The son of Douaouf, the brilliant, scribe of the early XIIth Dynasty Xty " Khety " said this : "The man continues to subsist after reaching the haven of death and his actions are beside him in a heap. " If regression is the main cause of the alarming situation of Africa and its tails the perceptibles consequences at all levels, the solution to this problem is eminently political. It inevitably involves the constitution of a pan-African State. For men, there is no unity without memory of the past. In fact, the construction of a federal state inevitably involves the restoration of African historical consciousness. There is no national and federal identity without a common language. The unification of Africa will only be possible if it takes the measure of its linguistic unification issue. To a lesser extent but like Cheikh Anta Diop in his book titled the Cultural Unity, I was animated throughout this heuristic by the idea that only the true knowledge of the past can maintain the consciousness and the feeling of a historical continuity essential to the consolidation of a nation for the purpose of building a multinational state in line with its past. Like Cheikh Anta Diop, I build my sureness on the legitimate idea that a people who lost a significant part of their historical memory must engage in the investigation of their past in every possible way. This investigation can take the contours of a reconnection with its past through so-called old languages. But a people can not live only with by merely repeating of what others tell them about themselves. The investigation through its linguistic past allows especially a direct knowledge of oneself. In addition to the fact that this knowledge simply highlights its weaknesses, it allows also to become aware by an introspective and therefore reflective of its real abilities and strengths. It structures being and the consciousness of being to resist any form of servile and degrading ideology. This quest for the past, not founded on blind passion but objectivity, nourishes a healthy ambition for a real universalism. To know one's past is already to project one's future. To know one's past is to give oneself the capacity to be able to bring to others in a perspective of giving and receiving. To know one's past is to refuse intellectual guardianship and wait-and-seeism. To know one's past is to be reborn.

This study examines the work of Charles Sealsfield (1793-1864), the Moravian-American writer, whose fiction marked the first serious literary treatment of America in the German language. More specifically, Sealsfield's work is discussed in the light of his experience in America and, above all, in the light of his change of identity from Karl Anton Postl - Moravian monk to Charles Sealsfield - American writer. It employs two concepts - frontier and utopia - to show how Sealsfield was influenced by the antebellum tradition in America, and how he, in turn, used the governing myths and symbols of his time to create an important statement about the relationship between ideology and power in the Age of Jackson.

The nature of security in the contemporary world is changing rapidly. Superpower detente, the progress and further prospects of arms control, the collapse of East European communist regimes, and German unification, to name but the most spectacular features, present unprecedented challenges not only for political decision-makers, but also for the mass publics in democratic societies. What are the trends of public opinion on these issues and how do they reflect these changes ? By what factors are pertinent public attitudes shaped and what structures do emerge ? How can they be reliably assessed and meaningfully analyzed ? Which demands flow from the dynamics of public opinion that have to be taken into account in security policy making ? These are the key questions addressed by the twelve contributions to this volume. Combining longitudinal and comparative approaches they cover the public dimension of the national security debate in seven Western nations : Canada, Germany, Great Britain, Israel, Japan, the Netherlands, and the United States.

"Alexandre le Grand" is a lesser-known tragedy written by Jean Racine, the renowned French playwright. Set in the ancient world, the play explores the final days of Alexander the Great, delving into themes of ambition, hubris, mortality, and legacy. Unlike Racine's more celebrated works, this play offers a unique perspective on the famous historical figure and his introspective contemplation of power and mortality. While not as frequently performed, it showcases Racine's talent for dramatic storytelling and psychological depth.

Je suis, pour ma part, convaincue que le rôle essentiel du monde éducatif dans son ensemble est de permettre, par une véritable présence, l'émergence chez tous les partenaires de la situation d'apprentissage, de leur propre questionnement qui ouvre l'espace intérieur sur notre capacité matricielle, celui qui met en mouvement les co-acteurs, la personne en formation et ceux qui l'accompagnent, vers un lieu où il leur est possible d'actualiser leur potentiel. ... Si le questionnement est la véritable sève de l'arbre du savoir-apprendre, les différents acteurs de la situation de formation ne peuvent plus en faire l'économie pour leur propre parcours. I, for one, am convinced that the essential role of all the educational actors, through a genuine presence to each other, is to enable the emergence of personal inquiry which contributes to the opening up of our learning space. It also sets in motion the co-actors, the learner and those who accompany that learner toward a place where it is possible to actualize their own potential. ... If inquiry is the true sap of the tree of knowledge, the different actors in the educational setting can no longer do without it on their own journey.

