Destabilizing Milton: "Paradise Lost" and the Poetics of Incertitude
Destabilizing Milton challenges the widely accepted view of Milton as a poet of absolute, unquestioning certainty. In "Paradise Lost," Milton confronts the failure of the Revolution by creating a poem that refuses to grant the reader any interpretive stability or certainty. While "Paradise Regained" and "Samson Agonistes" reflect Milton's deep ambivalences after the collapse of the Republic. Far from confirming his earlier ideals, in his later poetry, Milton subjects his culture's most cherished beliefs, such as the goodness of God, to withering scrutiny, while refusing the comfort of orthodox answers. .

German Incertitudes, 1914-1945: The Stones and the Cathedral
The history of modern Germany has all too readily been seen in terms of an historical process that inevitably led to the horrors of National Socialism. As there are no certitudes in life, however, so there are none in German history. In this book, historian Klemens von Klemperer focuses on what he terms "the German Incertitudes"--namely, the tensions between a realistic acceptance of disenchantment with the modern world, and an insistence upon reenchantment. Exploring this tension through a critical assessment of the ideas and writings of major German thinkers, von Klemperer seeks to account for both the achievements and the failings of German thought, society, and politics as responses to the challenge of modernity in the first half of the 20th century. In addition to individuals such as Nietzsche, Weber, Spengler, Junger, Bonhoeffer, and Heidegger, the author considers broader movements and ideas such as the concept of Gemeinschaft and the German expressionists, all in the wider context of Western intellectual currents, Rather than belaboring presumed German deviance from the European norms, von Klemperer explores the reasons why the sense of crisis in the face of modernity was singularly acute among Germans, he traces a spectrum of reactions extending from an acceptance of modern disenchantment to the quest for reenchantment which found an extreme manifestation in National Socialism..

Critique de la valeur fondamentale
Cet ouvrage écrit avec la collaboration de É. Challe, Ph. de la Chapelle, P. Hyme, S. Galam, Y. Tadjeddine et I. This, fait le point sur les différentes conceptions de la valeur fondamentale en finance, les procédés de son calcul et les débats en cours dans la théorie financière comme dans les pratiques professionnelles. Ces notions - celles d’efficacité informationnelle, de bulles rationnelles, de volatilité, de bruitage des cours, de croyances des agents, de rationalité en contexte incertain - sont examinées systématiquement. Leurs arrière-plans intuitifs, théoriques et mathématiques sont présentés dans un même cadre d’analyse. Le livre rend compte des alternatives offertes par la modélisation mathématique. « Il prend au sérieux ce constat : tous les aspects des faits de finance ne sont pas calculables. » L’ouvrage s’adresse aux spécialistes des finances, théoriciens ou professionnels, aux économistes et aux chercheurs en sciences sociales qui s’interrogent sur la consistance et la cohérence des phénomènes financiers. « La finance est entrée en quelque sorte dans une phase de déconstruction […]. Mais ni les anomalies boursières, ni les biais des opérateurs en bourse qui sont à l'origine de celle-ci n'ont pu à ce jour être mis concrètement à profit par les professionnels de la gestion de portefeuille […]. C'est le grand mérite de l'ouvrage dirigé par Christian Walter et Eric Brian d'entamer avec leur critique de la valeur fondamentale le nécessaire travail de reconstruction. Ils le font avec méthode, pédagogie, clarté, conviction et parfaite connaissance de la littérature. » Bertrand Jacquillat, professeur à l’Institut d’études politiques de Paris (Sciences Po). .

The Uncertain Reasoner's Companion: A Mathematical Perspective (Cambridge Tracts in Theoretical Computer Science)
Reasoning under uncertainty, that is, making judgments with only partial knowledge, is a major theme in artificial intelligence. Professor Paris provides here an introduction to the mathematical foundations of the subject. The author presents the key results on the subject, and formalizes within a unified framework the main contemporary approaches and assumptions. He concentrates on giving clear mathematical formulations, analyses, justifications, and consequences of the main theories about uncertain reasoning..
