Cet ouvrage présente de manière synthétique et très didactique une introduction à la pensée des grands auteurs de l’histoire de la philosophie. En ce sens, le but poursuivi est à la fois de retenir les principales idées de chaque auteur et de montrer l’articulation entre elles. En effet, trop souvent encore, un auteur n’est approché que partiellement, sans replacer son texte ou sa pensée dans un itinéraire composé aussi bien d’évolutions que de ruptures. Toute la richesse de l’histoire de la philosophie est là : un renouvellement incessant de questions, l’adoption de prismes distincts, la discussion entre idées, époques et cultures.

Today, “simple living” is a rallying cry for anti-consumerists, environmentalists, and anyone concerned with humanity’s effect on the planet. But what is so revolutionary about a simple life? And why are we so fascinated with simplicity today? A Philosophy of Simple Living charts the ideas, motivations, and practices of simplicity from antiquity to the present day. Bringing together an array of people, practices, and movements, from Henry David Thoreau to Steve Jobs, and from Cynics and Shakers to the “slow movement,” voluntary simplicity, and degrowth, this book is as comprehensive as it is concise. Written in elegant, spare prose, A Philosophy of Simple Living will be of great benefit to all who wish to declutter and pare back their complicated, modern lives.

Régulièrement associé à des personnalités marquantes, chefs d'Etat ou grands intellectuels, le prestige est une caractéristique importante souvent mobilisée dans les analyses des politiques latino-américaines. Cet ouvrage regroupe des contributions qui s'emploient à étudier ce phénomène dans la diversité de ses occurences. Proche du charisme personnel, le prestige politique s'en distingue car il peut s'appliquer également à des institutions, des groupes religieux, des idéologies, des types d'action, et des symboles.

Tourist destinations are subject to the strategies and interactions of the people who reside in them, with complementary and sometimes conflicting interests. To ensure that these destinations remain competitive, Destination Management Organizations (DMOs) are tasked with stimulating cooperation between all partners (independents, organizations, networks). Tourist Destinations According to Stakeholder Strategies is based on a series of case studies that are analyzed and discussed from a dual geographical and managerial perspective. This enables us to extract operational typologies and propose recommendations for actors in the tourism sector. The authors have opted for an original and innovative name for the object of study, "Localized Tourism Systems" (LTS), thus emphasizing the triple aim of territorialization, tourism activities and actors that interact together in collective projects.

The capability approach has developed significantly since Amartya Sen was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1998. It is now recognised as being highly beneficial in the analysis of poverty and inequality, but also in the redefinition of policies aimed at improving the well-being of individuals. The approach has been applied within numerous sectors, from health and education to sustainable development, but beyond the obvious interest that it represents for the classical economics tradition, it has also encountered certain limitations. While acknowledging the undeniable progress that the approach has made in renewing the thinking on the development and well-being of a population, this book takes a critical stance. It focuses particularly on the approach’s inadequacy vis-à-vis the continental phenomenological tradition and draws conclusions about the economic analysis of development. In a more specific sense, it highlights the fact that the approach is too bound by standard economic logic, which has prevented it from taking account of a key ‘person’ dimension — namely, the ability of an individual to assume responsibility. As a result, this book advocates the notion that if the approach is used carelessly in relation to development policies, it can cause a number of pernicious effects, some of which may lead to disastrous consequences. Due to its multidisciplinary nature, this book will be of interest to those working in the fields of economics, philosophy, development studies and sociology.