More than ever before Japan is committed to becoming a science and technology-oriented nation. With the challenge of the Asian economic crisis in the late 1 990s, there is pressure on the Japanese economy to change. Japan continues to turn to science and technology to safeguard its future, but there is more than one path to follow. A team of three leading scholars in the field explore the dynamic relationship between science, technology and Japanese society, examining how it has contributed to economic growth and the well-being of the Japanese people. They ask if there is anything distinctively Japanese about Japanese science, in terms of both its development and application. This book presents a synthesis of recent debates by juxtaposing competing views about the role and direction of science, technology and medical care in Japan. Much of the book looks at government policy, the role of the private sector, and the response of concerned citizens. Other topics discussed include computers and communication, quality control and the automobile industry, the aerospace industry, the environment, consumer electronics, changes in medical care, and the role of gender. Part I explores the features of the Japanese model of research and development. It differentiates between basic and applied research and considers the question of cooperation versus competition in national R&D projects. Part 2 focuses on the relevance of science and technology to economic growth, and Part 3 examines the impact of globalisation on the flow of science and technology in and out of Japan. Part 4 critiques the concept of 'national interest', arguing that supposed national goals are often determined by powerful institutional or corporate groups with particular vested interests. This book is an ideal introductory text for students in the sociology of science and technology, the history and philosophy of science, and Japanese studies. Up-to-date research and contemporary case studies make this an invaluable resource for readers interested in the nature of science and technology in the twenty-first century.

