The Philosophical Reception of Pragmatism in France : William James and his Interactions with Charles Renouvier (1870-1912)
No full textL’intérêt pour le pragmatisme américain marque, entre autres, le paysage intellectuel français, notamment à la fin du XIXᵉ et au début du XXᵉ siècle. Ceci nous amène à nous interroger sur la réception française de cette philosophie américaine, ainsi que sur les moments marquants qui permettent de découvrir et de comprendre l’histoire même du pragmatisme en terre française. C’est cette tâche que nous nous efforçons d’effectuer dans notre étude. À travers l’examen du pragmatisme, particulièrement celui de William James dans ses rapports avec Charles Renouvier, l’un des philosophes français qui a marqué son époque. Par son combat intellectuel contre toute forme d’absolu, sa reconnaissance de l’expérience (ou phénomène) et sa thèse fondamentale de la liberté, nous pouvons comprendre sa philosophie néocritique et les raisons pour lesquelles Renouvier a influencé son allié intellectuel, James, et l’a également mis sur le chemin, lui permettant de construire « une pensée américaine ». Notre analyse philosophique de la réception française du pragmatisme permettra ainsi de découvrir le rôle majeur et la contribution essentielle de Renouvier dans l’histoire de cette philosophie américaine, en l’occurrence celle de James, dont l’œuvre pragmatiste doit beaucoup au philosophe français. Sa correspondance (1868-1899) avec James, ses traductions françaises des premiers articles de ce penseur, ainsi que leur publication dans sa revue ̶ La Critique philosophique ̶ constituent un « moment » marquant, qui redéfinit et met en valeur la figure majeure de Renouvier, ses affinités intellectuelles avec James et l’influence qu’il a exercée dans l’œuvre philosophique de l’auteur américain. L’impact de Renouvier sur James se fait ressentir dès les premiers articles de ce dernier et s’étend jusque dans ses ouvrages posthumes : la thèse fondamentale de la liberté que Renouvier avait énoncée dans ses Essais de critique générale se retrouve ̶ par ses implications et ses conséquences ̶ sous diverses formes, dans la philosophie de l’auteur du pragmatisme. Avec une originalité remarquable, James a su adapter cette philosophie, dans un contexte américain, en lui donnant une réelle dimension pragmatique, qui cadre avec ses aspirations philosophiques et intellectuelles.Interest in American pragmatism characterizes among other things the French intellectual landscape, in particular at the turn of the 20th century. This leads us to inquire into the French reception of what was originally an American currant of thought as well as its significant stages of development, making it possible to follow and understand the actual history of pragmatism in France. Such is the aim of this study: an examination of pragmatism, with particular emphasis on William James and his interactions with Charles Renouvier, who was one of the most influential French philosophers of his time. By focusing on his intellectual battle against any form of the absolute, his recognition of experience (or phenomena) and his fundamental thesis on freedom, we can grasp his neo-critical philosophy and the reasons for which he influenced his intellectual ally, James, and opened the way, enabling him to elaborate an American philosophical doctrine. Our philosophical analysis of the French reception of pragmatism thus makes it possible to bring out the major role and the essential contribution of Renouvier with regard to the historical development of American philosophy, namely that of James, whose pragmatist endeavor owes a lot to his French counterpart. Renouvier’s correspondence with James, his translations of the latter’s early articles as well as their publication in his journal, La Critique philosophique, represent a significant “moment”, which redefines and reveals Renouvier as a major figure, his intellectual affinities with James and the influence he exerted on the philosophical work of the American author. Renouvier’s impact on James can be perceived already in the early articles of the latter and extend up until his final texts: the fundamental thesis of freedom that Renouvier had formulated in his Essais de critique générale can be traced ̶ through its implications and consequences ̶ under various forms in the philosophy of the author of pragmatism. James was able to adapt this philosophy with a remarkable originality within the context of American thought, bestowing on it a truly pragmatist dimension, in accordance with its philosophical and intellectual aspirations
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
