Описание: This looks like a book but it`s actually a clever sound panel that allows children to hear 128 French words spoken by a native speaker. Simply take one of the 4 cards (each features 16 words and pictures on each side) out of the envelope and insert into the slot as instructed. Press `go` and then press a picture to hear how the word is pronounced.
Political moderation is the touchstone of democracy, which could not function without compromise and bargaining, yet it is one of the most understudied concepts in political theory. How can we explain this striking paradox? Why do we often underestimate the virtue of moderation? Seeking to answer these questions, A Virtue for Courageous Minds examines moderation in modern French political thought and sheds light on the French Revolution and its legacy.
Aurelian Craiutu begins with classical thinkers who extolled the virtues of a moderate approach to politics, such as Aristotle and Cicero. He then shows how Montesquieu inaugurated the modern rebirth of this tradition by laying the intellectual foundations for moderate government. Craiutu looks at important figures such as Jacques Necker, Madame de Sta l, and Benjamin Constant, not only in the context of revolutionary France but throughout Europe. He traces how moderation evolves from an individual moral virtue into a set of institutional arrangements calculated to protect individual liberty, and he explores the deep affinity between political moderation and constitutional complexity. Craiutu demonstrates how moderation navigates between political extremes, and he challenges the common notion that moderation is an essentially conservative virtue, stressing instead its eclectic nature.
Drawing on a broad range of writings in political theory, the history of political thought, philosophy, and law, A Virtue for Courageous Minds reveals how the virtue of political moderation can address the profound complexities of the world today.

Описание:
The reputation of the Marquis de Sade is well-founded. The experience of reading his works is demanding to an extreme. Violence and sexuality appear on almost every page, and these descriptions are interspersed with extended discourses on materialism, atheism, and crime. In this bold and rigorous study William S. Allen sets out the context and implications of Sade's writings in order to explain their lasting challenge to thought. For what is apparent from a close examination of his works is the breadth of his readings in contemporary science and philosophy, and so the question that has to be addressed is why Sade pursued these interests by way of erotica of the most violent kind.
Allen shows that Sade's interests lead to a form of writing that seeks to bring about a new mode of experience that is engaged in exploring the limits of sensibility through their material actualization. In common with other Enlightenment thinkers Sade is concerned with the place of reason in the world, a place that becomes utterly transformed by a materialism of endless excess. This concern underlies his interest in crime and sexuality, and thereby puts him in the closest proximity to thinkers like Kant and Diderot, but also at the furthest extreme, in that it indicates how far the nature and status of reason is perverted. It is precisely this materialist critique of reason that is developed and demonstrated in his works, and which their reading makes persistently, excessively, apparent.

« L’?criture ? l’?re de l’ind?termination consid?re l’exp?rience de la litt?rature comme une mani?re de traiter les questions les plus complexes du monde contemporain. L’auteur avait d?j? soulign? l’importance de la critique g?n?tique et des apports th?oriques de la psychanalyse lacanienne aux ?tudes litt?raires dans ses autres livres ; ici, nous sommes conduits ? faire un tour de plus par les mains de Flaubert, Proust, Bauchau, Murakami, Poe et Joyce. Formant une spirale qui ? chaque r?volution se transforme, toujours sensible aux conditions initiales, nous arrivons ainsi ? un mode de lecture qui permet de travailler la complexit? de la vie dans son aspect litt?raire allant jusqu’aux th?ories du chaos d?terministique et du cerveau. Bien que nous soyons tous d’accord sur la complexit? du monde difficile et dangereux dans lequel nous vivons, tr?s peu recherchent comme Willemart non pas des critiques n?gatives et des positions identitaires et autoritaires, mais des modes d’habiter ces mondes travers?s par des faisceaux de d?terminations et d’ind?terminations, des zones de stabilit? et d’instabilit?s, mondes dans lesquels nos formes d’intelligibilit? enrichissent et dynamisent l’exp?rience, faisant en sorte que la litt?rature devienne l’un des lieux rares o? cette complexit? peut ?tre v?cue intens?ment. » – Roberto Zular, Professor de th?orie Litt?raire, D?partement de Th?orie Litt?raire, Facult? de Philosophie, Lettres et Sciences Humaines, Universit? de S?o Paulo (USP)

Описание: The roots of modern commerce and the origins of economics are usually traced to Adam Smith and his alleged celebration of free trade. Questioning this conventional story, Anoush Fraser Terjanian uncovers ambivalence towards commerce in eighteenth-century France and offers a new perspective on the connections between political economy, imperialism and the Enlightenment.
