Grace and the Will According to Augustine.
:
The doctrine on grace, one of the most discussed themes in his later years, was regarded by Augustine as the very core of Christianity. This book traces the gradual crystallisation of this teaching, including its unacceptable consequences (such as double predestination, inherited guilt which deserves eternal punishment, and its transmission through libidinous procreation). How did the reader of Cicero and "the books of the Platonists" reach the ideas that appear in his polemic against Julian (and which remind one of Freud rather than the Stoics or Plotinus)? That is the point of departure of this book. It surely cannot be expected that there is a definite answer to the question; rather, the aim is to follow and understand the development.

Hellenistic painted goblets in Alexandria /
:
Les gobelets peints ont été durant de longues années considérés comme un groupe de céramique égyptienne unique et difficile à définir. Leur riche iconographie restait incomprise et leur datation placée à l'époque romaine ou romaine tardive. L'examen de la collection de tessons réunie par Lukas Benaki dans les années 1930 dans la nécropole de Hadra à Alexandrie et conservée au British Museum, au Musée gréco-romain d'Alexandrie et au Musée Benaki d'Athènes et de quelques vases complets, ainsi que des fragments mis au jour dans des fouilles récentes bien stratifiées à Alexandrie a permis de conforter la datation à l'époque hellénistique (IIe-Ier siècle av.0J. -C.), proposée par D. Bailey et de fixer leur lieu de production en Maréotide. Il a été possible d'identifier des scènes de procréation, d'accouchement et de banquet, associées à des représentations d'une nature prolifique, qui placent ces vases dans un contexte cultuel de célébration de la vie et de la renaissance. Ce volume a recu le prix "A la Mémoire de Jean Leclant" décerné par la Fondation Michela Schiff Giorgini en 2020.

Environmental philosophy : a revaluation of cosmopolitan ethics from an ecocentric standpoint /
:
Environmental Philosophy: A Revaluation of Cosmopolitan Ethics from an Ecocentric Standpoint calls for a new approach to ethics. Starting from the necessity for all life of air, water, and food, the book revalues the relation of ethics and environmentalism. Using insights of the environmental ethicists, environmental ethics becomes the model for ethics as a whole. Humans are part of a larger environment. Cosmopolitanism should be revised in accord with environmental ethics. The book applies a new theory of values to the relation of value and obligation, and of duty, rights and virtue, to accord with ecocentrism. The book also critically evaluates Utilitarianism and the self interest theory. Other chapters address population, species preservation and a practical program for environmental policy.