Pierre Jean BRUNEL : Oti et dioti. Les enjeux métaphysiques de l'éthique aristotélicienne dans Woldemar de Friedrich Heinrich Jacobi While Aristotle's authority is being challenged by modern philosophy, Jacobi quotes from his Nicomachean Ethics in Woldemar. Daniel Jenisch's edition of the Aristotle Ethics proves to be a major source for the understanding of the novel's "philosophical intent" . What is the significance of such a philosophical revival of Aristotle as the result of the novel ?? To what extent does the variance between the "commercial society" and the ancient doctrine of virtue throw light upon ethical and metaphysical stakes ?? How does the novel handle the philosophical question of immediate knowledge ?? The reading of Nicomachean Ethics does provide us with a model of conversion for the crisis of the modern subject. Während die Autorität des Aristoteles von der modernen Philosophie in Frage gestellt wird, bezieht sich Jacobi in Woldemar auf die Nikomachische Ethik. Daniel Jenischs Übersetzung (1791) stellt eine wichtige Quelle dar, um die "philosophische Absicht" dieses Romanes zu verstehen. Was bedeutet diese Rückkehr des Aristoteles dank des Romans ?? Inwieweit hat der Konflikt zwischen der modernen commercial society und der alten Tugendlehre eine ethische und metaphysische Tragweite ?? Wie wird die philosophische Frage nach der unmittelbaren Erkenntnis im Roman behandelt ?? Bedeutet die Lektüre der Ethik ein Bekehrungsmodell für die Krise des modernen Subjektes ?? Ives Radrizzani : La Destination de l'homme - la réponse de Fichte à la Lettre ouverte de Jacobi ?? The Vocation of Man is Fichte's response to Jacobi. Fichte follows a double strategy : he provides us with his system of defense against the accusations made to the Doctrine of Science in the Letter to Fichte (subjectivism, solipsism, nihilism), on the other part, he tries to build a link to the non-knowledge of Jacobi. With the ternary structure of the work, Fichte shows its commitment to the position that was already his at the time of the Quarrel of pantheism : he still holds necessary a mediation of Knowledge between Doubt and Faith and doesn't agree the Jacobian salto mortale. But the Knowledge and the Faith staged in the last two books of the work are precisely calibrated to demonstrate to Jacobi their agreement in these two areas. The reaction of Jacobi shows the discrepancy between the expectations of Fichte and the result. Die Bestimmung des Menschen bringt Fichtes Antwort auf Jacobi. Fichte verfolgt zwei Ziele : es gilt auf der einen Seite für ihn, sein Verteidigungssystem gegen die im Brief an Fichte entgegen der Wissenschaftslehre geäußerten Anschuldigungen (Subjektivismus, Solipsismus, Nihilismus) darzustellen, auf der anderen Seite einen Übergang zum jacobischen Nichtwissen zu ermitteln. Mit der dreiteiligen Struktur der Schrift zeigt Fichte, daß er der Position, die er schon beim Pantheismusstreit vertrat, treu bleibt : er hält eine Vermittlung durch das Wissen zwischen dem Zweifel und dem Glauben für notwendig und setzt sich dem jacobischen salto mortale entgegen. Aber die in den zwei letzten Büchern der Schrift inszenierten Wissen und Glaube sind genau darauf abgezielt, um Jacobi ihre Übereinstimmung in jenen zwei Bereichen unter Beweis zu stellen. Jacobis Reaktion zeigt die ganze Diskrepanz zwischen Fichtes Erwartungen und dem Ergebnis. Patrick Cerutti : Naître à l'existence "Je me souviens de cet instant plein de joie et de trouble, où je sentis pour la première fois ma singulière existence" . This paper traces the historical evolution of a metaphor, the one of awakening or birth to being, as it appears in Buffon's, then Rousseau's, Jean Paul's and Jacobi's works. Jacobi, after many modifications of meaning, bases his whole conception of a feeling of existence on it, since it depends on the spirit rather than the senses. "Je me souviens de cet instant plein de joie et de trouble, où je sentis pour la première fois ma singulière existence" . Der vorliegende Artikel gibt die Geschichte der Metapher des Erweckens oder der Geburt zur Existenz wieder, wie sie in Werken Buffons, dann Rousseaus, Jean Pauls und Jacobis erscheint. Durch manche Bedeutungsveränderungen baut Jacobi auf diesem Bild seine ganze Konzeption des Gefühls der Existenz auf, insofern als sie eher von einem Gefühl des Geistes als von der Empfindung abhängt. Alain muzelle : Friedrich Schlegel lecteur critique de Jacobi Jacobis Woldemar is a review Friedrich Schlegel wrote in 1796 from the final version of the novel. With this work, the young writer inaugurates the series of his "Charakteristiken" . Under the influence of Fichte's philosophy, he develops a new form of criticism, a genetic method that explains the poetic works from the point of view of their progressive construction, on the basis that "one can understand a book or a mind only through reconstructing its internal dynamics" . After having showed the weakness of the plot and portrayed Woldemar as a vulgar and selfish immoralist, he refuses to acknowledge the work any specifically philosophical value, arguing that he cannot succeed in finding any consistency in the course of the argument. Finally, the profound unity of the book is to be found, for Schlegel, in the individuality of its creator, whom he defines as a "mystical sophist" . Mit Jacobis Woldemar, einer Rezension, die Friedrich Schlegel 1796 über die endgültige Fassung dieses Romans verfasst, entsteht die erste seiner Charakteristiken. Unter dem Einfluß von Fichtes Philosophie entwickelt Schlegel eine neue Art von Kritik, eine genetische Methode, welche die poetischen Werke aus ihrem Werden erklärt, da man erst "ein Werk, einen Geist [versteht], wenn man den Gang und Gliederbau nachkonstruieren kann". Nachdem er auf die innere Brüchigkeit der Romanhandlung hingewiesen und von der Titelgestalt das Porträt eines immoralistischen groben Egoisten entworfen hat, was ihn dazu führt, Jacobis ethische Lehre in Frage zu stellen, spricht er dem Werk jegliche echt philosophische Dimension ab, da es ihm an einer Kontinuität der philosophischen Gedankenführung fehle. Schlegel erkennt schließlich die eigentliche Grundeinheit des Romans in der Persönlichkeit des Schriftstellers selbst, den er als einen mystischen Sophisten definiert. Sylvie LE MOËL : La traduction française de Woldemar, "roman philosophique et sentimental" - une médiation avortée ?? This study proposes to reassess the only translation in French of the novel Woldemar, published soon after it appeared in Germany but which quickly sank into oblivion. As the first attempt of Franco-German mediation by the publicist Charles Vandenbourg, who, at the time, had emigrated to Germany, it represents an enlightening example of the philological and philosophical stakes specific to the Franco-German intellectual transfer around the 1800s. The current article analyses the initial conditions and the publishing