Boèce, Ou La Chaîne Des Savoirs
Les rencontres qui furent a l'origine de ce recueil ont tente de faire le point sur les sources, la nature, la portee et la posterite de l'oeuvre de Boece (c. 480-c. 524), et d'informer sur le developpement, le renouvellement et l'actualisation des recherches menees sur et autour de ce penseur. Un tel desir de bilan interdisciplinaire, qui fut dicte par l'ampleur meme de sa production et de ses centres d'interet, a conduit a elargir le plus possible le champ des competences, en lui faisant couvrir les quatres rubriques traditionnelles de la science boecienne que sont "trivium" (grammaire, dialectique, rhetorique), "quadrivium" (arithmetique, musique, geometrie, astronomie), theologie et phil...

In this book an international team of experts representing several academic disciplines examines the power relationship between peoples and their rulers. It is among the first to study this globally as a problem of nation states. From populism in 19th-century Latin America to eastern Europe since the collapse of communism, to the Arab Spring and contemporary Russia and China, the cases in thi...
