The modem plan of Pondicherry shows a large town in gridiron plan which obviously was extended to its present form through controlled urban development. Some Indian scholars consider that the town was built according to the principles of the ancient Hindu treatises of architecture, particularly the Silpa Sastra. French historians, on the other hand, feel that the plan should be considered as an achievement of «the French mind». In fact, the Dutch plans of Pondicherry dated 1693-1694, preserved at the National Archives at The Hague, show that the orthogonal street pattern of the town is a creation of the Dutch. The plans of 1693 show that, in François Martin's settlement, |

the streets or lanes were following an irregular pattern, without any shape or symmetry, whereas, in the plans drafted in 1694, during the Dutch occupation, one finds the design of a large new town, with a very regular geometric layout, rectangular blocks of houses, separated by straight streets, intersecting at right angles. This great urban project of the Dutch Company was adopted by the French who systematically carried out the extensive straightening out of streets into a planned grid, during the the first half of the 18th century. Le plan en damier de Pondichéry surprend les spécialistes d’histoire urbaine qui se demandent comment expliquer son origine. Certains chercheurs indiens pensent que la ville a été construite suivant les principes des anciens traités hindous d’architecture, en particulier les Silpa Sastra. Les historiens français, en revanche, estiment que ce plan d’urbanisme est “une réussite de l’esprit français”. La vérité est que le schéma géométrique a été conçu par la Compagnie des Pays-Bas: l’analyse des plans hollandais de 1693-1694 déposés aux Archives nationales de La Haye montre qu’en vérité le schéma géométrique a été conçu par les Hollandais. En effet, leurs plans de 1693 montrent que la ville de François Martin était construite suivant un plan anarchique avec des… |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
Cheryl Misak presents a history of the great American philosophical tradition of pragmatism, from its inception in the Metaphysical Club of the 1870s to the present day. She identifies two dominant lines of thought in the tradition: the first begins with Charles S. Peirce and Chauncey Wright and continues through to Lewis, Quine, and Sellars; the other begins with William James and continues through to Dewey and Rorty. This ambitious new account identifies the connections betweentraditional American pragmatism and twentieth-century Anglo-American philosophy, and links pragmatism to major posit |
