Dieu N A Pas Besoin De Preuves

"Passionant." Psychologies magazine Les nouveaux croisés du XXIe siècle en sont persuadés et veulent nous en convaincre, preuves à l’appui : les avancées de la science contemporaine confortent les assertions de la religion. Les tenants du créationnisme, comme ceux de l’Intelligence supérieure « démontrée » par la structure de l’univers, ne doutent de rien et tiennent à le faire savoir. Jacques Arnould s’inscrit en faux contre ce mélange des genres où la foi prend en otage la science en lui faisant dire ce qu’elle ne dit pas. Pour confondre les méthodes douteuses des dévots d’aujourd’hui comme celles de leurs prédécesseurs, il argumente en philosophe des sciences, familier notamment de l’avancée des savoirs sur l’espace, la physique contemporaine ou l’évolution. Il s’exprime aussi en théologien qui croit en l’Évangile de Jean selon lequel « Dieu, personne ne l’a jamais vu ». Il ne s’agit pas de choisir entre science et foi, mais de bien distinguer les ordres de vérité, pour demeurer loyal à chacun. Jacques Arnould est chargé de mission au Centre national d'études spatiales (CNES), où il accompagne les scientifiques comme expert en matière d'éthique. Ex-dominicain, il est aussi un théologien de haut niveau. Il a publié de nombreux ouvrages, dont plusieurs chez Albin Michel, entre autres Dieu versus Darwin. Les créationnistes vont-ils triompher de la science ? (2007) et, Sous le voile du cosmos. Quand les scientifiques parlent de Dieu (2015).

The thoroughly contemporary question of the relationship between emotion and reason was debated with such complexity by the philosophers of the 17th century that their concepts remain a source of inspiration for today’s research about the emotionality of the mind. The analyses of the works of Descartes, Spinoza, Leibniz, and many other thinkers collected in this volume offer new insights into the diversity and significance of philosophical reflections about emotions during the early modern era. A focus is placed on affective components in learning processes and the boundaries between emotions and reason.

The sixty French texts edited here are all direct commentaries, by contemporary authors, on the French language in the 17th century. By this time, French had begun to assert its independence; in its written and printed form it was being used for a wide variety of literary, technical and administrative purposes. Its practitioners not only successfully challenged the hitherto dominant position of Latin, but also began, for the first time, to discuss and analyse for its own sake the language which was now their preferred medium for expression -- hence, in the first half of the seventeenth century, a growing number of publications on the nature and characteristics of French. The texts demonstrate the sustained critical preoccupationwith the welfare of the French language in the 17th century, and illustrate the various ways in which the writers of the age contributed to its development as an instrument of literary expression and social intercourse.
