An Enquiry Concerning the Intellectual and Moral Faculties and Literature of Negroes

By: Henri Gregoire,Graham Hodges

Amongst other things, this book is a devastating critique of Thomas Jefferson's Notes on the State of Virginia, in which he mused about black inferiority. Its publication in 1810, after Jefferson's opposition to its appearance, was a major event for African Americans.

An Enquiry Concerning the Intellectual and Moral Faculties, and Literature of Negroes

By: Henri Grégoire,Graham Russell Hodges

Gregoire was an early nineteenth century French Roman Catholic bishop who turned his attention to the place of African Americans in Catholic and Euro-American thought. His work is, among other things, a devastating critique of Thomas Jefferson's Notes on the State of Virginia, in which the third president muses about black inferiority. Gregoire's views made an American edition difficult, as Jefferson opposed the book's appearance. An Enquiry is one of the few of Gregoire's thirty-plus books to be translated into English, and its publication in Brooklyn in 1810 was an event for African Americans. In this new edition, Graham Hodges presents a pristine reproduction of the original text in modern font, and offers a critical introduction to Gregoire, Franco-American abolitionism, and the influence of this important work on the development of the African American intellectual tradition.

Recherches sur l'histoire de la France Médiéval

Des Mérovingiens aux Premiers Capétiens

By: Robert-Henri Bautier

This selection of articles by Robert-Henri Bautier deals with the political and institutional history of France between the 6th and 12th centuries, and is above all concerned with the changing extent of the rulers' power from the rise of the Carolingians onwards. A subsequent volume will focus on the Capetians, while a further pair of volumes deal with economic history. The first studies here examine two general topics: the emergence of Paris as the undisputed capital of France, and the ceremony of Royal coronation and consecration. The following articles, on Carolingian France, reconsider the significance of the battle of Roncevaux and the importance of the region of Neustria, then study the decomposition of the Carolingian empire in Southern France and Catalonia. The last group is concerned with various aspects of the re-expansion of central power under the early Capetian kings and, finally, with the evolution of one of the fundamental organs of medieval municipal government, the échevinage. Cette sélection d’articles par Robert-Henri Bautier traite de l’histoire politique et institutionnelle française entre le VIe et le XIIe siècle, et s’intéresse avant tout à l’éntendue territoriale changeante du pouvoir monarchique dès le début de la dynastie carolingienne. Un volume subséquent se concentre sur les Capétiens et deux autres ont pour thème l’histoire économique. Les premières études inclues dans le présent recueil examinent deux sujets d’ordre général: l’avènement de Paris en tant que capitale incontestable de la France et le développement de la cérémonie du couronnement et de la consécration royale. Les études suivantes considèrent à nouveau la signification de la bataille de Roncevaux et l’importance de la région de Neustrie. L’auteur passe ensuite à l’analyse de la désagrégation de l’empire carolingien dans le Midi de la France et en Catalogne. Le dernier groupe d’études concerne divers aspects de la ré

Sonic Experience

A Guide to Everyday Sounds

By: Jean-François Augoyard,Henri Torgue

In a multidisciplinary work spanning musicology, electro-acoustic composition, architecture, urban studies, communication, phenomenology, social theory, physics, and psychology, Jean-François Augoyard, Henry Torgue, and their associates at the Centre for Research on Sonic Space and the Urban Environment (CRESSON) in Grenoble, France, provide an alphabetical sourcebook of eighty sonic/auditory effects. Their accounts of sonic effects such as echo, anticipation, vibrato, and wha-wha integrate information about the objective physical spaces in which sounds occur with cultural contexts and individual auditory experience. Sonic Experience attempts to rehabilitate general acoustic awareness, combining accessible definitions and literary examples with more in-depth technical information for specialists.

Medieval Exegesis, vol. 3

The Four Senses of Scripture

By: Henri de Lubac

For many years biblical scholars were convinced that the Middle Ages was marked by a so-called pre-critical understanding of the Bible, with only a handful of isolated exceptions -- like Andrew of St. Victor -- popping up as precursors of the historical-critical method. Here, however, Henri de Lubac draws on extensive documentation to demonstrate that even among the Victorines traditional exegesis involving an interplay between the literal and spiritual senses of Scripture is a constant throughout medieval exegesis. The one exception -- a radically important one, de Lubac readily admits -- was Joachim of Flora, whose doctrine is considered in the final chapter of this volume. This third English volume of de Lubac's monumental Medieval Exegesis covers volume 2, part 1 of his French volume and includes both the original Latin notes and an English version of the sources.

