L'intelligence de la pratique
The Intelligence of Practice Le concept de disposition chez Spinoza
The Concept of Disposition in Spinoza La croisée des chemins
Unlike traditional and contemporary approches of dispositions, the philosophy of Spinoza proposes a deterministic and actualist definition. This book highlights the originality of this definition and shows that the concept is crucial for the philosophy of practice and anthropology of Spinoza.
Edited by Jacques-Louis Lantoine La servitude volontaire
Voluntary Servitude Postérité, réappropriations et perspectives critiques
Posterity, Reappropriations and Critical Perspectives La croisée des chemins
The formula « voluntary servitude » is mobilized without being necessarily referred to La Boétie's Discourse. The paradoxical and enigmatic aspect of the expression seduces. This book provides a critical analysis of it and proposes avatars that are more suitable to explain the phenomenon it indicates.
L'homme et la brute au XVIIe siècle
Human and brute in 17th century. Une éthique animale à l'âge classique ?
An animal ethics in early modern philosophy? La croisée des chemins
The book questions the representations, debates and arguments supported by the authors of the 17th century about the relationship between men and beasts, also called "brutes" at that time. No animal ethics appears in their writings, but this absence cannot be related to the mere expression of irrational prejudices.
