What could be the point of teaching such works of bygone cultural and literary inheritance as Cervantes' Don Quixote and Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice in schools today? This book argues that the narratives and stories of such works are of neglected significance and value for contemporary understanding of human moral association and character. However, in addition to offering detailed analysis of the moral educational potential of these and other texts, the present work reports on a pioneering project, recently pursued by the Jubilee Centre for Character and Virtues, concerned precisely with the use of these and other stories for moral and character education in schools. The success of the 'Knightly Virtues' project is an inspiring story in its own right and should therefore be of enormous interest to all schools, teachers and parents rightly concerned with this all-important aspect of their children's educational development.

Contrary to popular belief, professional philosophers want and need to be heard. Lacking a large and general public in this country, they turn to audiences of peers and rivals. But these audiences are found either in giant, unfocused professional bodies, or in restrictive groups of specialists. In this respect, the Society for Phenomenology and Existential Philosophy can claim a unique role among academic organizations in this country. Now in its tenth year, it has become one of the most important forums in America for the open exchange of ideas. The Society has grown considerably since its founding, and its annual meetings attract scholars in philosophy and other disciplines from across the country and abroad. But these meetings differ markedly from others: too large to be dominated by any single clique or doctrine, they are at the same time small enough to encourage lively discussion within its organized sessions and not just in the corridors outside. The Society derives its focus from the two closely allied philosophical "directions" indicated in its title. Yet from the beginning it has included in its meetings a sizeable number of contributors who are not identified with or even sympathetic to these directions, but are at least willing to engage in a dialogue with those who are. Furthermore, the Society has accomplished to a limited degree something rare indeed in American intellectual life: an interdisciplinary ex- 2 INTRODUCTION change.

Voici l’histoire, sur un siècle, de la plus célèbre organisation policière de la planète. Pour la raconter, les auteurs ont pu consulter des milliers de pièces d’archives inexplorées et bénéficier d’une centaine de témoignages d’agents en service ou retirés. Ils nous entraînent dans un périple au cœur du mythe : de l’épopée des tueurs de gangsters à celle des chasseurs d’espions nazis, de la chasse aux communistes à la véritable histoire de l’exécution des époux Rosenberg, dans les coulisses du Kremlin sur les traces de « Solo », la taupe du FBI, ou dans « Cointelpro », la plus redoutable des opérations menées par le Bureau. Ils disent leur vérité sur l’assassinat du président Kennedy et dessinent à ce sujet les contours d’un inquiétant complot. Certains traquent la vérité du scandale du Watergate, d’autres complotent pour renverser le président Nixon. Ils se livrent à d’inquiétantes opérations d’infiltration de la Mafia, avant de filer au cœur des réserves indiennes en proie à de sanglantes révoltes. Comment font-ils face aux tueurs en série ? Que trouvent-ils en Afrique, au Moyen-Orient, en Asie, au fil des pistes qui débouchent sur les attaques du 11 Septembre et à l’heure où vacillent les certitudes en matière de sécurité ? Une enquête exceptionnelle, par la qualité des témoins rencontrés, la richesse et le caractère inédit des documents rassemblés sur une institution qui aspirerait volontiers, demain, à la faveur de la guerre contre le terrorisme, les mafias, les trafics en tout genre, à assurer la vocation d’une police mondiale. Fabrizio Calvi est auteur d’ouvrages et de documentaires sur la criminalité organisée et les services secrets. David Carr-Brown est réalisateur et producteur de reportages et documentaires pour la télévision. Ce livre fait l’objet d’une adaptation télévisée sur France 5, sous forme de documentaire, en cinq épisodes de 55 minutes. © Getty images Couverture : Christophe Billoret, cbisfr.fr Photogravure MCP

Reflexión oportuna sobre las cuestiones fundamentales de la filosofía y de la teoría de la educación, de gran ayuda para apreciar las principales fuentes e influencias filosóficas del pensamiento actual.

Un reporter enquête sur le sujet le plus sombre : sa propre vie. Minnesota, début des années 1980. David Carr est un jeune journaliste brillant et prometteur. Mais tous les soirs, la nuit tombe et les masques avec : l'enfant terrible écume les bars, se bat, sniffe, s'injecte, fume, engloutit, vole et deale tous les poisons sur lesquels il fait main basse. Cette double vie va durer vingt ans – jusqu'à la chute, et un douloureux combat pour revenir de l'ombre à la lumière. Ou presque, car il n'en sort pas indemne : le crack laisse de longues balafres dans sa mémoire. Nombre de ses souvenirs ont glissé dans l'oubli, et son cerveau a réécrit les plus inavouables pour échapper aux remords... Comment affronter la vérité de ce terrible passé ? Pour l'ancien junkie, devenu grand reporter au New York Times, la solution s'impose : il va faire de sa propre vie son prochain sujet d'investigation. C'est le début d'une enquête de trois ans, au cours de laquelle il accumule plus de soixante témoignages de proches, policiers, médecins et officiers de justice. Son livre est le récit de cette histoire vraie : à la fois une chronique captivante sur les paradis artificiels, une immersion dans les eaux troubles du trafic de stupéfiants, et une recherche du temps perdu, aux confins de la mémoire et de la folie. " Journaliste de légende au parcours chaotique " selon Stéphane Lauer (correspondant du journal Le Monde à New York), David Carr (1956-2015) est une figure du journalisme d'investigation de ces quarante dernières années.
