Le convenu impose sa perception du monde et restreint l'agir humain au "comme il convient" d'une société de progrès.En pendant, le savoir chrétien propose une lecture de l'entour offrant à qui le comprend, une quiétude d'âme par delà les bruits marchands.Et tous deux se comportent en Langage façonnant notre rapport au monde.Qu'est-ce qu'un Langage ici? Une logique apprise écrivant nos vérités, nos pensées, nos jugements, nos attitudes, nos relations à autrui et à l'entour.Et le saisir, c'est saisir ce qui fait notre condition.

Anatomy to most people is a subject which suggests the cutting up of dead bodies (the word literally means cutting up). In addition it is generally known that Vesalius published a book in 1543 in which much of the human body was described in detail and more or less accurately. A subject which is dead and ancient fre- quently has little appeal especially if it appears to involve learning a large amount of factual information. For many years anatomy has had to struggle with these disadvantages and at times one has had the impression that there is almost a conspiracy on the part of everyone to suggest that anatomy is unnecessary. There is no doubt, however that a knowledge of the structures of the body, for that is what anatomy is, whether it is what can be seen with the naked eye or with different kinds of microscope, is an essential preliminary and corollary to the understanding of the functions of the body. It was no historical accident that Vesalius, the anatomist, preceded Harvey, the physiologist. No apology need be made for trying to present the basic facts of anatomy to anyone interested in the human body and to members of any profession which will have to cope with the physical and mental problems of children, men and women in health and in sickness. It is not intended that the reader should know every- thing contained in this book.

Since the 1950s Cyprus has been a place of tension, friction, and violence caused by the clashing interests and claims of the two local communities and three NATO allies - Greece, Turkey, and Britain.

The authors examine the relationship between social science and philosophy and ask what sort of work social science and an accompanying philosophy should do. They reintroduce the question of ontology, through the work of Roy Bhaskar. The book argues against philosophising and is committed to a philosophical approach grounded in the social sciences.

Offering a uniquely broad-based overview of the role of language choice in the construction of national, ethnic and religious identity, this textbook examines a wide range of specific cases from various parts of the world in order to arrive at some general principles concerning the links between language and identity.
