This course is intended as an introduction to political philosophy as seen through an examination of some of the major texts and thinkers of the Western political tradition. Three broad themes that are central to understanding political life are focused upon: the polis experience (Plato, Aristotle), the sovereign state (Machiavelli, Hobbes), constitutional government (Locke), and democracy (Rousseau, Tocqueville). The way in which different political philosophies have given expression to various forms of political institutions and our ways of life are examined throughout the course.

本片用影像和配乐组成对荷兰画家及装饰艺术设计大师埃舍尔作品的直观印象，是一次奇异的视觉体验。影片获1972年奥斯卡最佳短纪录片提名。 　　The work of the graphic artist Maurits Escher (1898 - 1972) is a play on perspectives: it creates an illusion of the impossible. Boundaries expand to infinity and floors become ceilings and vice versa. He repeats forms in an ever-changing perspective, and creates a circle of metamorphosis. Escher's world derives its structure from a lucid intelligence, from a tremendous imagination and from prodigious craftsmanship. It is a revelation, of vital importance to the study of graphic design. ADVENTURES IN PERCEPTION (1971) is Han Van Gelder's only film. 　　埃舍尔出生于1898年的荷兰北部。早于1916年，他已经熟识油耗浮雕印刷术。1917年，他在画家史蒂格文的印刷公司制作蚀刻版画。1919年，在贺林的建筑装饰艺术学院修读建筑学。当时得到美术老师梅斯昆泰的熏陶，对装饰设计艺术产生浓厚兴趣，尤其是木刻版画。自那时开始，埃舍尔的生活便于他的作品连在一起，在致给父母亲的书信中，他时常将工作过程一一道说出来。 　　埃舍尔多次表达数学上有趣的茂比乌斯带。当一条丝带被扭曲后，将两端连在一起，则丝带的正面和反面是相间地连接起来的。但这种曲面带的现象若由平面图画表达出来则毫不容易，1963年的《红蚁》便是这种题材的作品，也是一件稀有的埃舍尔套色版画。埃舍尔在他的著作中，指出特别偏好两色的外型结构，因为图形的本质需要，他才加上颜色。 　　1961年的《瀑布》是埃舍尔最后期的奇异建筑式图画，他依据彭罗斯的三角原理，将整齐的立方物体堆砌在建筑物上。这种不合情理的结构亦见于1958年的《嘹望塔》，作品中的建筑物和人物手持的立方体都是怪异的。埃舍尔的作品骤看起来没有什么奇怪的地方，但其实当中蕴藏的幻觉事物是最引人入胜的。参观者每每把他们认识的真实世界，与埃舍尔的虚构幻像相混比较，而产生迷惑。例如作品《瀑布》的流水穿流不息，完全违反地心吸力，所表达的图像是毫不合理的

Entretien entre Georges Canguilhem, Michel Foucault, Jean Hyppolite, Paul Ricœur, avec Alain Badiou et Dina Dreyfus. 　　C’est à l’occasion de l’émission Philosophie et vérité, colloque réunissant cinq philosophes autour de Dina Dreyfus, que les propositions de mise en image ont été les plus abouties. D’une durée plus importante que les autres, presque une heure, et avec un budget plus conséquent, cette émission a permis à Jean Fléchet de mêler échanges en studio et tournage en extérieur. 　　C’est la volonté de proposer une image et des échanges plus spontanés, loin d’une simple table ronde, qui a été développée. Et même si la technique n’a pu totalement se faire oublier, l’exercice a permis la mise en forme d’un débat philosophique plus vivant, plus ancré dans l’instant présent. Georges Canguilhem et Jean Hyppolite, initiant les discussions à l’arrière d’un taxi pour se rendre au rendez-vous, Michel Foucault quittant la discussion pour aller à une conférence…