modes of the transfer, the translation strategy of Charles Vandenbourg as well as the revealing role played by the text in resetting the intellectual fields under the Directoire. Although it was a failure, this translation lead up to the penetration of Jacobi's philosophy in France, in a context of the philosophical debates opposing the Idealists and the Ideologists, later echoed by Madame de Staël. Vorliegender Beitrag untersucht die einzige französische Übersetzung von Jacobis Roman Woldemar, die zwar kurz nach der deutschen Originalfassung erschien, dafür aber schnell in Vergessenheit geriet. Als erster Versuch deutsch-französischer Vermittlung durch den nach Deutschland emigrierten französischen Publizisten Charles Vanderbourg stellt sie ein einleuchtendes Beispiel für den philologischen und philosophischen deutsch-französischen Transfer um 1800 dar. Die Studie befasst sich mit den Ausgangsbedingungen und den verlegerischen Modi des Transfers sowie mit Vanderbourgs Übersetzungsstrategien, wobei der französische Text die Neugestaltung des französischen intellektuellen Feldes zur Zeit des Direktoriums erkennen lässt. Dieser scheinbar gescheiterte Transfer nimmt also doch die Einführung von Jacobis Philosophie in Frankreich vorweg, und zwar im Kontext von Debatten zwischen Idealisten und Ideologen, an die Madame de Staël kurz darauf anknüpft. Norbert WASZEK : La référence à Adam Ferguson dans Woldemar de Friedrich Heinrich Jacobi At the centre of this article is an analysis of the presence of Adam Ferguson, a leading member of the Scottish Enlightenment, in Jacobi's philosophical "novel" Woldemar. Although often neglected by Jacobi scholarship, Ferguson is mentioned and quoted approvingly on several occasions in Woldemar, and his implicit impact might reach even further. Initially, the ground for such an analysis is prepared by recalling the empirical evidence for Jacobi's reading of Ferguson as is to be found in the catalogue of his personal library and in his voluminous correspondence. Then, standing back from details of the reception, the wider question is opened, whether an appropriate appreciation of Jacobi's indebtedness to Ferguson might contribute to a correction of certain older images and clichés of Jacobi's thought. Der Beitrag geht einem noch zu wenig beachteten Bezugspunkt von Jacobis Woldemar nach, dem schottischen Philosophen Adam Ferguson, welcher in Jacobis Buch mehrfach ausdrücklich und zustimmend erwähnt und zitiert wird und dessen Einfluss implizit vermutlich noch weiter reicht. Vor dieser zentralen Analyse werden einleitend noch weitere Belege für Jacobis Beschäftigung mit Ferguson aus seinem Briefwechsel und seinen Bibliotheksbeständen vorgestellt und eine kurze Charakterisierung von Fergusons Werk geboten. Ein Ausblick nimmt ein wenig Abstand von den Einzelheiten der Rezeption und eröffnet die weiterführende Frage, ob eine angemessene Würdigung seiner Lektüre von Ferguson dazu beitragen kann, noch immer verbreitete Klischees über Jacobis Denken zu korrigieren. Niall Bond : Ferdinand Tönnies und seine Wechselwirkungen mit der französischsprachigen Welt Research on the institutional establishment of sociology in Europe has for the most part ignored exchanges between the earliest leading French and German sociologists. Yet our research in Ferdinand Tönnies' estate in Kiel has shown us that there were fruitful exchanges and mutual effects between Tönnies and Emile Durkheim, René Worms, Gabriel Tarde and other French-speaking sociologists and philosophers. At the same time, constructions and representations of national traits were obstacles to the fluid transfer of scientific interests and knowledge even across the borders of Europe. This becomes particularly clear when we read Tönnies' and Durkheim's writings during the Great War. Nevertheless, the transposing of Tönnies, who had resisted National Socialism, to other cultural contexts such as the French-speaking world made it possible to deal with his thought in a more neutral and objective fashion than was possible in post-war Germany, which had been traumatised by the recuperation of the term "Volksgemeinschaft" by the Nazis. Dans une grande mesure, la recherche sur la mise en place institutionnelle de la sociologie en Europe a fait jusqu'alors abstraction des échanges entre les premiers sociologues français et allemands. En puisant dans les archives de Ferdinand Tönnies à Kiel, nous constatons toutefois des échanges fructueux et des actions réciproques entre Tönnies et Emile Durkheim, René Worms, Gabriel Tarde et d'autres sociologues et philosophes de langue française. En même temps, les constructions et les représentations de traits nationaux représentaient autant d'obstacles à un passage fluide d'interrogations scientifiques et de savoirs même à travers les frontières de l'Europe. Cela devient surtout clair à la lumière des écrits de Tönnies et de Durkheim sous l'influence de la Grande Guerre. Cependant la transposition de Tönnies, résistant au nazisme, à d'autres aires culturelles comme l'aire francophone a permis un traitement davantage neutre et objectif que celui qui a été possible dans une culture allemande de l'après-guerre traumatisée par l'exploitation du terme de "Volksgemeinschaft" par les nazis. Sonja VANDERLINDEN : Journal fictif, vie romancée, roman, mémoires, confession. Le cas de Tine of de dalen waar het leven woont (1987) de Nelleke Noordervliet The central theme of this contribution is the interaction between fiction and reality in Noordervliet's novel about Multatuli's wife. Speaking is Everdine van Wijnbergen during the last months of her life ?; in a fictional diary she looks back on episodes out of her whole life, with or without Douwes Dekker at her side. This fictional (auto)biography of a historical person is also a confession, an introspection, a self-examination. In this novel three "Tines" appear side by side : the real Everdine, Multatuli's and Max Havelaar's idealized Tine, and Noordervliet's Tine. Nelleke Noordervliet gives a voice to this writer's wife ?; she brings her out of the shadows and offers a nuanced and complex image of her personality. De rode draad in deze bijdrage is het spel met fictie en realiteit in Noordervliets roman over de vrouw van Multatuli. De auteur laat Everdine van Wijnbergen aan het woord tijdens haar laatste levensmaanden ?; in een fictief dagboek kijkt zij terug op episodes uit haar gehele leven, met of zonder Douwes Dekker aan haar zij. Deze fictieve (auto)biografie van een historisch personage is tegelijkertijd ook een biecht, een introspectie, een gewetensonderzoek. In deze roman komen drie "Tines" naast elkaar te staan : de werkelijke Everdine, de geïdealiseerde Tine van Multatuli en van Max Havelaar, en de Tine van Noordervliet. Nelleke Noordervliet geeft een stem aan deze schrijversvrouw, haalt haar uit de schaduw en biedt een genuanceerd en complex beeld van haar persoonlijkheid.

