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.

Body image and gender differences in the Early Modern period
Descartes, Cureau de la Chambre, Poulain de la Barre et Malebranche
Descartes, Cureau de la Chambre, Poulain de la Barre and Malebranche
La croisée des chemins
This book is a study of two major conceptions of gender difference in the modern era: that of Descartes and that of Cureau de la Chambre. Their legacies are complex, from Poulain de la Barre's feminist egalitarianism to Malebranche's inegalitarian differentialism.



Charles T. Wolfe, Pierre-François Moreau
Lire le matérialisme
Reading Materialism
La croisée des chemins
These essays focus on the problem of materialism in the history of philosophy, in different contexts, some classic, some less so (mind-body relations, the status of the brain, the issue of atheism, but also, dreams, embodiment; laughter and the emergence of a "new materialism" in contemporary thought)

New Perspectives in Recognition Theory
Lectures et enquêtes
Readings and Investigations

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.



Dario Ippolito
L'esprit des droits
The Spirit of the Rights
Montesquieu et le pouvoir de punir
Montesquieu and the Power to Punish
La croisée des chemins
This book proposes a reflection on Montesquieu's political thought and the tension between the power to punish and individual rights. What does it mean to say that «it is on the goodness of criminal laws that the liberty of the subject principally depends»?



Ninon Grangé
L'urgence et l'effroi
Urgency and Terror
L'état d'exception, la guerre et les temps politiques
State of exception, war and political times
La croisée des chemins
This book proposes to show that politics is always a way of imposing a temporality against other temporalities, both unveiled and covered by the state of exception.



Ninon Grangé, Frédéric Ramel
Le droit international selon Hans Kelsen
Hans Kelsen and International Law
Criminalités, responsabilités, normativités
Criminality, Responsibility, Normativity
La croisée des chemins
This book aims at introducing an aspect of the legal thought of Hans Kelsen, and more particularly its conception of International Law. The originality of this research results from the integration of two translations of under-studied texts of Kelsen concerning the International criminal justice during the creation of military tribunals post WWII.



Raffaele Carbone, Chantal Jaquet, Pierre-François Moreau
Spinoza-Malebranche
Spinoza-Malebranche
À la croisée des interprétations
At the Crossroads of Interpretations
La croisée des chemins
The relationship between Spinoza's and Malebranche's philosophies has rarely been approached head-on in a speculative comparison which explores both the ontology and theory of knowledge and ethics and politics. This book offers new research on this subject.
