[Entretien] Robert-Vincent Joule R.-V. Joule : Professeur de psychologie sociale à l’Université de Provence (Aix-en-Provence, France). Sylvain Delouvée : Merci d’avoir accepté cet entretien. Robert-Vincent Joule : C’est une question difficile… vous placez la barre très haut en ce début d’entretien… mais je ne me défilerai pas. Sylvain Delouvée : Pour celles et ceux qui ne connaissent pas vos travaux, comment, en quelques mots, présenteriez-vous vos thématiques de recherches ? Robert-Vincent Joule : Deux domaines, au cœur de la vie sociale, me passionnent et m’ont toujours passionné : celui du changement d’attitude et celui du changement comportemental. Sylvain Delouvée : Lors d’un entretien accordé à la Radio Nationale Dolmate (1) vous répondiez avec Jean-Léon Beauvois aux critiques qui sont souvent adressées à vos travaux sur les « armes » que vous fournissez aux manipulateurs. Robert-Vincent Joule : Je ne le pense pas. Il y a là de quoi alimenter la réflexion. Robert-Vincent Joule : Merci à vous. 1.

Fundamentals of Music Theory This course, from the University of Edinburgh's Reid School of Music (recently ranked first in the UK), is suitable for those who have never studied music academically. It will introduce you to the theory of Western music, providing you with the skills needed to read and write Western music notation, as well as to understand, analyse, and listen informedly. It will provide the basis for the further study of music both from a theoretical and practical point of view: musicology, pastiche and free composition, analysis, performance, and aural skills. It will also be useful to experienced musicians without music notation skills who wish to extend their practice through a grounding in the tools of Western music theory and notation.

La théorie de la dissonance cognitive une théorie âgée d’un demi-siècle Selon la théorie de la dissonance cognitive, lorsque les circonstances amènent une personne à agir en désaccord avec ses croyances, cette personne éprouvera un état de tension inconfortable appelé dissonance, qui, par la suite, tendra à être réduit, par exemple par une modifi cation de ses croyances dans le sens de l’acte. Notre article se propose de présenter cette théorie dans ses grandes lignes. Dans les expériences sur la dissonance, on amène par exemple le sujet à donner des arguments en faveur de la peine de mort alors qu’il est contre (il réalise donc un acte dit « problématique »). La réalisation de cet acte l’amène à ressentir un état d’inconfort. Aussi étonnant que cela puisse paraître, lorsque nous sommes amenés à agir contrairement à nos convictions, nous avons ainsi tendance à justifier nos actions et à adapter nos opinions à nos comportements. Genèse de la théorie Léon Festinger. Un séisme en Inde. 1. Au coeur de la théorie L’engagement.

Ideas of the Twentieth Century The last century ushered in significant progress. Philosophers, scientists, artists, and poets overthrew our understanding of the physical world, of human behavior, of thought and its limits, and of art, creativity, and beauty. Scientific progress improved the way we lived across the world. Yet the last century also brought increased levels of war, tyranny, and genocide. Man pushed boundaries of good and evil, right and wrong, justice and injustice – and people lost faith in values. Join this thought-provoking, broad-sweeping course as it draws intriguing connections between philosophy, art, literature, and history, illuminating our world and our place in it.

Pr. Nicolas Michinov, Enseignant-chercheur Introduction to Philosophy This course will introduce you to some of the main areas of research in contemporary philosophy. Each module a different philosopher will talk you through some of the most important questions and issues in their area of expertise. We’ll begin by trying to understand what philosophy is – what are its characteristic aims and methods, and how does it differ from other subjects? Then we’ll spend the rest of the course gaining an introductory overview of several different areas of philosophy.
Logic: Language and Information 1 About the Course Information is everywhere: in our words and our world, our thoughts and our theories, our devices and our databases. Logic is the study of that information: the features it has, how it’s represented, and how we can manipulate it. Learning logic helps you formulate and answer many different questions about information: Does this hypothesis clash with the evidence we have or is it consistent with the evidence? If you take this subject, you will learn how to use the core tools in logic: the idea of a formal language, which gives us a way to talk about logical structure; and we'll introduce and explain the central logical concepts such as consistency and validity; models; and proofs.
