Sommario/riassunto

In the late 1920's outside a sleepy remote New Mexico village, prehistory was made. Spear points, found embedded between the ribs of an extinct Ice Age bison at the site of Folsom, finally resolved decades of bitter scientific controversy over whether the first Americans had arrived in the New World in Ice Age times. Although Folsom is justly famous in the history of archaeology for resolving that dispute, for decades little was known of the site except that it was very old. This book for the first time tells the full story of Folsom. David J. Meltzer deftly combines the results of extensive new excavations and laboratory analyses from the late 1990's, with the results of a complete examination and analysis of all the original artifacts and bison remains recovered in the 1920's - now scattered in museums and small towns across the country. Using the latest in archaeological method and technique, and bringing in data from geology and paleoecology, this interdisciplinary study provides a comprehensive look at the adaptations and environments of the late Ice Age Paleoindian hunters who killed a large herd of bison at this spot, as well as a measure of Folsom's pivotal role in American archaeology.

Sommario/riassunto

Contrairement à une idée reçue, Hegel n’est pas un penseur perdu dans des abstractions logiques. La folie, la mort et l’éducation sont au centre de la pensée du philosophe allemand et forment un ensemble cohérent, concourant à caractériser l’homme comme une nature en conflit entre une particularité figée et un universel auquel il lui faudrait s’élever. Les réflexions anthropologiques essaiment dans l’ensemble de sa pensée et contribuent à forger une réflexion stimulante qui, partant de l’homme comme être du possible, s’attache à dégager les modalités de sa réalisation grâce à la technique et à la formation. En adoptant une perspective dynamique, la pensée de Hegel rencontre certains enjeux contemporains touchant à ce que l’homme pourrait être, en particulier les thèses du transhumanisme. Loin de trancher dogmatiquement en faveur ou en défaveur d’une anthropotechnique, elle nous offre certains réquisits normatifs et nous donne les éléments d’une éducation au possible reposant sur une culture de la décision. L‘auteur dessine ainsi une voie hégélienne de réponse au posthumanisme.
