PHILOSOPHy Why Something, Why Not Nothing? Élie During Patrice Maniglier, Quentin Meillassoux, David Rabouin
Series « MétaphysiqueS » 232 pages • 22 €
This question seems to sum up some of the virtues and all the sins attributed to metaphysics. Indisputably unanswerable, it reveals how demoded, even inept, is this branch of philosophy, highlighting its inevitable,
necessary, even ultimate aspects. It is a tangle of difficulties and concepts whose possible solutions have not been exhausted by classic doctrines, and which are still the object of fertile discussion.
This dictionary casts a historical and conceptual light on all the debates and controversies that enter into the phenomenon of racism – from everyday stigmatization (insults) to organized massacres – hence the choice to take into account the demarcations of the phenomenon (intolerance, ethnocentrism, xeno-
phobia) as well as its hard core (doctrinal constructions and biological concepts). This Dictionary of Racism is equally a Dictionary of Antiracism: the various traditions emanating from Abolitionism, Anti-colonialism, Anti-imperialism, Anti-nationalism and Anti-fascism are analysed in numerous articles.
Through accounts of case histories including clinical, technical and theoretical aspects, this book presents conjugal problematics inherent to the life of all couples such as sexuality
and the desire for children, the critical stage of a the birth of a baby, as well as two painful situations regularly encountered: conjugal violence and extraconjugal relations.

Series « Que sais-je ? » 128 pages • 9 € ISBN : 978-2-13-062033-4
Publication date : 02.05.2013
Marcel Proust’s work is a monument of so many pages that some readers are scared off and others, fascinated. But whatever their reaction, it holds a special place in the history of literature. In just 100 words, discover or rediscover the man and his work
in all its many facets. In a hundred themes and words, Michel Erman exposes a vision, that of Proust at work, contemplating the spectacle of the passing world and reminding us that ‘lost time’ may only be recovered through words.
