Understanding Kant

Thibaut Gress

Avec Descartes, Kant est l’auteur phare de la modernité : son influence dans les sciences, la morale, la politique et l’esthétique, est considérable. Une grande partie des dilemmes éthiques (biologie, médecine…) font référence aujourd’hui à la pensée kantienne. Connaître sa philosophie apparaît comme un impératif pour s’orienter à travers les grandes questions qui innervent notre modernité. 
Le présent ouvrage expose ainsi les traits saillants de la réflexion kantienne et propose une interprétation de celle-ci, rompant avec le cliché d’un Kant humaniste plaçant l’homme au-dessus de tout. Il défend l’idée que l’homme est un des échantillons les plus imparfaits du véritable objet de la pensée kantienne, à savoir l’être raisonnable en général.

The Weather Man - :Overcoming...

Terrell J Brown

Terrell J. Brown’s The Weather Man examines the fragile harmony between internal and external factors that form our lives, utilizing the metaphor of weather to depict the emotional and psychological crises we endure.

The path to stability is not easy—it involves deep self-awareness, confrontation with difficult facts, and the bravery to reorient one’s internal compass.

Pacific The: In The Wake of...

Anonym

A rich, complex and engaging account of Cook's voyages across the Pacific, from actor and raconteur Sam Neill. 
  
Captain James Cook first set sail to the Pacific in 1768, just over 250 years ago. These vast waters, one third of the earth's surface, were uncharted but not unknown. A rich diversity of people and cultures navigated, traded, lived and fought here for thousands of years. Before Cook, the Pacific was disconnected from the power and ideas of Europe, Asia and America. In the wake of Cook, everything changed.  
The Pacific with Sam Neill is the companion book to the Foxtel documentary series of the same name, in which actor and raconteur Sam Neill takes a deeply personal, present-day voyage to map his own understanding of James Cook, Europe's greatest navigator, and the immense Pacific Ocean itself.  
Voyaging on a wide variety on vessels, from container ships to fishing trawlers and sailing boats, Sam crosses the length and breadth of the largest ocean in the world to experience for himself a contemporary journey in Cook's footsteps, engaging the past and present in both modern and ancient cultural practice and peoples.  
Fascinating, engaging, fresh and vital - this is history ... but not as you know it.

The Great Illusion

Norman Angell

"The Great Illusion" by Norman Angell is a thought-provoking analysis of international relations and the causes of war. First published in 1909, the book challenges the prevailing view of the time that war was a necessary and inevitable component of international politics. 
Angell argues that the economic interdependence of nations in the modern world makes war irrational and self-defeating. He contends that war can no longer bring about the benefits it did in the past and that the cost of modern warfare would outweigh any potential gains. In this sense, he argues that the belief in the benefits of war is a "great illusion". 
Angell's analysis is a precursor to the current debate on globalization and the interdependence of nations in the 21st century. He presents a powerful case for international cooperation, arguing that peace and prosperity can only be achieved through mutual understanding and collaboration among nations. 
"The Great Illusion" is a seminal work in the field of international relations and a must-read for anyone interested in the causes of war and the prospects for peace in the modern world. It is a powerful reminder of the importance of diplomacy and cooperation in solving the complex problems of our time
