Alain de Botton 232127

The Art of Travel

Penguin Books, 2003. Paperback. Pp: 261. Few activities seem to promise is as much happiness as going travelling: taking off for somewhere else, somewhere far from home, a place with more interesting weather, customs and landscapes. But although we are inundated with advice on where to travel to, we seldom ask why we go and how we might become more fulfilled by doing so. With the help of a selection of writers, artists and thinkers - including Flaubert, Edward Hopper, Wordsworth and Van Gogh - Alain de Botton's bestselling The Art of Travel provides invaluable insights into everything from holiday romance to hotel minibars, airports to sightseeing. The perfect antidote to those guides that tell us what to do when we get there, The Art of Travel tries to explain why we really went in the first place - and helpfully suggest how we might be happier on our journeys.

Yves Michaud 21417

L'art à l'état gazeux

A. Fayard, 2011. Paperback. Pp: 204. L'ère contemporaine est celle d'un paradoxe: tandis que triomphe l'esthétique, jusque dans les objets les plus quotidiens et les plus triviaux, le monde de l'art se détourne des oeuvres pour proposer des démarches, des installations, des performances. Appuyant sa démonstration sur une connaissance approfondie de l'art contemporain, Yves Michaud analyse les principales théories esthétiques actuelles dans leur capacité à rendre compte de cette évolution de l'art. Parallèlement, il scrute dans nos modes de vie les effets d'une esthétisation de l'existence, dont il voit la trace dans la mode, le culte du corps ou le tourisme. Au-delà des polémiques sur l'art contemporain, Yves Michaud constate ici son évanescence: ´ L'art se réfugie alors dans une expérience qui n'est plus celle d'objets entourés d'une aura, mais d'une aura qui ne se rattache à rien ou quasiment rien. Cette aura, cette auréole, ce parfum, ce gaz, comme on voudra l'appeler, dit à travers la mode l'identité de l'époque. » Philosophe, Yves Michaud a publié de nombreux ouvrages d'esthétique et de philosophie politique, dont Critères esthétiques et jugement de goût et L'Artiste et les commissaires.

Eugenia Cheng 179930

Art of Logic in an Illogical World.

Basic Books, 2020. Hardcover. Pp: 320. How both logical and emotional reasoning can help us live better in our post-truth world In a world where fake news stories change election outcomes, has rationality become futile? In The Art of Logic in an Illogical World, Eugenia Cheng throws a lifeline to readers drowning in the illogic of contemporary life. Cheng is a mathematician, so she knows how to make an airtight argument. But even for her, logic sometimes falls prey to emotion, which is why she still fears flying and eats more cookies than she should. If a mathematician can't be logical, what are we to do? In this book, Cheng reveals the inner workings and limitations of logic, and explains why alogic - for example, emotion - is vital to how we think and communicate. Cheng shows us how to use logic and alogic together to navigate a world awash in bigotry, mansplaining, and manipulative memes. Insightful, useful, and funny, this essential book is for anyone who wants to think more clearly. ISBN: 9781541672482. Cond./Kwaliteit: Ramsj.

L'art d'être français

Bouquins, 2021. Pocket. Pp: 391. Un manuel de résistance à l'intention des nouvelles générations.0Que dire à des jeunes de vingt ans pour leur conduite dans ce monde qui part à la dérive ? La civilisation s'effondre, les valeurs s'inversent, la culture se rétrécit comme une peau de chagrin, les livres comptent moins que les écrans, l'école n'apprend plus à penser mais à obéir au politiquement correct, la famille explosée, décomposée, recomposée se retrouve souvent composée d'ayants droit égotistes et narcissiques.0De nouveaux repères surgissent, qui contredisent les anciens: le racisme revient sous forme de racialisme, la phallocratie sous prétexte de néo-féminisme, l'antisémitisme sous couvert d'antisionisme, le fascisme sous des allures de progressisme, le nihilisme sous les atours de la modernité, l'antispécisme et le transhumanisme passent pour des humanismes alors que l'un et l'autre travaillent à la mort de l'homme, l'écologisme se pare des plumes anticapitalistes bien qu'il soit le navire amiral du capital ? il y a de quoi perdre pied.0J'ai rédigé une série de lettres à cette jeune génération pour lui raconter les racines culturelles de notre époque: elles ont pour sujet la moraline, le néo-féminisme, le décolonialisme, l'islamo-gauchisme, l'antifascisme, la déresponsabilisation, la créolisation, l'antisémitisme, l'écologisme, l'art contemporain, le transhumanisme, l'antispécisme.0L'une d'elles explique en quoi consiste l'art d'être français: d'abord ne pas être dupe, ensuite porter haut l'héritage du libre examen de Montaigne, du rationalisme de Descartes, de l'hédonisme de Rabelais, de l'ironie de Voltaire, de l'esprit de finesse de Marivaux, de la politique de Hugo.

Garry Hagberg 125520

Art as Language

Cornell University Press, 1998. Paperback. Pp: 196. " Art as Language] is in itself extremely valuable as an example of the still largely unappreciated relevance of Wittgenstein's work to traditional philosophical issues. This book, as a more or less encyclopedic critique of aesthetic theories from a Wittgensteinian perspective, will be enlightening to aesthetic theorists who want to know, not what Wittgenstein said about art, but what the relevance of his work is to their use of language as a point of reference for interpreting art."-Choice"In a series of acute arguments, Hagberg dismantles the region of grand aesthetic theory that defines art in the terms philosophy has traditionally used to define language. Written with excellence in argumentation, judiciousness, and a capacious knowledge of Wittgenstein."-Daniel Herwitz, Common Knowledge"A clear and intelligent book. Hagberg's strategy is to show the consequences of holding a Wittgensteinian view of language and mind for aesthetic theories which are either based on, or analogous to, other non-Wittgensteinian positions about language and mind. This is an important project."-Stanley Bates, Middlebury College. ISBN: 9780801485312. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.
