Collection : La Croisée des chemins

Research, heritage, controversy - these are just some of the forms the movement of ideas can take. The history of thought is not restricted to grandiose and impenetrable systems; it also includes a large volume of speeches, polemics, and conceptual migrations from one branch of thought to another. The "La croisée des chemins" collection publishes texts on the subject of intellectual history and its current impact: philosophy, political and legal theory, the aesthetics and challenges of scientific practices. It also sets out to promote foreign research in these areas and to make available to readers the key texts which are regarded as milestones in this history.

« Il faut éduquer les enfants… »
"Children have to be educated…"
L'idéologie de l'éducation en question
Questioning the ideology of education
La croisée des chemins
The sentence "children have to be educated…" seems all at once like a foregone conclusion, an injunction and an ideal. It seems obvious to adhere to what seems to be an anthropological invari-ant. However, this work proposes another perspective based on philosophical and historical studies of two major periods.

Anthropologie sceptique et modernité
Skeptical anthropology and modernity
La croisée des chemins
Scepticism is a philosophical current in which doubt is neither a discomfort to be overcome, nor an artifice located at the beginning of an investigation aiming at its own overcoming, but a way of speaking and of standing in existence. What does such a position imply on the anthropological level?

Bacon and Descartes : the Geneses of Modern Philosophy
La croisée des chemins
Bacon and Descartes are often regarded as having laid out the agenda for modern philosophy, in so far as they have rejected Aristotelism and in so far as they have elaborated on the power of man over nature and on the importance of technique.

Bakounine jeune hégélien
La philosophie et son dehors
La croisée des chemins
In October 1842, the young Russian émigré Mikhail Bakunin published "Reaction In Germany" in Arnold Ruge's German Annals. This brilliant and brash contribution to the debates of the Hegelian Left uses Hegel's Logic as a logic of conflict which excludes all forms of external mediation between the opposing parties of Reaction and Revolution.
