La pratique universitaire de la philosophie a une tendance gênante à privilégier l’étude des penseurs à celle de la pensée. Sur la scène de l’ineffable, le culte de la personnalité avance son visage au-devant des rideaux pour nous dire que les grands hommes étaient grands. Le présent ouvrage du réseau Philau (Philosophie Architecture Urbain) s’inscrit [...]
Comme chaque année, EspacesTemps.net interrompt le flot de ses publications pour une durée d’un mois durant l’été. Nous serons de retour dès le 16 août. L’année 2009-2010 a vu la publication de trois nouvelles traverses, qui sont autant d’appels à contribution sur l’édition académique libre, le tourisme comme mode et sujet d’enquête et le développement [...]
