Author: Action and Reaction in the World System
Author: Thierry de MontbrialPublisher: UBC Press
ISBN: 0774824751
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 378
Book Description
This book occupies the same niche as Raymond Aron’s 1962 classic, Peace and War: A Theory of International Relations. While Aron wrote during the Cold War, Thierry de Montbrial writes about the post-Soviet international system, a system that is multipolar, ideologically heterogeneous, and therefore highly unstable. In this book, de Montbrial lays the foundation for a praxeology, or a “science of action,” to facilitate a better understanding of the dynamics of international problems and a more systematic approach to policy making. He develops a model to analyze different types of international problems that arise from interactions between different “active units,” which he then applies to a range of current and historical problems. A major contribution to international relations theory and winner of the 2002 Georges Pompidou Prize in its original French edition, this book offers the necessary keys to decrypt the international system in the twenty-first century. It has been published internationally in seven languages.
The Cogito and Hermeneutics: The Question of the Subject in Ricoeur
Author: D. JervolinoPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9400906390
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 203
Book Description
by Paul Ricoeur It is already a piece of good fortune to find oneself understood by a reader who is at once demanding and benevolent. It is an even greater fortune to be better understood by another than by one's own self. In effect, when I look back, I am rather struck by the discontinuity among my works, each of which takes on a specific problem and apparently has little more in common with its predecessor than the fact of having left an overflow of unanswered questions behind it as a residue. On the contrary, Domenico Jervolino's interpretation of my works, which extend over more than forty years, stresses their coherence, in spite of the gap in time between my present, soon to be issued work--Temps et Recit--and my first, Philosophie de la Volonte: Ie Volontaire et l'lnvolontaire. Our friend finds the principle of coherence first of all in the recurrence of a problem: the destiny of the idea of subjectivity, caught in the cross-fire between Nietzsche and Heidegger on one side and semiology, psychoanalysis and the critique of ideology on the other. He finds it likewise in the insistence on a method: the mediating role played by interpretation, mainly of texts, with regard to reflexion on self.

Décision et Action
Author: POMEROL Jean-CharlesPublisher: Lavoisier
ISBN: 274628894X
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 338
Book Description
Quelle que soit l’importance de la décision, l’hésitation peut paralyser l’action. S’intéressant à la décision pour l’action, le décideur est alors, soit confronté aux théoriciens qui ne se mettent pas à sa portée, soit renvoyé à des études de cas trop souvent anecdotiques. Ce livre établit un lien entre la décision, l’action et les théories récentes de l’intelligence artificielle, de la neurobiologie et de la psychologie. Quels sont les principaux comportements psychologiques dont il faut se méfier ? Quel est le rôle de l’intuition ou de l’émotion ? Comment éviter la manipulation ? Quel est le bon usage de la planification ? Comment rester rationnel sans être un expert des probabilités ? Comment passer de la décision à l’action ? Illustré par de nombreux exemples, cet ouvrage répond, dans un langage simple et didactique, aux interrogations des managers.

Paul Ricoeur
Author: Charles E. ReaganPublisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 0226706036
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 178
Book Description
Reagan combines different genres to supplement and enhance the central biographical essay. A personal memoir recalls the turbulent student protests of the 1960s and Ricoeur's controversial resignation as head of the faculties at the University of Paris-Nanterre. A penetrating philosophical exposition draws together the essential themes of Ricoeur's philosophical anthropology. And a collection of four substantive interviews offers privileged access to Ricoeur's own remarkably clear explication of his most challenging and stimulating ideas. The result of this innovative mix of genres is a multidimensional and astonishingly perceptive portrait of a seminal philosopher's life and work.
Seduction, Community, Speech
Author: Frank BrisardPublisher: John Benjamins Publishing
ISBN: 9027294895
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 210
Book Description
This volume unites various contributions reflecting the intellectual interests exhibited by Professor Herman Parret (Institute of Philosophy, Leuven), who has continued to observe, and often critically assess, ongoing developments in pragmatics throughout his career. In fact, Parret’s contributions to philosophical and empirical/linguistic pragmatics present substantive proposals in the epistemics of communication, while simultaneously offering meta-comments on the ideological premises of extant pragmatic analyses. In a lengthy introduction, an overview is provided of his achievements in promoting an integrated, “maximalist” pragmatics, as well as of the links between his own work in philosophy of language and in semiotics and aesthetics. The remaining 12 essays address relevant pragmatic themes or look into the relation between pragmatics and neighboring disciplines. They deal with grammatical deixis (Brisard, Ikegami) and mood (van der Auwera & Schalley), performativity (Harnish, Holdcroft), speech-act types and their praxeological dimensions (Roulet, Van Overbeke), Wittgensteinian language games (Marques, Parisi), cultural and intercultural identities (Vandenabeele, Verschueren), and the visual arts (Wildgen).
