Back to the future: Valentin Magnan, French psychiatry, and the classification of mental diseases, 1885-1925
No full textOne of the most curious gaps in the historiography of French psychiatry is the era between the fin de siecle and the 1920's, years that overlapped the life and career of Valentin Magnan (1835-1916), a pivotal figure in the historical classification of mental diseases. Magnan was in many ways a tragic figure, someone who lived and worked at a time when circumstances conspired against him and his efforts to reform psychiatric classification. Essentially Magnan had the misfortune to practice psychiatry when Emil Kraepelin's influence began to spread beyond Germany's borders, sparking a nationalist reaction that penalized both French Kraepelinians and Magnan, whose theories shared similarities with Kraepelin's. But Magnan's stature also suffered because of the intense internecine quarrels that arose in late-19th-century French psychiatry. Magnan was no helpless victim, though, and there is reason to believe that some of the criticism directed at him was based on documented personal failings. Ultimately, Magnan's theory of psychiatric classification was overtaken by these and other events in French psychiatry, culminating in the emergence of a new national nosological paradigm that has dominated French psychiatry for most of the 20th century. Magnan was in many respects a pariah within French psychiatry by the early 20th century. An examination of his career casts light on this crucial turning-point in the history of French psychiatry and indicates why and how the new model of classification was more to the tastes of his medical colleagues.Abstracter: JSource type: Electronic(1
The Nature of Boehm-Bawerk's Capital Market
No full textThe capital market in Böhm-Bawerk's Positive Theory of Capital appears at several places. The last chapter of the book provides the complete exposition of Böhm's view of this market where present goods are exchanged for future goods. Studying this exposition leads to understand that many variables, prices as well as quantities, are determined together in this ``enormous market''. The capital market is a macroeconomic system, the nature of which we try to assess.Böhm-Bawerk, capital, market, macroeconomics

La gestation pour autrui : M. Fabre-Magnan
No full textLes débats qui ont accompagné et qui suivent encore l’adoption de la loi no 2013-404 du 17 mai 2013 ouvrant le mariage aux couples de personnes de même sexe ont été passionnants, à défaut d’avoir toujours été sereins. La gestation pour autrui est une question qui a suscité, suscite et suscitera encore de nombreuses controverses. Il faut alors souligner l’existence d’un petit – au sens de court (122 pages) – essai rédigé par Muriel Fabre-Magnan : La gestation pour autrui, Fictions et réalités,..
