Summary:
In 1971, at the height of the Vietnam War and at a time of great political and social instability, two of the world’s leading intellectuals, Noam Chomsky and Michel Foucault, were invited by Dutch philosopher Fons Elders to debate an age-old question: is there such a thing as "innate" human nature independent of our experiences and external influences? The resulting dialogue is one of the most original, provocative, and spontaneous exchanges to have occurred between contemporary philosophers, and above all serves as a concise introduction to their basic theories. What begins as a philosophical argument rooted in linguistics (Chomsky) and the theory of knowledge (Foucault), soon evolves into a broader discussion encompassing a wide range of topics, from science, history, and behaviorism to creativity, freedom, and the struggle for justice in the realm of politics. In addition to the debate itself, this volume features a newly written introduction by Foucault scholar John Rajchman and includes substantial additional texts by Chomsky and Foucault.

Summary:
L’architecture de Maurice Sauzet s’est construite en dehors, si ce n’est à rebours de la pensée moderniste. Son vocabulaire, en harmonie avec l’homme et le paysage, puise au contraire dans le registre évanescent des émotions et des perceptions ; une orientation fondatrice qu’il doit à sa découverte, très tôt dans sa carrière, de l’architecture traditionnelle japonaise et de l’esprit du bouddhisme zen. Destiné à nourrir l’inspiration des architectes d’aujourd’hui, et propre à aider de futurs habitants à clarifier leurs désirs, cet ouvrage a été pensé comme un manuel, un outil concret au service d’une conception au diapason du monde. S’appuyant sur deux réalisations, une création et une rénovation de maisons, l’auteur y livre pas à pas les principes de sa pensée et sa méthode de travail. Au centre : la prise en compte des attentes de ceux qui y vivront, l’ajustement subtil au site de construction et, par-dessus tout, la recherche directrice de « prises sensibles ».
