Mises à jour gratuites en ligne. Extrait : Thomas Reid (26 avril 1710 à Strachan - 7 octobre 1796 à Glasgow) est un philosophe écossais contemporain de David Hume, fondateur de l'école écossaise de philosophie. Thomas Reid passe sa jeunesse à Aberdeen, où il enseigne de 1752 à 1764. Il y crée une association littéraire et philosophique appelée le Club des Sages et y conçoit la première partie de son œuvre. En 1764, il remplace Adam Smith à l'université de Glasgow et publie sa Recherche sur l'entendement humain d'après les principes du sens commun. Selon lui, le bon sens, au sens philosophique du terme, est, ou du moins devrait être, à la base de toute recherche philosophique. Il prône le réalisme direct, ou réalisme du bon sens, s'opposant en cela aux idées de Locke et de Descartes, ainsi qu'à presque tous les philosophes modernes venus après eux. Ses théories sont très bien reçues et Hume corrige le premier manuscrit de sa Recherche. Sa théorie de la connaissance a fortement influencé sa théorie de la morale. Selon lui, toute épistémologie doit conduire à une éthique pratique : lorsque la philosophie confirme nos croyances, il ne reste plus qu'à agir en conséquence, car nous savons ce qui est juste. Sa philosophie morale rappelle le stoïcisme des Anciens (il cite souvent Cicéron à qui il emprunte le terme sensus communis via la Scolastique et Thomas d'Aquin) ainsi que l'éthique chrétienne. Sa renommée est entachée par les attaques de Kant et de , siècle. George Edward Moore lui a redonné une certaine notoriété en recommandant le bon sens comme méthode ou critère philosophique et, plus récemment, ...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more

Excerpt: Lester Bowles "Mike" Pearson, PC, OM, CC, OBE (23 April 1897 27 December 1972) was a Canadian professor, historian, civil servant, statesman, diplomat, and politician, who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1957 for organizing the United Nations Emergency Force to resolve the Suez Canal Crisis. He was the 14th Prime Minister of Canada from 22 April 1963, until 20 April 1968, as the head of two back-to-back minority governments following elections in 1963 and 1965. During his time as Prime Minister, Pearson's minority government introduced universal health care, student loans, the Canada Pension Plan, the Order of Canada, and the current Canadian flag. During his tenure, Prime Minister Pearson also convened the Royal Commission on Bilingualism and Biculturalism. With these accomplishments, together with his groundbreaking work at the United Nations and in international diplomacy, Pearson is generally considered among the most influential Canadians of the 20th century. Pearson was born in Newtonbrook, Toronto, the son of Edwin Arthur Pearson, a Methodist (later United Church of Canada) minister and Anne Sarah Bowles. He graduated from Hamilton Collegiate Institute in Hamilton, Ontario in 1913 at the age of 16. Later that same year, he entered Victoria College at the University of Toronto, where he lived in residence in Gate House and shared a room with his brother Duke.

It was the result of this lifelong study of the natural world and his devotion to empirical evidence that he felt atheism was the only rational deduction available in light of all evidence saying, "My practice as a scientist is atheistic. That is to say, when I set up an experiment I assume no god, angel or devil is going to interfere with its course... I should therefore be intellectually dishonest if I were not also atheistic in the affairs of the world." He was educated at Eton and New C...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=62417 ... Read more
