"Comment la femme fait-elle l'apprentissage de sa condition, comment l'éprouve-t-elle, dans quel univers se trouve-t-elle enfermée, quelles évasions lui sont permises, voilà ce que je chercherai à décrire. Alors seulement nous pourrons comprendre quels problèmes se posent aux femmes qui, héritant d'un lourd passé, s'efforcent de forger un avenir nouveau. Quand j'emploie les mots "femme" ou "féminin" je ne me réfère évidemment à aucun archétype, à aucune immuable essence ; après la plupart de mes affirmations il faut sous-entendre "dans l'état actuel de l'éducation et des moeurs". Il ne s'agit pas ici d'énoncer des vérités éternelles mais de décrire le fond commun sur lequel s'élève toute existence féminine singulière." Simone de Beauvoir.

Nous commencerons par discuter les points des vue pris sur la femme par la biologie, la psychanalyse, le materialisme historipue. Nous essaierons de montrer ensuite positivement comment la "realite feminine" s'est constituee, pourquoi la femme a ete definie comme l'Autre et quelles en ont ete les consequences du point de vue des femmes le monde tel qu'il leur est propose; et nous pourrons comprendre a quelles difficultes elles se heurtent au moment ou, essayant de s'evader de la sphere qui leur a ete juspu'a present assignee, elles pretendent participer au mitsein humain.

Ideology of Purity challenges the assumption that animal breeding has served as a reliable model for eugenics through a direct comparison of the views of eugenicists with those of animal breeders. Eugenicists have cited animal breeding to justify their conceptions on human heredity and purity, misunderstanding the true meaning behind these principles and practices. Rather than accepting eugenic rhetoric at face value, this book examines how concepts like purity have been understood and applied differently in animal breeding and human eugenics. It explores how government policies have responded to both groups and aligned their demands. Historian Margaret E. Derry shows that the state promoted different forms of “purity” for animals and humans, and that the perceived parallels were more rhetorical than real. Through an analysis of topics such as nature versus nurture and the role of selective breeding, this book uncovers fundamental differences in goals, methods, and assumptions surrounding breeding. By drawing the conclusion that connections between eugenics and animal breeding were largely constructed through suggestive language rather than substantive similarity, Derry offers a new and critical perspective on the historical relationship between science, ideology, and policy.

La philosophie en terre d'Islam n'a pas seulement recueilli l'héritage des Grecs. Son rôle dans l'histoire ne s'est pas achevé avec Averroës. Jusqu'à nos jours, elle n'a cessé d'engendrer une des plus riches métaphysiques qui soient.Henry Corbin fait plus ici que nous révéler les moments de cette longue histoire. Il en dévoile le sens et l'intention herméneutique : comment, des Ismaéliens à Avicenne, de Sohravardî ou d'Ibn 'Arabî à l'École d'Ispahan, s'est constituée une exégèse du Livre saint, et comment est née une philosophie prophétique.Désormais, il convient que ces pensées ne restent pas inconnues du public occidental, mais qu'elles prennent enfin leur place dans le cours de notre propre questionnement.

This guidebook offers a pragmatic roadmap that helps teams scale agentic AI across the enterprise, including digital product development. Part 1 follows a structured seven-day arc to guide professionals through RE fundamentals—elaboration, documentation, quality assurance, and ongoing management—while showing where GenAI adds real value. It contrasts agile and waterfall approaches and grounds theory in practice-ready examples. Part 2 explores the evolution of AI into the agentic era, emphasizing trustworthy and green AI as pillars for responsible adoption. It presents a playbook for scaling beyond pilots, reshaping operating models, and embedding agent engineering. A novel product-by-development-process matrix illustrates how agentic technologies enhance both digital products and the way they are built.This book is specially designed to address the needs of product managers, requirements engineers, enterprise architects, and digital transformation leaders.
