Oral History Interview with Gilbert Meilaender
No full textThis interview was conducted with Gilbert Meilaender as part of “Moral Histories: Voices and Stories from the Founding Figures of Bioethics,” an oral history project of the Johns Hopkins University Berman Institute of Bioethics. Professor Meilaender is a Senior Research Professor at Valparaiso University. His areas of expertise include theological ethics, Christian ethics, human dignity, the philosophy of friendship, and adoption. He is the author of several books, including Bioethics: A Primer for Christians, Not by Nature but by Grace: Forming Families through Adoption, and Friendship: A Study in Theological Ethics. Professor Meilaender discusses his upbringing as the son of a Lutheran pastor, his education at Concordia Senior College and his path to academia after being ordained as a Lutheran minister. He discusses his graduate studies at Princeton University with mentor Paul Ramsey. He talks about his identity as a theological ethicist in a time when higher education was trying to distinguish the academic study of religion from theological study. He also discusses his experience with foster care and adoption, which shapes his view on reproductive technologies and the implications of the unquestioned use of such technologies. Professor Meilaender talks about his involvement with The Hastings Center and his work on the President’s Council on Bioethics during the George W. Bush administration. He notes that the Council’s work was philosophical, in contrast to law- and policy-oriented bioethics. He discusses the influence of the Council’s work on his thinking about human dignity, as well as the limits of bioethics, his approach to politics, and his belief in including religious views in public debate. The conversation concludes with reflections on his influences, friendships, correspondence with readers, and views on end-of-life care

No full textRecension de Gilbert Casasus, Suisse – Europe. Je t’aime moi non plus, Genève, Slatkine, 2024, 157 p., ISBN 9782832112809.Der Autor, ein bekannter Europaspezialist und emeritierter Professor an der Universität Fribourg (Schweiz), konnte die aktuellen Entwicklungen nicht kennen, insbesondere die von Präsident Trump gegen die Eidgenossenschaft verhängten Zölle von 39% . Und doch könnte dies die von Gilbert Casasus vertretenen Thesen für eine Schweiz auf eindrucksvolle Weise bestätigen, die sich durch ihre geografische Lage, aber auch durch ihre Kultur und Wirtschaf tendlich bewusst ist, zutiefst europäisch zu sein.The author, a well-known Europe specialist at UPEG and professor emeritus at the University of Fribourg (Switzerland), could not have known the current developments, in particular the 39% tariffs imposed by President Trump on the Swiss Confederation. And yet the latter could well confirm in a striking way the theses defended by Gilbert Casasus for a Switzerland finally aware of being profoundly European, by its geographical position of course, but also by its culture and economy.L’auteur, un spécialiste de l’Europe bien connu à l’UPEG, professeur émérite de l’université de Fribourg (Suisse), ne pouvait connaître les développements actuels, en particulier les droits de douane de 39% imposés par le président Trump à la Confédération helvétique. Et pourtant ces derniers pourraient bien confirmer de manière éclatante les thèses défendues par Gilbert Casasus pour une Suisse enfin consciente d’être profondément européenne, par sa position géographique bien sûr, mais aussi par sa culture et son économie
Le Platon de Gilbert Ryle
No full textPlato according to Gilbert Ryle.
The author reviews methodically each of the arguments upon which Professor Ryle establishes his thesis of an eventual trial of Plato, c. 370. This thesis completely upsets the usual chronological frame of reference as well as certain historical data concerning the interpretation of Plato's work, as done in the last half century. The author shows that double aspect, religious and political, of the older passages about Socrates's trial, does not authorize one to conclude that, on the one hand, passages of a religious nature are to be referred to an historical trial of Socrates, and on the other hand, that the passages, political in nature, are to be referred to an historical trial of Plato. This double aspect in the case of the passages in question, could be quite naturally explained in the general framework of the Socratic literature, and in particular in the one of the pamphlet of Polycratus. The author's conclusion is to say that Professor Ryle's position comes out of a logical rather than historical and positive procedure.L'auteur passe méthodiquement en revue chacun des arguments sur lesquels le Prof. Ryle fonde sa thèse d'un éventuel procès de Platon vers 370. Cette thèse bouleverse complètement le cadre chronologique habituel aussi bien que certaines données historiques de l'interprétation de l'œuvre de Platon depuis un demi-siècle. L'A. montre que le double aspect religieux et politique des passages anciens relatifs au procès de Socrate n'autorise pas à conclure d'une part, que les passages à caractère religieux se réfèrent à un procès historique de Socrate tandis que les passages à caractère politique se réfèrent à un procès historique de Platon. Ce double aspect des textes s'explique naturellement dans le cadre général de la littérature socratique et en particulier du pamphlet de Polycrate. La conclusion de l'A. est que la thèse du Prof. Ryle repose dans l'ensemble sur une démarche plus déductive que proprement historique et positive.Lafrance Yvon. Le Platon de Gilbert Ryle.

