The Method and Vision of Paul Benichou: An Essay - III: Benichou and Twentieth-Century Philosophy Hegel (in fact, German philosophy in general) was little read and understood in France before the Second World War. Vincent Descombes has called the philosophical generation of France after 1945 that of the "three H's" (Hegel, Husserl, and Heidegger), and the generation after 1960 that of the "three 'masters of suspicion'" (Marx, Nietzsche, and Freud). One looks in vain in Bénichou's writings, though, for an account of his relation to twentieth-century philosophy. www.plu.edu /~jensenmk/benichoumeth3.html

AllRefer.com - philosophy : The History of Philosophy : The Twentieth Century (Philosophy, Terms And Concepts) - Encyclopedia Both structuralism and poststructuralism originated mostly in France but soon came to influence thinkers throughout the West, especially in Germany and the United States. In France and Germany, major philosophical movements have been the phenomenology of Edmund Husserl and the existentialism of Martin Heidegger and Jean-Paul Sartre. Major concerns in American and British philosophy in the 20th cent. reference.allrefer.com /encyclopedia/P/philsphy-the-history-of-philosophy-the-twentieth-century.html

20th century - Pictures The twentieth century was a remarkable shift in the very existence of humanity due to the technological, medical, social, ideological, and international innovations. The trends of mechanization of goods and services and networks of global communication, which were begun in the 19th century, continued at an ever-increasing pace in the 20th. As a means of recording the passage of time, the 20th century was that century which lasted from 1901 - 2000. www.greatestinfo.org /20th_century

In This Issue The American Historical Review, 104.5 The History Cooperative The four books that Cohen discusses, although focusing on such diverse themes as the meaning of the twentieth century, fins de siècle in British history, and various manifestations of apocalypticism, all are overwhelmingly centered on the West. The queen figured prominently in royal representations, while caricatures feminized the king's appearance or portrayed him, in relations to France, the constitution or the press, as a monster brutalizing women. The most important of these, he argues, is that the significance of this year as "end time" is grounded in a particular method of reckoning the passage of time that does not have the same meaning for all peoples. www.historycooperative.org /journals/ahr/104.5/ah000xiv.html   (1209 words)

Art Movements, periods, styles, trends, history By the mid-twentieth century the distinction between the two had largely disappeared, and today Realism and Naturalism are used interchangeably. Effective Realist Art, such as Eric Fischl's psychologically charged rendering of domestic drama, recalls the nineteenth century sense of the term as a powerful means of commenting on, and the illumination of, contemporary experience. The term "art for art's sake"-which had been coined in the early nineteenth century-was now widely used to describe experimental art that needed no social or religious justification for its existence. www.e-fineart.com /art_movements.html   (1209 words)

Sample text for Library of Congress control number 2002016908 Anarchism was a branch of socialism that arose in mid-nineteenth-century France and England as a combined legacy of the Enlightenment belief in the perfectibility of humankind and the Romantic fervor for noble savages and stormy rebelliousness. In the first two decades of the twentieth century, its members moved constantly throughout the Ottoman Empire, the Transcaucasus, Russia, Persia, Europe, and the United States, often conspiring with terrorists of other nationalities and sharing Russian-derived revolutionary ideas and techniques with them wherever the message was welcome. The turn of the nineteenth century coincided with a rash of anarchist bombings and assassinations in western Europe and the United States (more on which in the next chapter). www.loc.gov /catdir/samples/prin031/2002016908.html   (1209 words)

Jeremy Bentham, by Robert Clark Whilst working on his Introduction and Penal Code Bentham drafted a critique of Blackstone's Commentaries on the Laws of England (1765-9), the most authoritative legal work of his day, which he entitled Comment on the Commentaries, most of which would not be published until the twentieth century. If, however, we set aside the conception of Bentham which had become popular by the mid-nineteenth century, he can be seen as radical philosopher who made a very significant contribution to Enlightenment thought. Bentham was initially enthusiastic about the French revolution and even offered the new regime suggestions on juridical and legislative procedures by way of his Draught of a new plan for the organisation of the Judicial Establishment in France (1790) and Essay on Political Tactics (1791). www.utilitarian.net /bentham/about/20020915.htm   (1209 words)

20TH CENTURY DEMOCIDE (Genocide and Mass Murder) It is these people that have committed the kilo and megamurders of our century and we must not lose their identity under the abstraction of "state," "regime," "government," or "communist." Table 1.4 lists those men most notorious and singularly responsible for the megamurders of this century. Moreover, once those states that had been mortal enemies, that had frequently gone to war (as have France and Germany in recent centuries), became democratic, war ceased between them. He ordered the death of millions, knowingly set in train events leading to the death of millions of others, and as the ultimate dictator, was responsible for the death of still millions more killed by his henchman. www.hawaii.edu /powerkills/DBG.CHAP1.HTM   (5228 words)