Ce recueil rassemble quarante-sept chansons dont huit sont initialement écrites en kabyle. Elles sont toutes traduites du français en anglais. Quarante de ces chansons figurent dans la trilogie "Le murmure du figuier bleu". Elles évoquent tour à tour la nostalgie du pays natal, la solitude, la nature, l'amour, la tendresse, le jardin d'enfant, Venise, les voyages, la vieillesse, le temps perdu et bien d'autres thèmes encore. Ce sont des fenêtres, des lignes de fuite, des accès vers d'autres mondes quand celui dans lequel nous luttons ne nous apporte plus la bonne respiration. This collection gathers forty seven songs among which eight are initially written in Kabyle. They are all translated from French in English. Forty of these songs appear in the trilogy "The rustle of the blue fig tree". They evoke alternately the nostalgia for the native country, the solitude, the nature, love, tenderness, child's garden, Venice, journeys, old age, the lost time and many others themes still. They are windows, base lines, accesses towards other worlds when the one in which we fight does not bring us anymore the good breath.

This book examines the Brechtian influence on Roger Planchon's three stagings of Brecht's The Good Person of Szechwan (July 1954 ; October 1954 ; December 1958). The meaning of a Brechtian mise en scène is determined by an analysis of the Berliner Ensemble production of the same play (1957). A comparison of these stagings not only reveals the clash between the German and French theatrical traditions but the German mise en scène also provides a point of reference which underlines the similarities and differences between Planchon's and Brecht's staging methods.

