Althusser lecteur de Pascal
Cet article a pour but d’évaluer jusqu’à quel point la théorie de l’idéologie avancée par Althusser dans l’essai « Idéologie et appareils idéologiques d’État » porte la trace de la pensée de Pascal. Deux fois dans cet essai il cite Pascal quand il s’agit d’expliquer un aspect crucial de la théorie : d’abord l’idée que les pratiques matérielles (telles que les rituels de la religion) peuvent produire les croyances ; ensuite, l’idée que l’idéologie…
The Other Pascals
Knowing and knowing in Descartes
This article explores the vocabulary of knowing in Descartes’ Meditations. It offers a detailed and in part sequential examination of his use of cognitio (and the related verb cognoscere) and scientia (and the related verb scire) in the Meditations. This shows that the distinction between the two words is not simply conceptually important, as some commentators have argued, but that it is essential to his mode of operation in the Meditations. In p…
Pascal on Happiness
Pascal sees happiness (bonheur) as the ultimate goal of all human activity, but argues that experience shows it to be unattainable; our underlying condition is unhappiness. In the immediate, he argues, human activities are forms of diversion or distraction, by which we seek to screen from ourselves our unhappiness and mortality and to gratify our vanity. This analysis omits the role of pleasure, which he elsewhere identifies as the motive force o…
The Cambridge History of French Thought
French thinkers have revolutionized European thought about knowledge, religion, politics, and society. Delivering a comprehensive history of thought in France from the Middle Ages to the present, this book follows themes and developments of thought across the centuries. It provides readers with studies of both systematic thinkers and those who operate less systematically, through essays or fragments, and places them all in their many contexts. In…
Cambridge History of French Thought
Pascal’s modernity
Pascal can be readily inserted into familiar characterizations of the emergence of modernity (man’s alienation from the cosmos). He himself theorized the proper relationship between innovation (legitimate in the physical sciences) and traditional authority (legitimate especially in theology). While accepting the mechanistic philosophy and in particular the rigid Cartesian distinction between immaterial and corporeal substance, he registers its di…
Barthes, Roland (1915–1980)
Roland Barthes's approach to sociology was initially inspired by existentialism, Marxism, and the linguistics of Saussure; at the same time it developed a very personal preoccupation with the power of language to both liberate and oppress. In Writing Degree Zero he examines how literary forms assert or challenge social allegiances. In Mythologies he studies the way in which photographical or textual messages impart an air of naturalness to a view…
Stoic themes in early modern French thought
Is there an abode of God if not earth and sea and air and heaven and virtue? Why do we seek the gods beyond? Whatever you see, by whatever you are stirred, is Jupiter.
Liberté, nécessité, contrainte chez Jansénius, Arnauld et Nicole
Les théologiens jansénistes s'évertuent à réconcilier la thèse selon laquelle l'homme est assujetti à une nécessité générale de pécher avec le libre arbitre. Jansénius affirme que, malgré la nécessité générale, nous avons la liberté d'indifférence en ce qui concerne les actes particuliers ; mais il prétend aussi (en dépit d'Aristote) que la concupiscence, source des actes particuliers, se ramène à une forme de contrainte. Arnauld se contente d'af…
La Bruyère
This article studies the notion of virtue put forward in La Bruyère's Les Caractères . La Bruyère upholds the Aristotelian notion (rejected by hard-line Augustinians of his own century) of virtue as doing good deeds for their own sake: he examines the relationship between virtue and motive, denying that virtue is present where the behaviour is subordinated to the pursuit of self-interest. The pursuit of glory, on the other hand, may be laudable i…
Martin de Barcos
Martin de Barcos’s posthumously published Exposition de la foy de l’Eglise romaine touchant la grâce et la prédestination is an important restatement of what he takes to be St Augustine’s doctrine on these matters. The first edition (1697) was condemned by the Archbishop of Paris, Louis-Antoine de Noailles, as a restatement of Jansenist doctrine, which, broken down into five key propositions, had been condemned by Innocent X in 1653. The ‘Remarqu…
Disguised VicesTheories of Virtue in Early Modern French Thought
The notions of virtue and vice are essential components of the Western ethical tradition. But in early modern France they were called into question, as writers (most famously La Rochefoucauld) argued that what appears as virtue is in fact disguised vice: people carry out praiseworthy deeds because they stand to gain in some way; they deserve no credit for their behaviour because they have no control over it; they are governed by feelings and moti…
Disguised vices
In this volume Elia Shabani Mligo draws on his fieldwork among people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) in Tanzania, selects stigmatization as his perspective, and chooses participant-centered contextual Bible study as his method to argue that the reading of texts from the Gospel of John by PLWHA (given their lived experiences of stigmatization) empowers them to reject stigmatization as unjust. Mligo's study shows that Christian PLWHA reject stigmatiz…
La Rochefoucauld
The Maximes went through much revision. Among the most important changes are the discarding of the original prefatory discourse by La Chapelle-Bessé and the inclusion of expressions such as ‘souvent’ or ‘d’ordinaire’ which imply that the reductive analysis of the virtues admits of exceptions. The implications of these changes are analysed. They break, it is argued, the link between the text and the Augustinian critique of the pagan virtues. In pa…
Meditations on First Philosophy
Fallen Nature, Fallen Selves
This book investigates psychological and ethical thought in 17th-century France, emphasizing both continuities and discontinuities with ancient and medieval thought. The ancient ethical vision that man achieves fulfilment by living his life according to reason — the highest element of his nature — survives even in Descartes’s thought. However, the revival of Augustinian theology, which focuses on the contradictions and disorders of human desires …
La Vérité des sciences contre les Sceptiques ou Pyrrhoniens
Marin Mersenne: Édition et annotation par Dominique Descotes. (Sources classiques, 49). Paris, Champion, 2003. 1025 pp. Hb €120.00. This work of 1625 comes from an early stage in Mersenne's career, before he became the centre of a dynamic intellectual network, and, as Descotes points out in his admirable introduction, it has therefore often been underestimated (although it is discussed in Popkin's History of Scepticism). Yet it deserves to be exp…
Theory and the Early Modern
Fallen Nature, Fallen Selves
The Theory of the Literary Field and the Situation of the First Modernity
I distinguish, for the purposes of this article, between ‘theory’ and ‘thesis’, along these lines: a theory is a set or more precisely a chain of concepts organized in such a way as to describe a phenomenon, and a thesis is an application of these concepts. My aim here is to reconsider the notion of the ‘literary field’.1 I am thus positioning myself in the perspective opened up by the work of Pierre Bourdieu, and subsequently developed by other …
Ideology and literature
The use of the term 'ideology' in relation to literature was for long typical of Marxist criticism, especially of the Althusserian school. Althusser's first and second theories of ideology exerted a powerful impact on literary criticism and theory (Macherey, Eagleton, Jameson). The work of Bourdieu, Bakhtin, and Žižek offers alternative conceptions of ideology. The concept has been influentially criticized by Foucault, but it has still been used …
Early Modern French Thought
This book is an examination of three major French thinkers of the 17th-century — Descartes, Pascal, and Malebranche — of whom the latter two are comparatively little studied in the English-speaking world. It deals with a common attitude of suspicion towards everyday experience, which they see as dominated and obscured by sensation, imagination, and the presence of the body. This attitude, however, obliges them to develop detailed and sophisticate…
Žižek, religion and ideology
Principles of judgement
The notion of vraisemblance [probability], which is in some sense the keystone of French neoclassical poetics, has both a technical content, indicating to the poet how to secure the audience's engagement with the text, and a more ideological content, referring to the social and moral ideas in virtue of which the work will be judged. It is the latter sense that is dealt with here. The link between the notion of vraisemblance , as a criterion of ar…

