Summary : In his Essais, Michel Eyquem de Montaigne (1533-1592), father of modern scepticism and fervent supporter of the ‘philosophy of praxis’, seems to be the first modern thinker in the footsteps of Plato to recognize the existence of Spartan philosopher-kings and philosopher-statesmen. But Montaigne goes further: he sees Sparta as a city-state of philosopher-citizens, and he distinguishes between the Spartans’ philosophical virtue and their military valour: true courage is the work of prudence – a moral and an intellectual virtue -, and of wisdom, which is recognized and proved by its ‘practice’ through living examples, experiences in everyday religious, moral, social, and civic life, rational justification and moral standing of interlinked choices on virtue and evil, happiness and sadness, joy and pain, life and death. There is a dialectical relationship between theory and praxis, words and deeds, arts and arms. The same dialectical approach is taken by Montaigne whose ‘valiant philosophy’ has a particular purpose: to teach not to fear death. In these circumstances self-knowledge (or wisdom) takes the double significance of an intellectual investigation, and at the same time a training that brings victory not over enemies in the battlefield but over time and death.

Summary : This volume permits a new approach to Montaigne's essays from the point of view of the art of writing and style. Its particular hermeneutic position, which distinguishes it from other investigations, is that Nietzsche is used as a mediator.

Summary : Les avancées techniques requièrent une excellente maîtrise des matériaux utilisés. Le défi est de mieux comprendre leur comportement mécanique et plus particulièrement les relations entre leurs micro-structures et leurs propriétés à l'échelle macroscopique. Cet ouvrage apporte les éléments pour relever ce défi. Partant des mécanismes de déformation, il remonte aux lois de comportement macroscopique en cherchant à établir des relations quantitatives, en tout cas à révéler les phénomènes physiques qui sous-tendent les comportements rhéologiques. Les auteurs ont inclus les développements les plus récents, notamment sur les matériaux hétérogènes (alliages métalliques, polymères, composites). Chacun des chapitres est consacré à une grande classe de comportement : élastique puis plastique dans ce premier volume , comportement viscoélastique, comportement viscoplastique, endommagements, dans le second volume (on y trouvera en outre des notions de mécanique de la rupture et de mécanique du contact). Les outils de base (mécanique des milieux continus, cristallographie, changements de phase) sont décrits en annexes. On trouvera également, de nombreux exercices en fin de chapitres, pour la bonne compréhension des sujets traités. Une illustration abondante facilite la lecture de l'ouvrage. Comportement mécanique des matériaux est le fruit du DEA "Mécanique et Matériaux" de la région parisienne. Il s'adresse aussi aux élèves-ingénieurs, ingénieurs et chercheurs. Les développements mathématiques y sont d'un accès facile. Les réelles difficultés, dont la maîtrise n'est pas exempte d'aspects passionnants, résident dans les fréquents changements d'échelle et dans le sens physique auquel il est fait appel.

Summary : The Essays of Michel de Montaigne are contained in three books and 107 chapters of varying length. They were originally written in Middle French and were originally published in the Kingdom of France. Montaigne's stated design in writing, publishing and revising the Essays over the period from approximately 1570 to 1592 was to record "some traits of my character and of my humours." The Essays were first published in 1580 and cover a wide range of topics.
