What do we really know about the nature of the universe, and about what is hidden in the dark depths of space? Navigator Captain John Bowman is the sole survivor of an exploratory mission to the far reaches of the cosmos. Upon his return, he is plagued by terrible nightmares... but also endowed with an extraordinary power. A power capable of destroying our world... or perhaps reshaping it?

This book investigates what Bataille, in "The Pineal Eye," calls mythological representation: the mythological anthropology with which this unusual thinker wished to outflank and undo scientific (and philosophical) anthropology. Gasché probes that anthropology by situating Bataille's thought with respect to the quatrumvirate of Schelling, Hegel, Nietzsche, and Freud. He begins by showing what Bataille's understanding of the mythological owes to Schelling....

Comment faire face à ses peurs, surmonter ses angoisses, maîtriser son anxiété ou vaincre une phobie ? Avec Peurs, angoisses, phobies, par ici la sortie ! Rodolphe Oppenheimer, psychanalyste français de renom, propose aux lecteurs un ouvrage avec des solutions simples répondant à des situations néanmoins complexes, telle une attaque de panique, une dépression, une phobie de l'avion, et livre des clés pour apaiser les multiples facettes...

A reappraisal of deconstruction from one of its leading commentators, focusing on the themes of force and violence. In this book, Rodolphe Gasché returns to some of the founding texts of deconstruction to propose a new and broader way of understanding it-not as an operation or method to reach an elusive outside, or beyond, of metaphysics, but as something that takes place within it. Rather than unraveling metaphysics, deconstruction loosens its...

What exactly does "Europe" mean for philosophy today? Putting aside both Eurocentrism and anti-Eurocentrism, Gasché returns to the old name "Europe" to examine it as a concept or idea in the work of four philosophers from the phenomenological tradition: Husserl, Heidegger, Patočka, and Derrida. Beginning with Husserl, the idea of Europe became central to such issues as rationality, universality, openness to the other, and responsibility. Europe,...

Entre bonheur, déception, attentes et lassitude, une immersion au coeur du libertinage et de l'échangisme moderne. Faut-il rêver sa vie ou vivre ses rêves ? Le libertinage et l'échangisme apparaissent comme une tendance sociétale récurrente. Les années 1970 ont fait frissonner avec Emmanuelle et Histoire d'O. Plus récemment, la planète s'est enflamme pour Cinquante Nuances de Grey. La mode des clubs privés non-conformistes, la libéralisation...

Is the idea of Europe outdated? The concept of European unity, the animating spirit of the European Union, seems increasingly fragile in the face of far-right populist movements. In Locating Europe , Rodolphe Gasché attempts to answer the question of how to think about Europe. Is it a figure, a concept, or an idea? Is there anything still compelling and urgent about the idea of Europe? By looking at phenomenologist and postphenomenological thinkers...

Extrait: "Il y a des moments dans la vie o une heureuse réunion de circonstances semble fixer sur nous le bonheur. Le calme des passions, l'absence d'inquiétude nous prédisposent à jouir; et, si au contentement d'esprit vient s'unir une situation matériellement douce, embellie par d'agréables sensations, les heures coulent alors délicieusement, et le sentiment de l'existence se pare de ses plus riantes couleurs."

A short history of piracy and capitalism When capitalism spread along the trade routes toward the Indies...when radio opened an era of mass communication . . . when the Internet became part of the global economy...pirates were there. And although most people see pirates as solitary anarchists out to destroy capitalism, it turns out the opposite is true. They are the ones who forge the path. In The Pirate Organization, Rodolphe Durand and Jean-Philippe...
