Résumé:
Nous sommes en 1943, Hannah Arendt s’est exilée aux États-Unis et écrit ces pages dans la langue de sa patrie d’adoption. Jusqu’à l’extermination des Juifs, le terme 'réfugié' désignait un individu contraint à trouver refuge en raison d’un acte ou d’une opinion politique. Désormais, ce sont ceux qui débarquent, privés de moyens, dans un nouveau pays et recherchent de l’aide auprès de comités de réfugiés. Hannah Arendt exprime la difficulté à évoquer ce passé tout récent. Pas d’histoires d’enfance ou de fantômes donc, mais le regard rivé sur l’avenir et, si possible, prédit par le ciel plutôt qu’inscrit dans la terre.

Résumé:
The aim of this book is a recovery of interest in the experience of meaning. Jan Zwicky defends the claim that we experience meaning in the apprehension of wholes and their internal structural relations, providing examples of such insight in mathematics and physics, literature, music, and Plato's ancient theory of forms. Taken together, these essays constitute a powerful(...)

Résumé:
The aim of this book is a recovery of interest in the experience of meaning. Jan Zwicky defends the claim that we experience meaning in the apprehension of wholes and their internal structural relations, providing examples of such insight in mathematics and physics, literature, music, and Plato's ancient theory of forms. Taken together, these essays constitute a powerful indictment of the aggressive reductionism and the reliance on calculative modes of thought that dominate our present conception of understanding. "The Experience of Meaning" proposes a more just epistemology, arguing for a new grammar of thought, a new way of understanding the relationship of human intelligence to the world. Engaging with philosophy, psychology, literature, fine arts, music, and environmental studies in a profound way, "The Experience of Meaning" will interest any reader who ponders the question of meaning and its relation to true human expression.

Résumé:
The fourth edition of the ‘Intercalations’ series borrows its title from a 1972 science fiction novella by Ursula K. Le Guin posing ethical questions about ecocidal violence. In response to their violent destruction, which characterises our current epoch, these pages traverse woodlands by way of their semiotic, socio-political, historical, and epistemic incitements in order to reveal how practices of care, concern, and attention enable humans to inhabit this world and flourish. The exercise creates space to consider how forests can enable experiences of elegance, affirmation, and creation for a multitude of creatures. Includes contributions by Pedro Neves Margues, Eduardo Kohn, and more.

Résumé:
The ‘Intercalations’ series is an experimental foray exploring the structure of the book as a potential curatorial space. This third instalment, co-edited by Anna-Sophie Springer and Etienne Turpin, unfolds an itinerant encounter with 19th-century European naturalists in the Malay world, where the theory of evolution by natural selection emerged alongside less celebrated concerns about mass extinction and climate change. By re-considering the condition of colonial science in the tropics, we may find particular relevance for confronting forms of neo-colonisation in the Anthropocene. With contributions by George Beccaloni, Lucy Davis, Paulo Tavares, Rachel Thompson, and several others.