The Modern Major Remodelling of the Gilbert and Sullivan Operas
No full textFollowing the success of The Gondoliers (1889), Gilbert wrote to Sullivan: ‘It gives one the chance of shining right through the twentieth century.’ However, while this prophecy was largely fulfilled, clouds of cultural disapproval have darkened over the Savoy operas since the start of the present century, especially with regard to the mockery of women's education at the heart of Princess Ida (1884) and, most pointedly, the demeaning and ostensibly racist depiction of the Japanese in The Mikado (1885). On the other hand, the largely overlooked Utopia, Limited (1893) has experienced a boom in productions over the last decade, seemingly due to its subject matter, which, as one recent critic put it, make it ‘an anti-colonialist, anti-capitalist comic opera’. He also argues that, while some of the traditional performance practices associated with The Mikado ought to be re-evaluated, recent objections to the spirit of the opera as a whole are not entirely justified, and that a re-evaluation of the validity of some (but not all) of the performance practices traditionally associated with The Mikado is both just and timely. Alan Fischler is a Professor of English at Le Moyne College, Syracuse. He is the author of Modified Rapture: Comedy in W. S. Gilbert's Savoy Operas (University of Virginia Press, 1991) and ‘Drama’ in the Blackwell Companion to Victorian Literature and Culture (2014), among many other articles on Gilbert and nineteenth-century theatre.</jats:p
Indian Villages
No full textThis book presents a unique testimony on the evolution of the Indian peasant's world over more than sixty years. Its originality lies in part in the unique trajectory of its author, Gilbert Étienne, an exceptional man, all at once scientific traveller, thinker of the North/South relationships and economist concerned by sociology and history inputs. In unfolding the story of his passionate relationship with India, the author offers a very personal look which takes into account not only crop diversification and production techniques, but also local anthropological structures and the conditions of the various castes, including the lowest ones. With its approximately 100 pages, the book is sometimes reminiscent of a collection of vignettes and impressions gathered while travelling, such as can be found in field notes. Here lies the strength of this unusual work, especially as the "things-seen" dimension is completed by penetrating reflections on the transformations of an agrarian society discovering modern consumer goods, on a comparison between France in 1946 and India today, and on the causes and consequences of contempt for agriculture in a country whose elites swear by cities, as Christophe Jaffrelot said. This book is the latest publication of Professor Gilbert Etienne, written before his death in May 2014.This book presents a unique testimony on the evolution of the Indian peasant world over more than sixty years.

This book is the latest publication of Professor Gilbert Etienne, written before his death in May 2014. Ce livre présente un témoignage unique de l’évolution du monde paysan en Inde depuis plus de soixante ans. Son originalité tient en partie à la trajectoire unique de son auteur, Gilbert Étienne, homme d’exception, voyageur scientifique, penseur des relations Nord/Sud et économiste soucieux de la sociologie et de l’histoire. A travers l’histoire de sa relation passionnée avec l’Inde, l’auteur livre ici un regard personnel en faisant une place non seulement à la diversification des cultures et aux techniques de production, mais aussi aux structures anthropologiques locales et à la condition des différentes castes, y compris les plus basses. La centaine de pages de cet ouvrage rappelle par certains moments une collection de vignettes et d’impressions collectées au gré des voyages, comme en délivrent parfois les notes de terrain. C’est la force de ce livre atypique, d’autant qu’à la dimension « choses vues » s’ajoutent des réflexions pénétrantes sur les transformations d’une société agraire découvrant les biens de consommation modernes, sur la comparaison entre la France de 1946 et l’Inde d’aujourd’hui, sur les causes et conséquences du mépris de l’agriculture dans un pays dont les élites ne jurent plus que par les villes, comme le souligne Christophe Jaffrelot. Ce livre constitue la dernière publication du professeur Gilbert Etienne, rédigée avant son décès en mai 2014
