Mimesis and Imitation
Violence and Accusation
An accusation is at first sight a triadic relation. Accusing relates three poles: the accuser, the accused, and what he or she is accused of—which is also often referred to simply as the “accusation,” as if that accusation, the fault or the crime that is reproached in the person, were enough to define what it is to accuse. A person accuses another one of something, which is then three terms. This is both a social and a mundane relation: social be…
L'« œuvre-vie » de René Girard
Dans René Girard. Biographie (Grasset, 2023), Benoît Chantre souligne l'importance de la foi catholique et des accès mondiaux de violence dont Girard a été témoin pour comprendre son travail sur le désir mimétique et le mécanisme victimaire

L'État démocratique menacé par la corruption
Il est difficile de définir la corruption par un ensemble d'actions spécifiques et dans l'intention de frauder. Elle s'inscrit dans une relation concernant toujours au moins trois acteurs (principal auteur, mandataire et victime) et, au sein des démocraties, offre deux acceptions. D'abord, la corruption comme détournement de l'autorité publique à des fins privées, ensuite la corruption au sens moral, et quasi biologique, d'un mal qui entraîne la …

Achever Clausewitz et The Internationalists: La guerre contenue par la politique
Girard et Chantre, dans Achever Clausewitz , analysent le processus d’évolution des conflits depuis les guerres napoléoniennes qui, en raison de la dynamique des affrontements violents entre les nations, a conduit à la disparition de la guerre comme institution limitant et encadrant la violence des conflits. Hathaway et Shapiro, dans The Internationalists , montrent comment, depuis le pacte Briand-Kellogg qui rend la guerre illégale, celle-ci a c…

René Girard et Marcel Mauss, deux anthropologues en chambre
Girard et Mauss ont comme caractéristique commune de n'avoir pas été des anthropologues de terrain. Pour Mauss, cela renvoie surtout à ce que un "fait social total" est par définition offert à l'observation selon de nombreux points de vue différents entre lesquels, comme le montre le Manuel d'ethnographie , il ne faut privilégier aucun. Pour Girard, ce fait tient plutôt à la nature de son objet, le mimétisme, dont on ne peut jamais faire l'expéri…
Anthropomorphism in Human–Robot Co-evolution
Social robotics entertains a particular relationship with anthropomorphism, which it neither sees as a cognitive error, nor as a sign of immaturity. Rather it considers that this common human tendency, which is hypothesized to have evolved because it favored cooperation among early humans, can be used today to facilitate social interactions between humans and a new type of cooperative and interactive agents - social robots. This approach leads so…
L'aide sociale punitive
Le pauvre moderne est juge coupable du crime dont on l’accuse : etre pauvre est un crime qui remet en cause le fondement de l’ordre social. Pour qu’elle soit reconnue comme un crime, il faut faire de la pauvrete un acte volontaire. C’est a la fois ce qu’exprime, et le but que vise l’aide punitive. La question qui se pose est de savoir pourquoi si nombreux sont ceux qui approuvent de telles politiques a l’egard de la pauvrete et qui trouvent le pr…
Social Bonds as Freedom
Central to discussions of multiculturalism and minority rights in modern liberal societies is the idea that the particular demands of minority groups contradict the requirements of equality, anonymity, and universality for citizenship and belonging. The contributors to this volume question the significance of this dichotomy between the universal and the particular, arguing that it reflects how the modern state has instituted the basic rights and …

The Barren Sacrifice: An Essay on Political Violence
Reciprocity: Nuclear Risk and Responsibility
Focusing on the March 2011 Fukushima nuclear accident, this article argues that there is or can be a form of reciprocity between the victims of a catastrophe and society at large to the extent that victims become the occasion and rationale for social reforms. The victims’ contribution to society in this case is the simple fact of being victims. Such a form of reciprocity requires a particular relation to time which Jean-Pierre Dupuy has recently …
La vie des robots et la nôtre
La rupture entre ce qui est vivant ou naturel et ce qui ne l'est pas est beaucoup moins marquée dans la culture japonaise qu'elle ne l'est dans la culture occidentale - ou du moins, elle n'est pas marquée de la même manière et du même poids. En m'inspirant en partie de la pratique que l'on trouve au cimetière de Koya-san, qui consiste à donner une tombe à des objets inanimés - voiture, fusée, pompe à eau - je m'interroge sur ce que cette distinct…

