Philippe Rousseau proposes an interpretation of the Iliad which is based on an analysis of the logic that is immanent to the construction of the plot, and which responds to the demand for the deciphering of meaning expressed by the poet in the fifth line of the poem.

Do we know what we are doing when we are reading texts ? Do we know what we are understanding when we become readers ?
Jean Bollack, Patrick Llored
Ethics philosophy always used the concepts of obligation, sanction, and of ethical models. Guyau, being a critical thinker of the idea of evolution, suggests that ethics should be considered in light of a vital imperative. He also deems that - if correctly understood- the anomic capacity of life generates a plurality of ways for obligation to...

Establishing the art of interpretation as a science, that is the objective of G. Fr. Meier's Essay of 1757, the systematic treatise of the most accomplished hermeneutics of Enlightenment rationalism.

Judging from the way it was received since Antiquity, the nature of Horace's Ars poetica should not be questioned. However, its stylistic and enunciative characteristics urge the readers to reconsider this old assumption
Pour une redéfinition du statut de l'œuvre

The examination of Humboldt's commentators eventually draws a contrasting image of his work, which is entirely devoted, notably through the study of linguistics and languages, to answering the fundamental question: what is man ?
Jean Quillien
Elucidate the enigma of language fiction by determining its real criteria, after eliminating false beliefs - this is the goal of this book. Admittedly, the matter was closed for several decades, but closed on grounds that don't stand a linguistic-philosophical examination.
Essai de sémantique intégrée
Marta Krol
Is dialogue at the center of our social life ? Is it today a pillar of our democracy ? A remedy in the conflict, or a rampart against the passions and the violence? What exchanges does it allow between elected representatives and citizens, or between experts and laymen? This book tries to answer these questions using the criticism of the theories..
Discussion, traduction, participation

Giving and recognizing are two basic features of social human activities. But can they be considered as being perfectly identical? Besides, which links do they both have to the dimension of social domination? Those are the questions raised within the volume that crisscrosses different theoretical approaches in order to answer them.
Trois modèles en philosophie sociale
Louis Carré, Alain Loute
The intelligence necessary to attribute meaning to literary texts relies on the intelligence embodied in the texts themselves. This thought leads Christoph König to ask : How shall we read the works of Schiller, Friedrich Schlegel, Uhland, Rilke, Kafka and Celan ?

Les mythes grecs et latins ont été transmis par les poètes et par les mythographes. Mais, quoique leur rôle ait été décisif, ces derniers ont été peu étudiés. Une des raisons en est que leur activité n'a jamais été constituée en genre, leurs pratiques étant aussi diverses que complexes. Ce volume, issu des travaux du groupe de recherches...
Formes, usages et visées des pratiques mythographiques de l'Antiquité à la Renaissance

Dans les tragédies grecques, le savoir est souvent dangereux. L'universalité de leurs héros et la richesse des réécritures qu’ils ont inspirées tiennent en partie à leur capacité à incarner l’ambivalence d’une connaissance vitale et destructrice. La tragédie grecque est par nature un lieu privilégié de mise en œuvre des conflits intérieurs et...
Les dangers de la connaissance dans les tragédies grecques et leur postérité
Hélène Vial, Anne de Cremoux
L'aspect et le temps sont des catégories universelles mais représentées dans chaque type de langues différemment. Ces catégories sont abordées à partir des idées qu’elles portent indépendamment des formes qu’elles peuvent prendre dans chaque langue. Cette approche constitue l’originalité principale de cet ouvrage qui donne un éclairage nouveau...
