Recent scholarship on Śaivism has significantly expanded our knowledge of the religious dimensions of Medieval Śaiva movements. However, the philosophical aspects displayed by some of the texts produced in these milieux remain largely unrecognized. The present study helps fill this lacuna by exploring the sophisticated and original philosophical system elaborated by the Kashmiri Śaiva nondualists Utpaladeva (fl. c. 925-975) and Abhinavagupta (fl. c. 975-1025). The book shows that this system cannot be reduced to a mere scriptural exegesis and examines the genesis of the main concepts found in the Pratyabhijñā (“Recognition”) philosophy while taking into account the complexity of the philosophical field (already occupied by various currents, Buddhist as well as Brahmanical) in which Utpaladeva’s thought was developed. Si les récents travaux de recherche consacrés au śivaïsme ont permis de mieux comprendre les dimensions religieuses des mouvements śivaïtes médiévaux, les aspects proprements philosophiques de certains des textes produits dans ces milieux demeurent largement méconnus. La présenté étude se propose de contribuer à combler cette lacune en explorant le système philosophique complexe et original élaboré par les śivaïtes non dualistes cachemiriens Utpaladeva (925-975) et Abhinavagupta (975-1025). Montrant que ce système ne se réduit pas à une exégèse scripturaire, l’ouvrage examine la genèse des concepts de la philosophie de la Pratyabhijñā ou “Reconnaissance” en prenant en compte la complexité du champ philosophique (déjà investi par divers courants aussi bien bouddhiques que brahmaniques) dans lequel la pensée d’Utpaladeva s’est développée.

Au cours des deux derniers siècles, la Banque de Montréal s’est trouvée au cœur du développement économique et financier du Canada. Publié à l’occasion du bicentenaire de la première banque canadienne, Un destin plus grand que soi puise dans l’iconographie de cette institution financière pour raconter son histoire de ses origines jusqu’à nos jours. Retraçant le passé de la Banque de Montréal grâce à des images d’objets, de ses dirigeants, de documents essentiels et de publicités aujourd’hui tombées dans l’oubli, Laurence B. Mussio illustre son émergence progressive. En dévoilant petit à petit sa perception de sa direction, sa culture, la communauté, ses triomphes et ses difficultés, il offre un aperçu de la personnalité de cette banque, de ses innovations, de ses technologies, de ses projets d’édification de la nation et de son héritage architectural. La mosaïque qui en résulte jette un éclairage unique sur l’expérience vécue par la Banque de Montréal au fil des ans. Si chacun des éléments visuels évoque un épisode particulier aussi divertissant qu’extraordinaire, collectivement, ces objets révèlent une histoire beaucoup plus complète. De la lecture de ce livre se dégage l’image d’une banque qui a façonné l’univers canadien et nord-américain tout en se laissant modeler par lui. À partir d’une gamme incroyablement vaste de documents, Un destin plus grand que soi célèbre l’évolution d’une banque et la manière dont elle a laissé sa marque.

Gabriel Marcel (1889-1973) stands outside the traditional canon of twentieth-century French philosophers. Where he is not simply forgotten or overlooked, he is dismissed as a 'relentlessly unsystematic' thinker, or, following Jean-Paul Sartre's lead, labelled a 'Christian existentialist' - a label that avoids consideration of Marcel's work on its own terms. How is one to appreciate Marcel's contribution, especially when his oeuvre appears to be at odds with philosophical convention? Helen Tattam proposes a range of readings as opposed to one single interpretation, a series of departures or explorations that bring his work into contact with critical partners such as Henri Bergson, Paul Ricoeur and Emmanuel Lévinas, and offer insights into a host of twentieth-century philosophical shifts concerning time, the subject, the other, ethics, and religion. Helen Tattam's ambitious study is an impressively lucid account of Marcel's engagement with the problem of time and lived experience, and is her first monograph since the award of her doctorate from the University of Nottingham.
