The Other J.M.: John Maurice Clark and the Keynesian Revolution

2009

This paper suggests that Clark's views regarding the Keynesian Revolution illuminate some of the limitations of the Keynesian orthodoxy that developed after the war, bringing more institutional detail and a greater preoccupation with dynamic analysis. Clark developed the multiplier in dynamic terms and coupled it with the accelerator to provide the framework for business cycle theory. His analysis was not formalized and emphasized time lags and non-linearities, similar to Harrod. In addition, Clark was concerned with the inflationary consequences of Keynesian policies and he was dissatisfied with those mechanical interpretations of the income flow analysis, which came to be known as hydraul…

Merleau-Ponty's reading of Descartes : from Cartesian duality to the new ontological structure

2019

The duality between the mind and the body has been haunting a wide field of academic discussions since René Descartes’ (1596–1650) philosophy. The problem not only concerns the inexplicable relation between immaterial and material substances, but also the relation between reflective thought and the unreflected experience: there are two fields of evidence which both have their own types of clarity, but which remain obscure for each other. The lived and practical experience is opposed to the objective knowledge of the sciences. Cartesian philosophy is established on the refusal of the non-philosophical life, which, nevertheless, it cannot refuse. This work offers an investigation of Maurice M…

Merleau-Pontyn Descartes-tulkinta : kartesiolaisesta duaalisuudesta uuteen ontologiseen rakenteeseen

2019

Englanninkielisen lectio praecursorian pohjalta suomennetussa artikkelissa johdatellaan väitöskirjan peruskysymykseen yleistajuisesti ja esittelevästi. Maurice Merleau-Pontyn (1908–1961) tulkinta René Descartesin (1596–1650) filosofiasta on omaperäinen erityisesti siksi, että hän ei pyri vain muodostamaan historiallisesti korrektia käsitystä Descartesin teoksista vaan hänen tavoitteensa on ennenkaikkea näyttää mikä Descartesin muodostamissa filosofisissa kysymyksissä ja rakenteissa vaikuttaa yhä nykyfilosofiassa. Merleau-Pontyn kriittisyys suhteessa Descartesiin ei ole vain irtiotto vaan myös uudelleenajattelua. Immateriaalisen ja materiaalisen substanssin välisen erottelun sijaan keskiöön …

Enseignement et démocratisation : comparaison des effets sociaux des politiques de deux systèmes éducatifs, Ile Maurice, Ile de la Réunion

1999

International audience; Mauritious and Réunion are characterised by their contrasting education policies. Our research questions, form a comparative angle, not just the impact of these political choice but also the consequences of the way the two systems are run in terms of school democratisation. In order to do this, we make a point of putting in perspective the differentiated paths in school followed by pupils from a sample of schools in Mauritius and Réunion. The complementarity between quantitative and qualitative approaches makes it possible to show that the expected social effects are modulated by the behaviour strategies of the "initiated" actors. If the movement towards education fo…

L'orizzonte del senso. Verità e mondo in Bloch, Merleau-Ponty, Paci

2005

. Il libro raccoglie e rielabora gli studi composti tra il 2003 e il 2005. Il senso e l'orizzonte costituiscono il filo conduttore dei tre percorsi critici qui proposti. Essi sono accomunati dal taglio fenomenologico dell'analisi e dall'intento di focalizzare il movimento di pensiero che si snoda negli itinerari speculativi dei pensatori rivisitati, nei quali la verità si incontra e si scontra prassicamente col mondo, finendo comunque per sopravanzarlo. Ciò avviene sia nella filosofia della speranza di Ernst Bloch, sia nell'esistenzialismo di Maurice Merleau-Ponty, sia infine nel relazionismo di Enzo Paci. La novità dell'intepretazione di Bloch è costituita dall'individuazione di due differ…

Fenomenologinen selvitys teknologian ja ruumiin suhteesta : ruumiin laajentaminen teknologian avulla

2014

Tämä tutkielma käsittelee teknologiaa ja ruumista fenomenologisesta näkökulmasta. Tarkoituksenani on selvittää teknologian vaikutus ruumiillisuuteen ja ruumiillinen laajentaminen teknologian avulla. Lisäksi käsittelen yleisesti ruumiillisuutta ja teknologiaa fenomenologisesta viitekehyksestä ja molempien vaikutusta kokonaisvaltaiseen tapaan olla maailmassa. Fenomenologisen viitekehyksen muodostan nojaamalla pääasiallisesti kolmen aihetta käsitelleen filosofin työhön. Ensinnäkin ranskalaisfilosofi Maurice Merleau-Pontyn filosofia luo viitekehyksen ruumiillisuudelle, kun taas saksalaisfilosofi Martin Heidegger tarjoaa lähtökohdan teknologia-näkökulman käsittelylle. Näiden molempien filosofien…

Phenomenological ontology of breathing : the phenomenologico-ontological interpretation of the barbaric conviction of we breathe air and a new philos…

2018

The general topic of my philosophical dissertation is phenomenological ontology of breathing. I do not investigate the phenomenon of breathing as a natural scientific problem, but as a philosophical question. Within our tradition, breathing has been normally understood as a mechanistic-materialistic physiological life-sustaining process of gas exchange and cellular respiration which does not really seem to have any essential connection to human being’s spiritual, mental or philosophical capacities. On the contrary to this natural scientific view, I argue that breathing can be understood as a philosophical question that has phenomenological, experiential, ontological, spiritual, bodily, ment…

On the aestheticization of technologized bodies : a portrait of a cyborg(ed) form of agency

2017

Discussions revolving around cyborgs seldom include aesthetics, let alone propose aesthetics as an inextricable part of the phenomenon of the cyborg. Rather, the term “cyborg”, a contraction of “cybernetic organism”, evokes a figure of the (hu)man- machine. In the field of social and political sciences, the cyborg is designated a human-machine hybrid, a metaphor of humans becoming machinelike, or a portrait of (political) agency in an era of high technology. These approaches promote a figure of technologized bodies, that is, the cyborg as a figure of technologically dominated and altered bodies. I will sustain that the cyborg contributes to our understanding of agency in the age of high tec…
