This book discusses how Edmund Burke (1729-1797), in "A Philosophical Enquiry into the Origins of our Ideas of the Sublime and Beautiful", introduces a new sense of the sublime in opposition to clarity and pleasure principles advocated by classic poetics and rhetoric. Burke describes a sublime experience tinged with uncertainties, ambiguities and contradictions, where objects of visual se…
We try to show how Merleau-Pontys first doctoral thesis, The Structure of Behavior, allows for a comeback of the classical problem of the union of body and soul, once it criticizes the mechanicist empirism founding the scientific attempts (fromneurophysiology and psychology) to explain the organic life and behavior, while unearthing in those fenomena a milieu that differs from the transce…

Our research aims to investigate the role of the fine arts in the economy of the third Critique of Kantian philosophy. The subject of multiple disputes throughout the 18th century, the fine arts appear in the Critique of the Faculty of Judgment after the presentation of the natural beauty and the sublime. However, the function of artistic beauty in the economy of the work appears to be cl…
This research project focuses on the relationship between the literary work of Jun'ichiro Tanizaki (1886-1965) and what we call the "Japanese aesthetic program" (c. 1926-c. 1960). We believe that the bases of this relationship are placed in three layers, from which we define the three stages that make up the text and the project's path: 1) a socio-historical layer, characterized by the th…
This doctoral project aims to investigate the conceptual construction of symbol and symbolism in the work of Aby Warburg (1866-1929), based on his reading of the essay Über das optische Formgefühl [1873], by Robert Vischer (1847-1933). It was in this essay that Vischer developed his theory of Einfühlung (empathy, or the projection of one's own bodily sensation into the perceptual process)…

This project, which stems from the findings of our PhD researches in France, aims to shed light on the theoretical origins of the thought of the French philosopher Georges Canguilhem (1904-1995). Traditionally, Canguilhem is considered to be a disciple of Gaston Bachelard, due to the fact that the latter was his predecessor at the chair of Philosophy and History of Science at the Sorbonne…
Defined in German Romanticism as an "infinite desire for the infinite", Sehnsucht condenses the way by which the romantic man relates to finitude, aiming to transcend it. With the end of romantic expectations, traumatically affected by the horrors of the two world wars, and by the confrontation of human spirit with the end of metaphysics and the death of the Christian God, it becomes nece…
Goethe's stay in Italy about the years 1786-1788, the encounter with his compatriot Moritz and the exchange of opinions about the nature of beauty and of the works of art, which occurred from the direct contact with the Italian masterpieces, the critical reflections about the esthetical theories of that period, and the synthesis with themes from other environments (in particular, from bot…

This project aims to explore the possibilities of defining a common and programmatic project among Japanese philosophers who contemplated Aesthetics (understood as a philosophical discipline) between the end of the Meiji period (1868-1912), when the first works in this field of Philosophy emerged in Japan, and the mid-Showa period (1926-1989), when the two volumes of Yoshinori Ônishi's Ae…
A research internship abroad is proposed in connection with our study of the Romantic sources of Leo Spitzer. Contact with foreign researchers will be essential to enrich the formulations of this project, since it allows, on the one hand, academic exchange with the supervisor, and his research group, both committed to putting into historical perspective the legacy of 19th-century poetics …
The aim of this project is to analyze in detail the concept of irony in Kierkegaard's thought, a concept that is fundamental to understanding the role of language and hermeneutics in his work. To do this, it is essential to study these same concepts (irony, language, hermeneutics) as they were developed in German Romanticism, in particular by Friedrich Schleiermacher and Friedrich Schlege…
The guiding hypothesis of this research is to show that it is possible to reinterpret Kant's thought as a whole grounded in: (1) the examination of the physiological references present in his work and (2) the reconstitution of the modus operandi of Kantian reflection, centered in the Gemüt or the set of mental faculties. It aims to show that critical philosophy can be reread physiological…