Equinox - Books - Book Details First published in France in 1993, and since then translated into Italian (1995) and Romanian (2003), Twentieth Century Mythologies provides an indispensable resource not only for scholars of religion and myth, but also for those interested in both the history and the impact of ideas in the last century. Twentieth Century Mythologies does this by offering a comparative epistemology to examine the diverse scholarly definitions of, and hypotheses concerning, myth and myths—assembling both theorists and theories into a coherent picture in which the specific place, contributions, as well as shortcomings, of each becomes apparent. Because its topic is not so much the study of myth as much as it is theories of myth, this book aims at a rather precise goal: to make a contribution to writing a history of ideas in the twentieth century. www.equinoxpub.com /books/showbook.asp?bkid=82   (5228 words)

Holman.htm Reliance on myth, so the authors argue, is shown to be one of the most significant and durable features of 20th century warfare propaganda, used by both sides in all the conflicts covered in this book. However, its effective and useful role in time of war notwithstanding, it does distort a population's perception of reality and therefore often results in defeat: the myth-making that began as a means of sustaining belief in France's supremacy, and later her will and ability to resist, ultimately proved counterproductive in the process of decolonization. In each the role of myth was intricately bound up with memory, hope, belief, and ideas of nation. www.berghahnbooks.com /titles/Holman.htm   (5228 words)

BREAST CANCER "Cause and Cure" YOUR CHOICE! Perhaps following the example of his mother, Louis XIV now King of France insisted that the women of his court should wear low necklines, as a sign of respect to him and to God. Women were obliged however to cover their hair so wimples, hats or scarves were worn, even while labouring in the fields, in keeping with the dictates of the church and the accepted morality of the day. Women, he said, show even their breasts not just at dances, but even at church, 'they come thither to wound the eyes of the innocent and just, and to give death to those who are weak and staggering in virtue. www.teklinepublishing.com /bc-4.htm   (17588 words)

ORB Bibliographies: Children in the Middle Ages Abstract: In contrast to the notion of progressive sexual liberation in the West, juvenile sexual activity was increasingly repressed from the late Middle Ages to the beginning of the twentieth century. Here, these views are tested in the case of Jews in the Middle East & North Africa in the twentieth century, drawing on Jewish-Oriental autobiographical, ethnographical, & religious texts, & interviews conducted with 30 old women born in Oriental countries & now living in Israel. The increase in the number of unwed mothers & abandoned children since the middle of the seventeenth century in the cities, & the middle of the eighteenth century in the country, can be interpreted as a consequence of the closing of the brothels in the cities, & the breakdown of traditional behavior in the country. www.the-orb.net /bibliographies/children.html   (2508 words)

Military history of France - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The history of French colonial imperialism can be divided into two major eras: the first from the early seventeenth century to the middle of the eighteenth century, and the second from the early nineteenth century to the middle of the twentieth century. The eighteenth century saw France remain the dominant power in Europe, but begin to falter largely because of internal problems. Not used to such catastrophic defeats in the rigid power system of eighteenth-century Europe, many nations found existence under the French yoke difficult, sparking revolts, wars, and general instability that plagued the continent until 1815, when the forces of reaction finally triumphed. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Military_history_of_France   (8132 words)

RESUMES TOME 53 The urban network established in France in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries is hardly modified until the nineteenth and twentieth, but the population of the cities plummets during the fourteenth century, increases in the sixteenth, decreases at the French Revolution and soars during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. If as early as the twelfth century contention surrounds the creation of the communes of France, in the nineteenth century the confrontation from 1838 to 1880 within the commune of Peyrins on account of the districts of Génisseux and Mours constitutes a paradox. It is more difficult to summarize the evolution of the municipal institutions in France under the Ancien Régime because of their wide diversity, in spite of the attempt at standardization led by Laverdy from 1764 to 1771. www.u-bourgogne.fr /HISTOIREDROIT/6_res_53_GB.html   (8132 words)

Staff/Penny Brown I have published on aspects of French, English and Spanish nineteenth- and twentieth-century literature, especially women's writing, including books on the female novel of self-development in the early twentieth century and the portrayal of the child and childhood in nineteenth-century women's writing in England. Research for the latter project also sparked an interest in early writing for children and I am currently working on a critical history of children's literature in France. I have supervised postgraduate work at M.A., M.Phil, and Ph.D level, mostly on comparative topics and, in particular, on the work of George Sand; I would be happy to consider proposals for postgraduate work on these topics and on European children's literature. www.art.man.ac.uk /FRENCH/staff/brown.shtml   (123 words)

NYU IFS Syllabi We conclude with an effort to create a historical perspective on three key developments that have dominated public debate in the final decades of the century in France: immigration, the rise of the extreme Right, and the relationship of France to an increasingly integrated Europe. We begin with an examination of the Dreyfus Affair, an extraordinary national convulsion over anti-Semitism and a miscarriage of justice that left a powerful legacy for the rest of the twentieth century.

French literature of the 20th century - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia French literature of the twentieth century is, for the purpose of this article, literature written in French from (roughly) 1895 to 1990. Because of the creative spirit of the French literary and artistic movements at the beginning of the century, France gained the reputation as being the necessary destination for writers and artists. Twentieth century French literature was profoundly shaped by the historical events of the century and was also shaped by -- and a contributor to -- the century's political, philosophical, moral, and artistic crises. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/French_literature_of_the_20th_century   (1998 words)