Essay on Time

A Brief Study of the Representation of Time in Religion and Magic

By: Henri Hubert

Time, as we experience it, is a social and cultural phenomenon. The pioneering study of the social representation of time was by Henri Hubert (1872-1927). Hubert was a core member of the group who worked with Émile Durkheim and a close collaborator with Marcel Mauss. His essay on time is a good example of the group's originality and intellectually creative "collective ferment." This is its first English translation, and includes its review by Mauss.

The History and Power of Writing

By: Henri-Jean Martin

Continuing on to the electronic revolution, Martin's account takes in the changes wrought on writing by computers and electronic systems of storage and communication, and offers surprising insights into the influence these new technologies have had on children born into the computer age. The power of writing to influence and dominate is, indeed, a central theme in this history, as Martin explores the processes by which the written word has gradually imposed its logic on society over four thousand years. The summation of decades of study by one of the world's great scholars on the subject, this fascinating account of writing explains much about the world we inhabit, where we uneasily confer, accept, and resist the power of the written word.

Les Fins Derniéres Selon Origéne

Les Fins Derniéres Selon Origéne

By: Henri Crouzel

This volume is concerned with the eschatology of Origen, the great 3rd century theologian and philosopher of Alexandria. Of all the doctrines attributed to him, those on the resurrection of man and the end of days have evoked the most opposition and controversy, from Antiquity to the Patristic scholarship of today. Professor Crouzel argues that the thought of Origen himself has been consistently misunderstood and distorted, from the time of Methodius of Olympia onwards, and that renewed examination of Origen's own surviving writings can lead to a radically differing assessment of the orthodoxy of his views. Among the particular points discussed are Origen's doctrine of Purgatory, commonly supposed to be a particularity of the Latin Church, and the relationship in his thought between the final purification at the end of time and the spiritual purification of existence here on earth. Ce volume traite de l’eschatologie d’Origène, le grand théologian et philosophe alexandrin du IIIe siècle. De toutes les doctrines qui lui sont attribuées, ce sont celles sur la resurrection de l’homme et a la fin des jours qui ont provoqué le plus d’oppositionet de controverse de l’Antiquitié jusqu’à notre époque. Le Père Henri Crouzel maintient que la pensée veritable d’Origène à été constamment mal interpretéee et corrompue et ce, dès l’époque de Méthode d’Olympe. Selon l’auteur, un nouvel examen des écrits d’Origène peut mener à une appréciation totalement différente de l’orthodoxie du theeologien. Parmi les points spécifiques debattus sont: la doctrine d’Origène sur la purgatoire - communément supposée être un domaine latin - et sur le rapport, dans ses pensées, entre l’ultime purificationde la fin des temps et celle, d’ordre spirituel, de l’existence ici-bas sur terre.

Vatican Council Notebooks

Volume 1

By: Henri de Lubac

“Surprising news!” With these words, Fr. Henri de Lubac, S.J., whose orthodoxy had been so vigorously attacked, responded to the announcement of his selection to participate in the 2nd Vatican Council. His participation as a theologian and expert would make a lasting impact on the Council, and his insights and comments are recorded in this long-awaited volume. These Notebooks trace the two years of preparation, the four conciliar sessions, and the three periods between sessions. They give us the opportunity to assist at the discussion of the schemas (initial drafts of conciliar texts), but also, during the meetings of the theological commission and the sub-commissions, at the elaboration and correction of the texts submitted to the Council fathers. The eminent theologian de Lubac is a sure guide for the reader, introducing us to the theological ferment of the Council and helping us to grasp what was at stake in the often animated debates. De Lubac does not hesitate to express clearly what he thinks of the theologians around him, of the new concepts appearing because of the Council, or of the problems he judges to be most serious for the Christian faith. These Notebooks invite us to a greater historical and theological understanding of the Council. Besides information about the numerous aspects of the conciliar assembly, what makes the testimony of these notebooks so captivating is the strongly rendered presence of men and their psychology. De Lubac excels in sketching the portrait of the participants with only a few words. Among the many interesting encounters, he tells of deepening his acquaintance with Josef Ratzinger, whom he describes as a “theologian as peaceable and kindly as he is competent”. In the same way, during the long discussion over the drafting of the constitution Gaudium et Spes, he observed the assertiveness of Karol Wojtyła, whose interventions struck him because of the seriousness, the rigor, and the solidity of his faith, which created in him a lively sense of spiritual friendship, which was reciprocated.
