Book Description
A new translation of the final work of French philosopher Jean Cavaillès. In this short, dense essay, Jean Cavaillès evaluates philosophical efforts to determine the origin—logical or ontological—of scientific thought, arguing that, rather than seeking to found science in original intentional acts, a priori meanings, or foundational logical relations, any adequate theory must involve a history of the concept. Cavaillès insists on a historical epistemology that is conceptual rather than phenomenological, and a logic that is dialectical rather than transcendental. His famous call (cited by Foucault) to abandon "a philosophy of consciousness" for "a philosophy of the concept" was crucial in displacing the focus of philosophical enquiry from aprioristic foundations toward structural historical shifts in the conceptual fabric. This new translation of Cavaillès's final work, written in 1942 during his imprisonment for Resistance activities, presents an opportunity to reencounter an original and lucid thinker. Cavaillès's subtle adjudication between positivistic claims that science has no need of philosophy, and philosophers' obstinate disregard for actual scientific events, speaks to a dilemma that remains pertinent for us today. His affirmation of the authority of scientific thinking combined with his commitment to conceptual creation yields a radical defense of the freedom of thought and the possibility of the new.

Book Description
Il est devenu si courant aujourd’hui de parler des logiques qu’on ne sait bien souvent plus ce qu’est la logique. Pierre Wagner donne à comprendre cette discipline en décrivant le genre de questions que se posent ou que se sont posées les logiciens, le genre de certitudes qu’ils ont acquises et la variété des projets qui ani-ment leurs recherches. S’il expose avec clarté les bases de la logique contemporaine et ses origines historiques, l’auteur montre aussi que, depuis les années 1950, les recherches logiques ont pris de nouvelles directions, comme l’étude des structures syntaxiques et sémantiques des langues naturelles, l’informatique théorique, l’intelligence artificielle, la théorie des jeux, l’analyse dynamique des croyances et de la connaissance, ou encore les sciences cognitives.

Book Description
Mettre les bases de la logique à la portée de tous, et plus particulièrement des non-mathématiciens, tel est l’objectif de ce manuel. Tout spécifiquement conçu pour les étudiants entretenant une relation conflictuelle avec les sciences, ou définitivement rétifs aux maths et au formalisme, il ne requiert aucune formation ou bagage préalable. Pas question cependant de maintenir le lecteur à distance, et de ne lui proposer que quelques aperçus lointains: c’est au contraire au cœur même de la matière que Jacques Duparc emmène celui-ci, en le guidant pas à pas sur une trace moderne et novatrice, privilégiant le jeu et l’intuitivité. Claire et didactique, une référence incontournable pour l’apprentissage de la logique.

Book Description
The present publication is a continuation of two earlier series of chronicles, Philosophy in the Mid-Century (Firenze 1958/59) and Contemporary Philosophy (Firenze 1968), edited by Raymond KJibansky. As with the earlier series the present chronicles purport to give a survey of significant trends in contemporary philosophi cal discussion. The time space covered by the present series is (approximately) 1966-1978. The need for such surveys has, I believe, increased rather than decreased over the last years. The philosophical scene appears, for various reasons, more complex than ever before. The continuing process of specialization in most branches, the emergence of new schools of thought, particularly in philosophical logic and the philosophy of language, the convergence of interest (though not necessarily of opinion) of different traditions upon certain prob lems, and the increasing attention being paid to the history of philosophy in discussions of contemporary problems are the most important contributory factors. Surveys of the present kind are a valuable source of knowledge of this complexity and may as such be an assistance in renewing the understanding of one's own philosophical problems. The surveys, it is to be hoped, may also help to strengthen the Socratic element of modem philosophy, the dialogue or Kommu nikationsgemeinschajt. So far, four volumes have been prepared for the new series. The present chronicles in the Philosophy of Language and Philosophi cal Logic (Vol. I), are followed by chronicles in the Philosophy of Science (Vol. II), and Philosophy of Action (Vol.
