First and foremost an outcry against injustice and inhumanity, Unto this Last is also a closely argued assault on the science of political economy, which dominated the Victorian period. Ruskin was a profoundly conservative man who looked back to the Middle Ages as a Utopia, yet his ideas had a considerable influence on the British socialist movement. And in making his powerful moral and aesthetic case against the dangers of unhindered industrialization he was strangely prophetic. This volume sho...

La question de savoir comment un mot se rapporte à d’autres mots pour composer un énoncé est, selon Adorno, inaugurale de la philosophie. Durant le semestre d’été 1962 et le semestre d’hiver 1962/1963, Adorno a consacré 46 cours à la « terminologie philosophique ». Porter attention à la formation de chaque pensée dans ses mots conduit à dépasser les nomenclatures ou les lexiques fixés hors du temps pour pénétrer la constitution dynamique des concepts à travers l’histoire...

Nietzsche's first published book, The Birth of Tragedy is a compelling argument for the necessity of art in life This landmark work of criticism is fuelled by Nietzsche's enthusiasms for Greek tragedy, the philosophy of Schopenhauer and the music of Wagner, to whom the book was dedicated. Nietzsche outlined a distinction between two central forces in art: the Apolline, representing beauty and order, and the Dionysiac, a primal or ecstatic reaction to the sublime. He believed the combination of t...

'God is dead ... but given the ways of men, perhaps for millennia to come there will be caves in which his shadow will be shown' Friedrich Nietzsche described The Joyous Science as a book of 'exuberance, restlessness, contrariety and April showers'. A deeply personal and affirmative work, it straddles his middle and late periods and contains some of the most important ideas he would ever express in writing. Moving from a critique of conventional morality, the arts and modernity to an exhilaratin...

La question des émotions représentées, exprimées ou provoquées par l’art a été largement éclipsée par une modernité qui dédaignait les problématiques « psychologisantes » et préférait se centrer sur des interrogations formelles. La sortie de l’art de ce moment formaliste, d’une part, et le développement des disciplines scientifiques ayant les émotions pour objet, d’autre part, invitent à ré-ouvrir le dossier des liens complexes et variés que les arts entretiennent av...

No philosopher has held a higher opinion of art than Hegel, yet nor was any so profoundly pessimistic about its prospects - despite living in the German golden age of Goethe, Mozart and Schiller. For if the artists of classical Greece could find the perfect fusion of content and form, modernity faced complicating - and ultimately disabling - questions. Christianity, with its code of unworldliness, had compromised the immediacy of man's relationship with reality, and ironic detachment had alienat...

L’art n’est pas, pour Adorno, un objet régional parmi d’autres mais, à l’égal de la philosophie, une pensée capable de se rapporter au vrai. Entre les années 1930 et 1968, le philosophe de Francfort a consacré six cours à l’esthétique, qui ont nourri son livre Théorie esthétique, paru à titre posthume. Chacun de ces cours avait sa cohérence propre, celui de 1958/59 a pour spécificité de porter l’accent sur la conception matérialiste de l’art, notamment à travers une...

An exploration of cuteness and its immense hold on us, from emojis and fluffy puppies to its more uncanny, subversive expressions Cuteness has taken the planet by storm. Global sensations Hello Kitty and Pokémon, the works of artists Takashi Murakami and Jeff Koons, Heidi the cross-eyed opossum and E.T.—all reflect its gathering power. But what does “cute” mean, as a sensibility and style? Why is it so pervasive? Is it all infantile fluff, or is there something more uncanny and even menac...
