According to Camille Riquier, the Metaphysical Meditations are the “secret” to understanding Sartrean thought. Yet, can this bold thesis be extended to Sartre’s entire oeuvre?

Where do our emotions come from? Are they specific to our sensibility or are they a product of our environment? And how do they become collective? Louis Quéré proposes to revisit these crucial questions.

Sartre promoted a new form of psychoanalysis that refused to relegate impulses to the unconscious and the infantile past. Neither deterministic nor arbitrary, human freedom is a “fundamental choice” that according to Raoul Moati must be thought in the light of realism.

The highest prize of the architectural world was awarded to Swiss architect Peter Zumthor in 2009. His phenomenological approach, paying special attention to natural landscapes and local building traditions, is at odds with the dominant contemporary architectural design. He has the merit of raising the thorny question of what architecture means at a time of widespread urban living and the crisis of place.
