Conversations on religion
by Mick Gordon and Chris Wilkinson (2008)
About this book
"How do we define religion? Can we define faith? Why in our twenty first century world are so many people religious? Why do, and how can people believe in a supernatural god or gods? Is religion dangerous? Does it have a value? What should our ambition for religion be?" "This book is an insight into human nature. We human beings are strange in our commitment to beliefs which we inherit, imbibe and choose. We find them difficult to let go. For better and for worse, this is our commonality. The task is to better understand and attempt to take responsibility for those different beliefs and positions which seem to mean so much to us."--Jacket.

Le sujet des normes
Pierre Macherey
"Selon Pierre Macherey, la question de la manière dont les normes opèrent ne doit pas être traitée dans l'abstrait. Il faut la rapporter aux nouvelles structures de socialisation et d'exercice du pouvoir liées au développement, dans la seconde moitié du XVIIIe siècle, du machinisme et de la révolution industrielle : ce sont ces structures qui définissent encore aujourd'hui la manière dont on devient sujet. Ces structures, ce sont celles dont Marx a analysé la base économique dans Le Capital, et que Foucault, suivant une approche différente mais convergente, du moins sur certains points, a examinées en se servant du concept de "société de normes". Des lectures croisées s'imposent donc. De Marx à Althusser, d'Althusser à Foucault, de Foucault à Fanon, de Fanon à Deligny, et ainsi de suite, Pierre Macherey dresse des ponts entre différents systèmes de pensée et nous invite à une promenade philosophique et politique destinée à mettre au jour les mécanismes idéologiques de cette société de normes."--P. [4] of cover.
Wallace Stevens
Lee Margaret Jenkins
"This revisionary study of Wallace Stevens queries the dominant interpretations of the poet's career. It redirects the reader's attention to the neglected achievement of Stevens's first book, Harmonium (1923), and examines the pluralism of these early poems in the context of current critical revaluations of modernisms." "The originality of this book lies in its new interpretation of Stevens, and in its British (and Irish) viewpoint. A principal contribution is the extended discussion of Stevens's relationship with the Irish poet Thomas MacGreevy."--BOOK JACKET.
Political theory
Andrew Heywood
The second edition of Andrew Heywood's introductory text to political theory covers a large range of ideas and issues. No matter how abstract the idea he always makes it intelligible and relevant to the modern world of politics.
