Analysis of Mind
On Garréta on Proust
This article explores Anne F. Garréta's engagements with Marcel Proust's À la recherche du temps perdu in La Décomposition (1999). I argue that Garréta's various 'rewritings' of Proust's novel supply a new image of the productive tensions between literary works and critical or novelistic approaches to them and simultaneously resist a tendency to reproduce and consume Proust's work as a cultural fetish. In examining Garréta's creation of a series …

Questions of Influence in Modern French Literature
Constructivism in Ethics
Are there such things as moral truths? How do we know what we should do? And does it matter? Constructivism states that moral truths are neither invented nor discovered, but rather are constructed by rational agents in order to solve practical problems. While constructivism has become the focus of many philosophical debates in normative ethics, meta-ethics and action theory, its importance is still to be fully appreciated. These new essays writte…

G. E. Moore: Early Philosophical Writings
G. E. Moore's fame as a philosopher rests on his ethics of love and beauty, which inspired Bloomsbury, and on his 'common sense' certainties which challenge abstract philosophical theory. Behind this lies his critical engagement with Kant's idealist philosophy, which is published here for the first time. These early writings, Moore's fellowship dissertations of 1897 and 1898, show how he initiated his influential break with idealism. In 1897 his …
Recognition: Personal and Political
Recognition plays a central role in international affairs and in moral and political theory. Hegel noted the connections between these two contexts, and this article explores Hegel's approach with reference to the work of two political philosophers (Honneth and Rawls) and debates in international law. The conclusion is that while recognition has a constitutive role in international affairs, it has a different role in moral and political theory: m…
Jacques Bouveresse: Being UnFrench, Metaphorically
Jacques Bouveresse is professor of philosophy at the Collège de France in Paris. He has published widely on Wittgenstein, Robert Musil and Karl Kraus. As an analytical philosopher, he has been, as it were, the mirror image of an Adorno at pre-war Oxford. Unlike his Anglo-Saxon counterparts at Oxford, he is the beleaguered minority in France. He does not have the option either of lofty disdain or Ayerish japery. He grumbles. Anyone familiar with p…
Dictionnaire Marcel Proust
Sous la direction d' Annick Bouillaguet et Brian G. Rogers. Paris, Champion. 2004. 1098 pp. Hb €100.00. ‘Neither index nor guide’, this work is designed to fill the gaps left by the current array of Proust reference works. But this dictionary is more than scholarly Polyfilla — it brings together and develops the content of those past works within a single handy tome, albeit rather hefty. Some entries comprise ‘notes’ and articles concerning both …

Proust as Interpreter of Ruskin: The Seven Lamps of Translation
By Cynthia J. Gamble. Birmingham, AL, Summa, 2002. 281 pp. Hb $48.95. Drawing carefully on source materials and manuscripts that have often been overlooked, Cynthia J. Gamble provides a lucid and detailed account of the making of translations by Proust from Ruskins's œuvre, notably The Bible of Amiens and Sesame and Lilies. She clears up the contentious matter of Proust's knowledge of English, demonstrating that it was more advanced than he — or …
Proust, a Fountain and some Pink Marble
This article is in two parts. The first concerns a description of the ‘Hubert Robert fountain’ that occurs towards the beginning of Sodome et Gomorrhe. The second concerns the narrator's description in Le Temps retrouvé of the ‘matière’ of his work as ‘distincte, nouvelle, d'une transparence, d'une sonorité spéciales, compacte, fraîchissante et rose’. 1 The two parts are connected by a transformatory effect. In the first, an object that enters th…

I thought I would write one series of books on the philosophy of the sciences from pure mathematics to…

Moore's rejection of idealism
In his account of his philosophical development Russell wrote (1959:54): ‘It was towards the end of 1898 that Moore and I rebelled against both Kant and Hegel. Moore led the way, but I followed closely in his footsteps.’ I want here to describe the route Moore followed in this rebellion against idealism, and then to explore briefly his initial development of central themes arising out of it.
Sartre, Existentialism and Humanism
Sartre presented ‘Existentialism and Humanism’ to a popular audience in Paris late in 1945. As he implies in the discussion which is appended to the text of the lecture (pp. 57–58), he was here simplifying his views so as to make them intelligible to a wide audience. In this he succeeded only too well; the lecture has become exceedingly well known and has been regarded as a definitive presentation not only of Sartre's philosophy at the time, but …
Jean-Paul Sartre
Jean-Paul Sartre (1905–1980), nephew of the Alsatian theologian, Albert Schweitzer, was born in Paris, passed his agrégation at the Ecole Normale Superieure in 1929, and was a lycée teacher between 1931 and 1945. He was called up to the French Army in 1939, captured by the Germans in 1940 and released after the armistice. In 1938 he published a novel, La Nausée , translated by Robert Baldick as Nausea (Harmondsworth: Penguin, 1965), and in 1940, …
