The reception of the notions of trace, arkhé, and document in the work of Alain Nadaud This paper intends to point out the philosophical features in the novels of the French writer Alain Nadaud and their links with the philosophical theory concerning the concepts of trace, arkhé and document elaborated by Jacques Derrida in the second half of the XX century. This subject, related to the contemporary socio-historical concept of post-truth, reveals the originality and the up-to-date tendency in the novels of Alain Nadaud. This paper uncovers new important aspects of his work by proposing a solid philosophical interpretation of its main theoretical principles. In particular, it uncovers the philosophical reasons at the origin of his writing, which is based on the historical research method.

This article draws on material associated with a solo sailing circumnavigation, undertaken by 16 year old Jessica Watson in 2009–2010, to discuss how her voyage provided a focal point for debates relating to voluntary risk-taking conducted within the sport and leisure context. Specifically, we illustrate how public and media commentaries on her voyage reflect discourses of risk being infused and conflated with discourses of responsibility, youth and gender. Our analysis brings to the fore the contested, moral and political nature of risk discourses in contemporary western society. Public reaction to Watson’s voyage indicates that descriptions of western society as risk-averse fail to capture the situated and dynamic perceptions of risk.

<p><em>This article wants to know the history and development of the Mathba'ah Islamiah publisher from its early days until it disappeared from the circulation of its publishing and printing world. In the 20th century, there were many publishers and printers in Bukittinggi. This arose in response to requests for reading material from educated people connected with schools' growing bloom in several places in West Sumatra. Publishing and printing work was carried out by colonial circles and Western intellectuals and involved natives from within the Muslim faith. The research method used is the historical research method. From the research results, it was found that the publishing of Mathba'ah Islamiah was a publication founded by H.M.S Sulaiman on the advice of the elderly scholars, Syekh Sulaiman Arrasuli, Syekh Muhammad Jamil Jaho and Syekh Abbas Qadhi Lading Laweh. This publication published the works of Minangkabau clerics and books used in the Madrasas of the Old People at that time. Not only publishing books, but the Mathba'ah Islamiah publisher also printed the Koran and its translations sent to various regions in Sumatra and even reached several parts of the archipelago.</em><strong><em></em></strong></p><p>Artikel ini hendak mengetahui sejarah dan perkembangan penerbit Mathba’ah Islamiah sejak masa awal hingga hilang dari peredaran dunia penerbitan dan percetakan Tanah Air. Pada abad ke-20 terdapat banyak penerbit dan percetakan di Bukittinggi.

Contingent Existence

This chapter begins with some preliminary methodological remarks—about the aim and value of reduction in philosophical analysis, about thinking of the evaluation of philosophical theses in terms of costs and benefits, and about the contrast between realistic and anti-realistic accounts of a philosophical theory. It then discusses what possible worlds are and what the problem is about merely possible individuals. It argues that possible worlds are properties and not representations. It then takes an extended look at some examples of properties that are simpler and easier to think about than possible worlds but that share some of the features of possible worlds, construed as properties. It uses the analogy developed to motivate a metaphysically innocent account of the domains of other possible worlds. It defends a view that is committed to making sense of the contingent existence of individuals and properties, of propositions, and even of possible worlds themselves. The chapter concludes by sketching a problem that an account of this kind faces, a problem that will be addressed in Chapter 2.

Cliometrics has evolved into a literary genre having little to do with numbers in the sense of econometric testing, though a lot to do with the deductive stance of the new institutional economics and of rational choice theory. At times these two approaches, which are not completely compatible, coexist even in the same author's work, giving rise to a sort of analytic schizophrenia. This chapter analyzes the recent developments in economic history. From the standpoint of methodology, it shows the confusion between history and path dependence or presence of “multiple equilibria” in a predetermined deductive schema. It argues that underlying these trends is an ideological slant, whether conscious or unconscious, aimed at exalting values such as individualism and materialism, which are typical of certain segments of contemporary Western society, and at projecting them unduly onto the past.
