Colloque sur l'imaginaire durandien

Colloque sur l'imaginaire durandien :
Perspectives empiriques et pratiques en Amérique du Nord

Université Saint-Paul
6 et 7 juin 2012

Le COLLOQUE 2012 SUR L’IMAGINAIREDURANDIEN vous donne l’occasion de participer à un vaste forum multidisciplinaire de chercheurs d’Amérique du Nord dont l’intérêt commun consiste à poursuivre des travaux en rapport, par quelques aspects, avec l’œuvre de Gilbert Durand (les structures anthropologiques de l’imaginaire, la mythologie, les univers mythiques d’Yves Durand, la philosophie de l’imaginaire de Jean-Jacques Wunenburger). Que se fait-il d’original dans le « Nouveau Monde » autour de cette théorie : nos procédés, nos méthodologies, nos référents culturels, nos domaines d’application…?
Cette œuvre sur l’imaginaire évoque des domaines et des thèmes les plus variés, tels que l’éducation, la psychologie et la psychothérapie, l’anthropologie et l’ethnologie, l’histoire, l’éthique dans sa diversité d’applications, la spiritualité et les sciences religieuses, les loisirs, la gestion et le leadership, la santé, les communications sociales, le pluralisme culturel, l’étude des conflits et bien d’autres!
Le COLLOQUE 2012 SUR L’IMAGINAIRE DURANDIEN est un rendez-vous unique et inédit avec des personnes clés de l’œuvre de Gilbert Durand : son épouse Chaoying Durand-Sun, Yves Durand (le créateur du test AT.9), le philosophe durandien de l’imaginaire Jean-Jacques Wunenburger et l’historien et sociologue Gérard Bouchard, chercheur sur les imaginaires collectifs.

E. Brady - The Sublime and Environmental Ethics


Conférence | Talk

(University of Edimburgh)

The Sublime and Environmental Ethics


Since its heyday in the eighteenth century, the natural sublime has largely fallen out of favour. What is the relevance of the natural sublime today? In this talk, I argue for its contemporary home in environmental aesthetics and ethics. As in the past, sublimity functions to identify and characterize the challenging, humbling experiences humans have with the natural environment. The sublime moves us beyond the tranquil, scenic, and cute to pin down a set of ?difficult? natural qualities: towering, dizzying, raging, blasting, disordered, and so on. Aesthetic engagement of this kind, I argue, engenders a distinctive type of aesthetic-moral relationship with the natural world, and one which can potentially feed into environmental ethics.

B. Longuenesse - Kant's "I" in "I ought to" and Freud's Superego

Kant's "I" in "I ought to" and Freud's Superego

There are striking structural similarities between Freud’s ego and Kant’s transcendental unity of apperception, which for Kant grounds our use of “I” in “I think.”  There are also striking similarities between Freud’s superego and Kant’s account of the mental structure that grounds our use of “I” in the moral “I ought to.”  The paper explores the latter similarities, focusing on three main points:  the conflict of motivations internal to the mind, the relation between discursive and pre-discursive representation of moral motivation, the unconscious character of moral motivation.  The suggestion is that Freud offers resources for a naturalized account (an account in terms of the causal development of empirical human beings) of just those features of our moral motivation that, according to Kant, seem to make it least amenable to a naturalistic explanation.  How much of a revision of Kant´s analysis of moral justification is thereby entailed is beyond the purview of the paper.