"Rothery does an excellent job of synthesizing the research inspired by the Voyager missions into a coherent description of outer solar system geology." -Jonathan I. Lunine, Sky & Telescope "A highly readable, respectably accurate and complete nontechnical summary of planetary satellites for general and scientific audiences." -Paul M. Schenk, Icarus "Rothery brings these satellites to life." -David Hughes, New Scientist. "The depth and authority of the treatment of physical geological processes makes this a good introduction to the outer satellites for undergraduate students, while the clarity of the text ensures that things do not become too complicated for less expert readers." -Lionel Wilson, Times Higher Eduation Supplement. Extensively revised and updated, this new edition of this acclaimed geological guide to the outer solar system includes results and close-up color and black-and-white images from both the 1995-1999 Galileo mission to Jupiter and the Voyager space probe. Rothery explains the geological aspects of the major satellites of the outer planets, from Jupiter to Neptune and the Pluto-Charon system. In particular he shows how tectonic and volcanic processes, driven by heat from within, have shaped the rigid outer layers of these worlds. Rothery also discusses the similarities and differences among them and the ways in which they resemble Earth-like planets.

Fra Francesc Moner (1462/3-1491/2) is a Catalan author, who flourished in Barcelona during the second decade subsequent to the marriage of Ferdinand of Aragon and Isabella of Castile in 1469. Moner's extant production amounts to seventy-four pieces, a collection of poems and prose works of various genres, written in Catalan and in Castilian. A comprehensive study that profiles the creativity of a whole career is a rare occurrence for a Hispanic author like Moner, whose lifetime straddles the boundaries between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. This book highlights the two main aspects of Fra Francesc's contribution : first, the resourceful bilingualism stemming from Moner's mastery of not only his native Catalan but also Castilian, the language that in the late 1400s kept gaining the ascendancy and prestige of officialdom throughout the Spanish realm ; second, the fashioning of an iconic text of subjectivity in the wake of the landmark innovations brought about by Ausiàs March, the Valencian luminary of the first half of the fifteenth century. Moner develops a love-centered poetics that integrates the distinctive strains of multiple traditions. By probing into Moner's poetics of love and reason, the reader catches a glimpse of an author engaged in intense soul-searching. Moner, in turn, shares with his readers some extraordinary insights into the compelling moments of the human condition – precisely the condition of the human being torn between the allure of the flesh and the aspiration toward the Divine.

New, corrected edition of MacMillan's breakthrough work, a sensation at the 1990 BBC Proms. The work is now firmly established in the contemporary orchestral repertoire worldwide and championed by leading conductors. Isobel Gowdie, from Nairn, Scotland, was publically executed in 1662 amid scenes of hysterical fright and sadism, one of 4, 500 who perished during the Scottish Reformation because their contemporaries thought they were witches. The composer remarks, "Initially I was drawn by the dramatic and programmatic potential of this insane and terrible story but the work soon developed a far more emotional core as I attempted to draw together various strands in a single, complicated act of contrition. On behalf of the Scottish people the work craves absolution and offers Isobel Gowdie the mercy and humanity that was denied her in the last days of her life. To do this I have tried to capture the soul of Scotland in music, and the outer sections contain a multitude of chants, songs and litanies (real and imagined) coming together in a reflective outpouring - a prayer for the murdered woman. This work is the Requiem that Isobel Gowdie never had". Instrumentation : orchestra

The historiography concerning The War of the Jews by Flavius Josephus has underlined the various aspects (economic, social, political, religious) of the Roman-Jewish conflict from 66 to 73 AD. A study of the Jew's vision of himself and the Other, the Roman, makes it possible to see this conflict from the point of view of the conquered. Analysis of the events which, from 6 to 66 AD, resulted in the opening of hostilities, suggests that the Jewish-Roman conflict was also a conflict of mentalities. The Jewish mentality implies a concept of war which contributed to the development of the divisions and schisms between the supporters of full-scale war against Rome (the Zealots) and the non-belligerents (Rabbi Yohanan ben Zaccaï and the Yavne School, Flavius Josephus). Furthermore, the discourse of Flavius Josephus is Jewish discourse. So far as certain options are concerned, such as his rejection of the war against Rome on the one hand, and his hatred of the Zealots on the other, a literal reading of that discourse shows that they are in the direct line of Jewish tradition as represented by RYBZ and his Yavne School. Josephus can be taken literally ; the interest of his writing lies in its presentation of an internal cohesion and in the light that throws on the points of convergence and divergence in the same Pharisaic options. Finally, Josephus' text leads us to reconsider the problem of his 'betrayal'.