Naturalizing Ethics: A Girardian Perspective
Reinventing Homo Economicus
Rationality and Explanations in Economics is an interesting book which defends a challenging thesis, but, as we will see, all three terms, rationality, explanations and economics, raise problems and require specifications. Maurice Lagueux proposes the provocative thesis that explanation in economics rests on a very minimal conception of rationality, one which corresponds more or less to Karl Popper’s principle of rationality: that agents act in a…

Emotions as Strategic Signals
In this article, we ask how much, if anything, of Robert Frank's (1988, 2004) theory of emotions as evolved strategic commitment devices can survive rejection of its underlying game-theoretic model. Frank's thesis is that emotions serve to prevent people from reneging on threats and promises with enough reliability to support cooperative equilibria in prisoner's dilemmas and similar games with inefficient dominant equilibria. We begin by showing …

Trust as an Action
Most authors view trust as a psychological disposition that motivates an agent to cooperative behavior in circumstances where the consequences of the agent's action are uncertain and especially when this uncertainty depends on the reaction of other agents. This article criticizes this general approach and argues that trust is best seen as the action rather than as whatever it is that motivates it. Trust is defined as an act through which an agent…
Y a-t-il des sentiments moraux
A quick survey of the literature reveals that authors disagree as to which sentiments are moral and which are not, they disagee as to how to distinguish between moral and other sentiments, and finally that often the same author will claim a sentiment is moral at some times but not at others. These difficulties arise, I argue, from an underlying concept of emotion that I call atomism. Viewing emotions as means of coordination among agents, rather …

Ce que l'on peut apprendre sur les chauves-souris à l'aide d'une télé couleur
Deux ou trois articles (plus ou moins) récents, Nagel (1974), Block (1978), Jackson (1982), forment la toile de fond de discussions actuelles au sujet des qualia et du caractère subjectif de l'expérience, du moins en philosophie de l'esprit. Ces articles ont ceci en commun qu'ils visent tous à montrer qu'un certain aspect de l'expérience consciente – les qualia ou sa dimension subjective – remet en cause l'une ou l'autre, ou l'ensemble (Jackson 1…
The Role of Fiction in Evolutionary Biology
AROUND 1579 SIR PHILIP SYDNEY ARGUED, in The Apology for Poetry, that poets never lie because they never assert anything. This is a rather strange defense. Literature is acquitted of lying because it lacks the mens rea necessary to tell the truth. The accused is innocent of the charge because he is held to be incompetent. Literature has remained chained to this judgment, or at least to the second half of it, and often for the very reasons invoked…

Enlightenment to Enlightenment: Intercritique of Science and Myth
Persona: Reason and Representation in Hobbes's Political Philosophy
REPRESENTATION IS USUALLY CONSIDERED one of key concepts of modern political theory. As such, is viewed as a mechanism of legitimization that defines a form of government, and it is generally linked to modem democracy. A representative government is a type of political organization where power is held through accord, agreement or authorization of those governed. From this point of view, representation is seen as a characteristic of government or …

Malheur moral, jus in bello et responsabilité morale
Cet article défend premièrement la thèse que la guerre ouvre une période où les situations de malheur moral se font de plus en plus fréquentes. Un malheur moral est une situation où tous les choix qui sont ouverts à un agent causent des torts injustifiés. En conséquence dans une telle situation même si un agent choisit la solution qui moralement est la meilleure parmi celles qui lui sont offertes, il a une responsabilité morale envers ceux qu’il …

Against Injustice: The New Economics of Amartya Sen
Interdire la burqa: Vu d'ailleurs, vu de loin
Une bonne loi doit répondre à trois critères : ne pas commettre d'injustice, ne pas créer de désordre, poursuivre un objectif qui sera utile au plus grand nombre. L'auteur, un Canadien qui vit au Japon, décortique en fonction de cette approche des lois, récemment votées en Belgique et en France, créant le délit de dissimulation du visage dans l'espace public : sont-elles à la hauteur des principes au nom desquels on légifère
