The root of Sigmund Freud's approach to psychiatric treatment resides in bringing the id, the hidden source of human passion, to the surface. The ego - formed to negotiate the id's interactions with reality - and the superego - the critical, moralistic part of the mind - remain in...

Cet ouvrage s'efforce de rectifier une telle perspective, bien ancrée tant chez les spécialistes de la pensée politique que dans le grand public,...

In courses taught Socratically, even the most gifted students can struggle, and many others are lost in a fog for months. Gold offers a meta approach to teaching legal reasoning,...

In a world that is too often, seen as a clash of civilizations, some believe there is another way, a path that involves engagement, dialogue, and respect. In Thomas Michel's new book, Peace and Dialogue in a Plural Society, he explores how Fethullah Gulen is one of those, speaking most vocally in favor of a world community, where different faiths and nations can come together at one table to solve, the multitude of problems facing today's world.

Bilan de la recherche sur la psychologie sociale.
Dans son ambition de scientificité, la recherche en sciences sociales a été dominée au XXe siècle par une approche positiviste stricte, axée sur le modèle expérimental et la quantification. Dans le dernier quart du siècle, des chercheurs de plus en plus nombreux ont mis en question cet exclusivisme, insuffisant à leurs yeux si l'on veut explorer et comprendre la réalité sociale, en perpétuelle...

The ambiguity of what HD is all about is intense enough for many to be shocked by it. Can we see this intensity for what it is rather than define it and explain it away? And maybe an organic process of redefinition starts to take place as we go along ~ AK Within a couple of weeks,...
