  • Portrait

    par Jean-Luc Nancy ...
    Traduit par Sarah Clift, Simon Sparks ...
    Collections series Lit Z
    This book examines the practice of portraits as a way in to grasping the paradoxes of subjectivity.

    Collections series signale|TRANSFER: German Thought in Translation

The future, meanwhile, has lost its utopian glamor, with the belief in progress ... En savoir plus

  • Committing the Future to Memory

    History, Experience, Trauma

    par Sarah Clift ...
    Whereas historical determinacy conceives the past as a complex and unstable network of causalities, this book asks how history can be related to a more radical future. To pose that question, it does not reject determinacy outright but rather seeks to explore how it works. In examining what it means to be “determined” by history, it also asks what kind of openings there might be in our encounters ... En savoir plus

  • The Expanding Circle

    Ethics, Evolution, and Moral Progress

    What is ethics? Where do moral standards come from? Are they based on emotions, reason, or some innate sense of right and wrong? For many scientists, the key lies entirely in biology--especially in Darwinian theories of evolution and self-preservation. But if evolution is a struggle for survival, why are we still capable of altruism?In his classic study The Expanding Circle, Peter Singer argues ... En savoir plus
