Paris had once been a safe haven for Jews who were trying to escape Nazi-occupied Germany, but in 1940 everything changed. The Nazis overtook the streets of Paris, and the city was no longer safe for Jews. Many Parisians were too terrified themselves to try and help their Jewish friends. Yet during that perilous time, many Jews found refuge in an unlikely place: the sprawling complex of the Grand Mosque of Paris. Behind its walls, the frightened Jews found an entire community, with gardens, apartments, a clinic, and a library. But even the mosque was under the watchful eyes of the Nazis, so it wasn’t safe for displaced Jews to remain there very long. Karen Gray Ruelle and Deborah Durland DeSaix tell the almost unknown story of this resistance and the people of the Grand Mosque and how their courage, faith, and devotion to justice saved the lives of so many.

THE CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK iii ABSTRACT Some Non-Human Languages of Thought by Nicolas Porot Advisor: Eric Mandelbaum This dissertation asks: What might we learn if we take seriously the possibility that some non-human animals possess languages of thought (LoTs)? It looks at the ways in which this strategy can help us better understand the cognition and behavior of several non-human species. In doing so, it offers support, from disparate pieces of the phylogenetic tree, for an abductive argument for the presence of LoTs. Chapter One introduces this project.

    150 Book Reviews le montre l’étude des dynasties lilloises du négoce étudiées par Jean-Pierre Hirsch (Les Deux Rêves du commerce [Paris : Éditions de l’École des hautes études en sciences sociales, 1992]), le partage égalitaire peut être contourné grâce aux différentes modalités du contrat de mariage à la dispositions des familles, lesquelles utilisent celles qui les arrangent de manière à conserver l’entreprise dans le lignage, quoi qu’il puisse arriver au couple et quel que soit le nombre des enfants nés du mariage. Plus près de nous, les lois et décrets facilitant les donations en France ont profondément bouleversé les transferts de ressource entre les générations, parfois au point que les dons entre vifs ont atteint en vo- lume monétaire celui de l’héritage. Plus encore, si l’on ajoute la défiscalisation des dons entre vifs à la hausse de la masse successorale qui peut être transmise sans être soumise à impôt, on a, dans la France contemporaine, une abolition de fait de l’imposition successorale pour une grande partie de la population, à l’exception des fractions les plus riches du dernier décile. On doit donc prêter attention aussi au fait que l’héritage prend place dans un complexe de disposi- tifs qui s’entremêlent, se chevauchent, s’appuient mutuellement les uns sur les autres, dans les pratiques effectives sinon dans les rhétoriques de légitimation. Finalement, ce travail me semble ouvrir la voie à une approche nouvelle et suggestive en matière d’étude des dispositifs de transferts de ressources. Beckert a centré sa recherche sur la comparaison d’un même dispositif mis en place dans trois pays, mais il est loisible de modifier, puis de complexifier le travail comparatif de la manière suivante.

  • Rapport Au President De La Republique

    Rapport Au President De La Republique

    COMMISSION DE REFLEXION SUR L’APPLICATION DU PRINCIPE DE LAÏCITE DANS LA REPUBLIQUE RAPPORT AU PRESIDENT DE LA REPUBLIQUE Remis le 11 décembre 2003 1 LETTRE DE MISSION 3 juillet 2003 Monsieur le Président, Je vous remercie d’avoir accepté de présider à la Commission indépendante que j’ai décidé de mettre en place pour mener la réflexion sur l’application du principe de laïcité dans la République. La France est une République laïque. Cette règle solennellement affirmée par notre Constitution est le fruit d’une longue tradition historique. Elle s’est imposée comme une garantie de neutralité des pouvoirs publics et de respect des croyances. Elle s’est profondément enracinée dans nos institutions avec la loi du 9 décembre 1905, qui a séparé les Eglises de l’Etat. Cette grande loi républicaine a su s’adapter aux évolutions de la société française depuis un siècle en respectant les particularités de chaque religion. Elle recueille l’adhésion de toutes les confessions religieuses et de tous les courants de pensée, qui y voient la meilleure défense de la liberté de croire ou de ne pas croire. Cependant, l’application du principe de laïcité fait aujourd’hui l’objet d’interrogations. Sa mise en œuvre dans le monde du travail, dans les services publics, et notamment à l’école, se heurte à des difficultés nouvelles. La République est composée de citoyens ; elle ne peut être segmentée en communautés. Devant le risque d’une dérive vers le communautarisme, plusieurs initiatives ont été prises, comme la création d’une mission d’information parlementaire sur les signes religieux ou le dépôt de propositions de lois relatives à la laïcité.

E.J. DIONNE, JR.: It’s great to bring together the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life with the Brookings Center on the United States and Europe. I have been accused of believing in epic acknowledgements, and I just do want to thank so many people from these two organizations who made this event possible: Luis Lugo, Tim Shaw, Sandy Stencel, and the whole staff of the Forum; Jeremy Shapiro at the Center on the United States and Europe here at Brookings, Kayla Drogosz and Katherine Moore, who worked with me. Thank you all for making this discussion on a very important topic possible. I’m going to reserve the right as a moderator to ask one question that you could see as pointed or obnoxious, but I’ll do that later in the event. What I want to do now is bring on our distinguished guests. I also want to welcome this very distinguished crowd. We were going through the list of people in this room, and this room is full of very knowledgeable people, thoughtful people, and we’re going to bring this discussion around to you very quickly.
