Images have been a remarkably constant preoccupation for the phenomenological tradition. From Husserl’s early investigation of “image-consciousness” on, with its threefold conceptual articulation of material Bildding, appearing Bildobjekt, and referential Bildsujet (Hua XXIII), phenomenological accounts of the image can …

It is now four decades since Geoffrey Cantor, reviewing the Porter and Rousseau collection of 1981 entitled The Ferment of Knowledge, observed that the eighteenth century is for historians of science a “problem”, and indeed a multiple problem: the period had long been a “grey area on the historical chart”, with no Newton or Faraday …

Recent art historical scholarship has enriched and renewed our understanding of Michelangelo Merisi’s work in its historical as well as technical and iconographical aspects.

This collection of essays will provide the reader with new perspectives on one of the most crucial topics in Spinoza’s philosophy: expression. The ubiquity of this concept pervades all the works of Spinoza, constituting one of the main traits that emphasize his uniqueness in the history of Western thought. The issue thus serves a dual purpose: …

L’herméneutique représente une sorte de fil rouge qui traverse la traductologie de Jean-René Ladmiral, mais qu’il n’avait pas encore complètement explicité à ce jour. Son discours théorique, tout en s’appuyant sur la pratique, fait référence principalement à des catégories linguistiques, philosophiques et psychologiques. En général, la dimension herméneutique de la traduction n’apparaît pas clairement comme …
