First published in French in 1839 as an appendix to Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin's "Physiology of Taste", this Treatise was at once Balzac's effort at addressing what he perceived to be an oversight in that cornerstone of gastronomic literature; a chapter toward his never-completed body of analytic studies (alongside such essays as "Treatise on Elegant Living") that were to form an overarching "pathology of social life"; and a meditation on the impact of pleasure and excess on the body and the role they play in shaping society.

On Aira's path, everything comes under question - from reproducibility of artworks to the value of the written word itself. In the end, Aira leaves us stranded on the bridge between writing and art that he set out to construct in the first place. Like the great writers Walter Benjamin and Hermann Broch before him, Aira operates in the space between fiction and essay writing, art and analysis. Pursuing questions about reproducibility, art making, and limits of language, Aira's unique voice adds new insights to the essential conversations that continue to inform our understanding of art.

Summary:
Bruno Latour est un des philosophes contemporains les plus influents. Ses études ethnographiques ont révolutionné notre compréhension des sciences, du droit, de la politique et de la religion. Il nous propose une philosophie et une approche des sciences sociales radicalement nouvelles, fondées sur un point de vue réaliste, matérialiste sur le monde. Dans ses livres fondateurs, il proposait de renoncer aux vieilles distinctions propres à la pensée "moderne" occidentale - en particulier entre nature et société - au profit d'une nouvelle description du monde dans lequel nous vivons. Elle l'a conduit à accorder une importance considérable à la crise écologique et au rôle des sciences en démocratie. La "philosophie empirique" de Latour a évolué au fil du temps. Gerard de Vries expose avec clarté le cheminement et la logique de tous les travaux et enquêtes qu'il a menés au cours des quarante dernières années.