Nous appelons à une vision élargie à l'ensemble de la planète et au long terme, qui considère que le droit à la vie oblige absolument. La beauté qui oblige ne se limite pas à la beauté de la nature, mais décrit bien plus encore la beauté des actions visant à la sauver. La beauté en question est la beauté dite morale dont relève notre responsabilité de protéger. Aussi, nous proposons la dignité à titre de nouveau paradigme pour penser, orienter et imprégner les actions visant à préserver les écosystèmes mondiaux et à assainir les relations humaines concernées, car la dignité est la cause la plus fondamentale de toute action d'aide et parce que le respect de "la dignité inhérente à tous les membres de la famille humaine", telle qu'elle est énoncée dans la Déclaration universelle des droits de l'homme de 1948, appelle au respect de notre oikos ("habitat") auquel renvoie le mot "écologie", bref de notre "maison commune". The French text is followed by its translation in English. We propose the notion of "dignity" as a new paradigm for thinking about, orienting, and motivating actions that aim to preserve our global ecosystems and to improve the human relations involved therein.

The mere fact of existing is already a battle of every moment, but that of being born a woman is seen as the most arduous of battles, in a society that considers women not only less than men, but below men. The simple attributes devolved to human being are sometimes denied to them, under the indifferent eye of the society. Who is to blame for this general contemptuous attitude vis-à-vis the woman ? The man ? Society ? Or the woman herself ? Woman parenthood, excision, rape, sexual harassment, the prison, early marriages and widowhood are core points tackled in the seven short stories of this book where the main characters ; Micheline, Amina, Jenaëlle, Ann-Lise, Lucie, Violet and Bernadette shall each take the reader through their stories using their own words. Based on true stories, these fictions are a personal move to throw more light on the stumbling blocks faced by the woman in her struggle for optimal fulfillment. Through the life stories clearly depicted in this book, most readers can picture their own lives, the lives of a mother, a sister, a friend or a daughter. Two objectives constitute the backbone of this book ; draw attention on the way the woman is perceived by the African society and Cameroon in particular and raise awareness in the woman so that she can come to understand that the key to her destiny lies within herself and nowhere else. Hence the need to portray womanhood as society sees it : a handicap.

"A book of quick and sharp thoughts on a grand theme is a novel way of paying tribute to a leading philosopher. But it has worked beautifully here, both as a stimulating book of ideas on justice, and as a fitting recognition of the intellectual contributions of Philippe Van Parijs, who is one of the most original and most creative thinkers of our time". Amartya Sen, Harvard University, 1998 Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences This book brings together fifty of today's finest thinkers. They were asked to let their imaginations run free to advance new ideas on a wide range of social and political issues. They did so as friends, on the occasion of Philippe Van Parijs's sixtieth birthday. Rather than restricting themselves to comments on his numerous writings, the authors engage with the topics on which he has focused his attention over the years, especially with the various dimensions of justice, its scope, and its demands. They discuss issues ranging from the fair distribution of marriage opportunities to the limits of argumentation in a democracy, the deep roots of inequality, the challenges to basic income and the requirements of linguistic justice. They provide ample food for thought for both academic and general readers.

Monet peint les fumées de la gare Saint-Lazare, Renoir saisit les reflets du Pont-Neuf dans la Seine, Pissarro figure l'avenue de l'Opéra depuis une chambre d'hôtel, Manet immortalise les serveuses de café de Pigalle, Caillebotte restitue les perspectives haussmanniennes... Tout autant que la côte normande ou la vallée de la Seine, Paris inspire les impressionnistes. Entre son fleuve et ses grands ciels, la capitale ne manque ni de nature ni de texture pour des palettes avides de saisir les jeux de la lumière. En prime, la ville apporte l'animation de ses rues, de ses métiers, de ses cafés, de ses loisirs... Monet painted smoke clouding the Gare Saint-Lazare, Renoir captured the Pont Neuf's reflections in the Seine, Pissarro portrayed Avenue de l'Opéra from his hotel room, Manet immortalized waitresses in a café at Pigalle, Caillebotte depicted Haussmannian perspectives... The Normandy coast and the Seine Valley were not the only inspirations for Impressionists –Paris was as well. Between its river and its tall skies, the French capital lacked neither nature nor textures for artists intent on encapsulating plays on light. Not to mention the bonus of the city's lively streets, workers, cafés and entertainment...

He made his debut in 1963, in Tales of Suspense No. 39, wearing a cumbersome gray exoskeleton that looked more like a robot than a man.
