Cover of Soi-même comme un autre

Soi-même comme un autre

Paul Ricœur

"Trois visées philosophiques traversent cette suite d'études. Selon la première, est cherché pour le soi un statut qui échappe aux alternances d'exaltation et de déchéance qui affectent les philosophies du sujet en première personne : dire soi n'est pas dire je. Tenu pour le réfléchi de toutes les personnes grammaticales comme dans l'expression : le souci de soi, le soi requiert le détour d'analyses qui amènent à articuler diversement la question qui? Qui est le locuteur de discours? Qui est l'agent ou le patient de l'action? Qui est le personnage du récit? A qui est imputée l'action placée sous les prédicats du bon ou de l'obligatoire? Enquêtes pour l'essentiel empruntées à la philosophie dite analytique, avec laquelle l'herméneutique du soi entre dans un débat serré. Deuxième visée : l'identité que suggère le terme même est à décomposer entre deux significations majeures : l'identité-idem de choses qui persistent inchangées à travers le temps, et l'identité-idem de celui qui ne se maintient qu'à la manière d'une promesse tenue. Enfin c'est l'antique dialectique du Même et de l'Autre qui doit être renouvelée si l'autre que soi-même se dit de multiples façons ; le comme de l'expression soi-même comme un autre peut dès lors signifier un lien plus étroit que toute comparaison : soi-même en tant qu'autre. Autant de fragments stratifiés d'une philosophie pratique, qui a renoncé à toute ambition de fondation ultime, et qui pourtant ne manque ni de l'assurance ni de la confiance qu'engendre l'attestation de soi-même comme un autre."

An introduction to language

Victoria Fromkin ... [et al

"An Introduction to Language is the ideal text for students at all levels and in many different areas of instruction, including linguistics, English, education, foreign languages, psychology, anthropology, sociology, and teaching English as a Second Language (TESL). Continuing the authors' tradition of making each edition the most current, complete, and informative on the market, this Eighth Edition reflects the best and most recent research in all areas of linguistics while retaining its signature student-friendly style." "Key Features to this Eighth Edition include: Extensive updates to every chapter, including: a new section on the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, new information on neurolinguistics, extensive new material on bilingualism and teaching a second language, a thoroughly updated treatment of syntax, a completely rewritten chapter on semantics and pragmatics that reflects modern thinking, a revised chapter on sociolinguistics that emphasizes recent findings, and a greatly expanded section on syntactic change. Up-to-date descriptions of the major components of language (phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics)-all discussed at a current, yet introductory, level. Information about American Sign Language and other sign languages woven throughout the text, helping readers appreciate them as bona fide languages with many of the same characteristics as spoken languages. Usage of IPA symbols throughout the text. A summary of important material at the end of each chapter, as well as a comprehensive list of references, suggestions for further reading, and exercises. The most extensive and concisely written glossary of terms of any introductory text, as well as a thorough index that makes it easy to navigate the book. Book jacket."--BOOK JACKET
