Summary:
Much postmodern rhetoric, suggests Karsten Harries, can be understood as a symptom of our civilization's discontent, born of regret that we are no longer able to experience our world as a cosmos that assigns us our place. But dissatisfaction with the modern world may also spring from a conviction that modernism has failed to confront the challenge of an inevitably open(...)

Summary:
Much postmodern rhetoric, suggests Karsten Harries, can be understood as a symptom of our civilization's discontent, born of regret that we are no longer able to experience our world as a cosmos that assigns us our place. But dissatisfaction with the modern world may also spring from a conviction that modernism has failed to confront the challenge of an inevitably open future. Such conviction has frequently led to a critique of modernity's founding heroes. Challenging that critique, Harries insists that modernity is supported by nothing other than human freedom. But more important to Harries is to show how modernist self-assertion is shadowed by nihilism and what it might mean to step out of that shadow. Looking at a small number of medieval and Renaissance texts, as well as some paintings, he uncovers the threshold that separates the modern from the premodern world. At the same time, he illuminates that other, more questionable threshold, between the modern and the postmodern. Two spirits preside over the book: Alberti, the Renaissance author on art and architecture, whose passionate interest in perspective and point of view offers a key to modernity; and Nicolaus Cusanus, the fifteenth-century cardinal, whose work shows that such interest cannot be divorced from speculations on the infinity of God. The title Infinity and Perspective connects the two to each other and to the shape of modernity.

Summary:
"Vitruvius’s De architectura" is the only major work on architecture to survive from classical antiquity, and until the eighteenth century it was the text to which all other architectural treatises referred. While European classicists have focused on the factual truth of the text itself, English-speaking architects and architectural theorists have viewed it as a timeless source of valuable metaphors. Departing from both perspectives, Indra Kagis McEwen examines the work’s meaning and significance in its own time. Vitruvius dedicated De architectura to his patron Augustus Caesar, the first Roman emperor, whose rise to power inspired its composition near the end of the first century B.C. McEwen argues that the imperial project of world dominion shaped Vitruvius’s purpose in writing what he calls "the whole body of architecture." Specifically, Vitruvius’s aim was to present his discipline as the means for making the emperor’s body congruent with the imagined body of the world he would rule.

Summary:
Cet essai veut apporter une contribution à l'analyse de la modernité. Il se situe dans une perspective phénoménologique, tout en étant plus proche de la pensée de Lévinas que de celle de Heidegger. Au lieu de présenter la modernité comme un système rationnel, ce texte la décrit comme une "double rupture" avec l'intériorité : la modernité effectue une coupure souvent violente avec la tradition, et elle veut amener l'homme à une nouvelle manière d'être au monde. Plus que sous la forme d'une recherche d'autonomie, il faut donc concevoir la modernité en des termes d'inquiétude et d'espoir. L'architecture moderne, phénomène central de la modernité, vise à réformer le monde vécu afin de rendre possible une existence nouvelle, un "esprit nouveau". Les textes et les oeuvres de Le Corbusier expriment une telle volonté de briser les habitudes anciennes par la transformation de l'espace architectural et par la création d'une poésie nouvelle. L'essai situe la pensée de Le Corbusier dans l'horizon de l'idéologie moderne et l'on souligne la parenté de ses idées avec celles de Gide et de Nietzsche. La modernité veut concevoir l'homme comme un "être mondain" : mais par rapport à un modernisme excessif qui promeut l'idée d'une existence entièrement tournée vers le dehors,il s'agit de sauvegarder une distance au monde.