William Palmer Ladd and the Origins of the Episcopal Liturgical Movement
The liturgical movement in the American Episcopal Church owes its origin to William Palmer Ladd (1870-1941), a pragmatic New England Yankee whose ideas helped reorient the church's worship and self-understanding, and came to fruition in the current liturgy, the 1979 Book of Common Prayer
From a Video Game in a Virtual World to Collaborative Visual Analytic Tools
We investigated collaboration during a riddle-solving video game in a virtual world that drew elements from massively multiplayer online role-playing games and serious games. This disclosed benefits of collaborative game play over non-collaborative play in a virtual world. Participants were in the digital natives age range. Collaboration conditions varied over five sessions. We derived implications for accommodating collaboration in visual analyt…

The Longest Cultural Journey
I want here to consider the problematic relationship between the thought of Raymond Williams and the tendencies in French literary theory since the nineteen-fifties.' It was Williams himself who remarked that the crossing of the Channel must be one of the longest cultural journeys in existence by comparison with the physical distance.2 In considering Williams's engagement with French thought of, broadly speaking, the structuralist and poststructu…

Rhetoric, Doxa, and Experience in Barthes
Barthes a souvent porte sa reflexion vers des questions de rhetorique. L'A. part ici de son article, L'Ancienne Rhetorique, et traverse toute l'oeuvre pour etudier les positions de Barthes autour de la question rhetorique, et des liens entre l'opinion (la doxa), l'experience et la connaissance. Les positions prises par l'ecrivain vis-a-vis d'Aristote, et du probleme de la 'violence de la theorie', sont egalement evoquees et analysees

French criticism in the seventeenth century
Seventeenth-century French criticism has generally, and with some reason, been seen as the imposition of a set of doctrines: adherence to ‘the rules’ the imitation of selected and generalized Nature and of the ancients, according to the criteria of probability [ vraisemblance ] and decorum [ bienséance ]; the combination of pleasure and instruction; the separation and hierarchy of genres; the dramatic unities. The affirmation of these requirement…
