• Sommario/riassunto: Cet ouvrage porte sur la peinture sur pierre, technique qui apparaît en Italie autour de 1530. Dans un premier temps, cette technique, mise au point par le peintre vénitien Sebastiano del Piombo, vers 1530, s’inscrit dans les débats relatifs au Parallèle des Arts, à la suprématie de la sculpture ou de la peinture. La durée apparaît comme un problème fondamental ; la peinture sur pierre constituerait une réponse puisqu’elle offrirait l’avantage de se conserver plus longtemps que les tableaux peints sur des supports traditionnels comme le bois ou la toile. Dans un deuxième temps, à partir des années 1580-1590, les artistes varient leurs productions en employant des supports comme le jaspe, l’améthyste, l’agate, ou l’albâtre. La diversité et la richesse des matériaux répondent alors à deux attentes : elle correspond au goût pour la préciosité et s’inscrit dans une connivence entre art et nature. ; Florence et Rome deviennent des centres de production importants et de nombreuses familles dont les Médicis et les Barberini jouent un rôle primordial dans cet essor. Parallèlement, les artistes, poussés par le désir de transposer sur de grandes surfaces les effets picturaux obtenus avec la peinture à l’huile, se lancent dans diverses expérimentations. C’est vraisemblablement dans un tel contexte qu’il faut inscrire l’élaboration de peintures d’autel sur pierre entre 1530 et 1620. Sebastiano del Piombo en serait également l’initiateur mais d’autres personnalités artistiques dont Pierre Paul Rubens seront amenés à élaborer des peintures de grand format sur pierre.

• Sommario/riassunto: In the study of human thinking, two main research questions can be asked: "Descriptive Q: What is human thinking like? Normative Q: What ought human thinking be like?" For decades, these two questions have dominated the field, and the relationship between them generated many a controversy. Empirical normativist approaches regard the answers to these questions as positively correlated - in essence, human thinking is what it ought to be (although what counts as the 'ought' standard is moot). In contemporary theories of reasoning and decision making, this is often associated with a Panglossian framework, an adaptationist approach which regards human thinking as a priori rational. In contrast, prescriptive normativism sees the answers to ; these two questions as negatively correlated. Normative models are still relevant to human thought, but human behaviour deviates from them quite markedly (with the invited conclusion that humans are often irrational). Prescriptive normativism often results in a Meliorist agenda, which sees rationality as amenable to education. Both empirical and prescriptive normativism can be contrasted with a descriptivist framework for psychology of human thinking. Following Hume's strict divide between the 'is' and the 'ought', descriptivism regards the descriptive and normative research questions as uncorrelated, or dissociated, with only the former question suitable for psychological study of human behaviour. This basic division carries over to the relation between normative ('ought') rationality, based on conforming to normative standards; and instrumental ('is') rationality, based on achieving one's goals. Descriptivist approaches regard the two as dissociated, whereas normativist approaches tend to see them as closely linked, with normative arguments defining and justifying instrumental rationality. This research topic brings together diverse contributions to the continuing debate. Featuring contributions from leading researchers in the field, the e-book covers a wide range of subjects, arranged by six sections: The standard picture: Normativist perspectives In defence of soft normativism Exploring normative models Descriptivist perspectives Evolutionary and ecological accounts Empirical reports With a total of some 24 articles from 55 authors, this comprehensive treatment includes theoretical analyses, meta-theoretical critiques, commentaries, and a range of empirical reports. The contents of the Research Topic should appeal to psychologists, linguists, philosophers and cognitive scientists, with research interests in a wide range of domains, from language, through reasoning, judgment and decision making, and moral judgment, to epistemology and theory of mind, philosophical logic, and meta-ethics.
