Les morales de Sartre, une logique de l'erreur
A partir des indications fragmentaires données par Sartre, il est possible de suivre sa tentative d’élaborer une morale à partir d’une « logique de l’erreur » qui n’est autre qu’une « logique des émotions ». De L’Esquisse d’une théorie des émotions au livre sur Flaubert, en passant par la psychanalyse existentielle, cette logique se décline comme une originale théorie de l’enfance qui, reprenant certains nœuds de la philosophie d’Alain, renoue les thèmes de la

Is America in Decline?
The rise of China and the global economic crisis have led many observers to speculate about whether the decline of American power, often predicted in the past, has now finally begun.
