Bøger af Dominique Janicaud

The ideal introduction history of western philosophy: An illuminating discourse on the major thinkers, from Plato to Descartes to Nietzsche.A small marvel, A Beginner's Guide to Philosophy provides an instructive and delightful introduction to philosophy. Despite its brevity, this beginner's guide covers a vast range of authors and topics. The reader will find discussions of ancient and modern philosophy, beginning with the pre-Socratic thinkers, before moving on to Plato and Aristotle. The narrative then proceeds to an elegant survey of modern philosophers: Descartes, Nietzche, Kant, and Hegel. At the end of this poignant yet practical intellectual journey, Dominique Janicaud at last addresses the problems that have occupied thinkers through the ages: the existence of God, the meaning of life, human nature, and the question of freedom.

Phenomenology and the "Theological Turn" brings together the debate over Janicaud's critique of the "theological turn" represented by the works of Emmanuel Levinas, Paul Ric/ur, Jean-Luc Marion, Jean-Francois Courtine, Jean-Louis Chretien, and Michel Henry.
