Foucher de Careil publie des textes inédits de Leibniz sur Spinoza, à la fois dans un but historiographique et pour prendre position dans le débat du XIXe siècle sur le panthéisme et le spiritualisme. Il oppose de plus en plus nettement Leibniz à Descartes, considéré comme l'inspirateur de Spinoza, et critique ainsi les positions de Victor Cousin. Foucher de Careil makes available unpublished writings of Leibniz on Spinoza for historiographical purposes and to have his say in the 19th century debate (...) over pantheism and spiritualism. He contrasts Leibniz with Descartes in an ever more clear-cut fashion, seeing Descartes as having inspired Spinoza. He can thus criticise Victor Cousin's stance. (shrink)

Felix Ravaisson (1813-1900), a qui Bergson avait deja su rendre hommage dans une celebre notice publiee au terme de La pensee et le mouvant, se voit maintenant mieux reconnu comme la figure la plus marquante de la philosophie francaise du XIXe siecle et comme un authentique penseur. L'ascendance spiritualiste de Bergson est ici etablie a partir de la filiation qui le relie incontestablement a son principal maitre, sans negliger des attaches moins apparentes. Ainsi, a propos de l'habitude, une etude liminaire (...) articule une confrontation entre Ravaisson et Maine de Biran. Puis, apres un examen critique de la Notice de Bergson, l'etude presente la philosophie de Ravaisson et en degage le statut metaphysique. Les textes inedits de Ravaisson, publies en appendice, revelent l'interet du vieux maitre pour les travaux d'Henri Bergson et attestent les qualites d'une pensee trop peu connue. (shrink)
