ClojureScript development workflows, through detailed step-by-step information illustrated with annotated code samples.
