Dès la fin du XIXe siècle, des communautés végétariennes et des groupes de pression ont lutté contre l'exploitation des animaux, mais c'est en Grande-Bretagne, au milieu du XXe siècle, qu'une autre forme de militantisme...

El compromiso del intelectual, en el sentido del engagement sartriano, fue durante buena parte del siglo XX un lugar común, al menos hasta 1968.

Y, sin embargo, este nunca desapareció del horizonte de los intelectuales.
Esta ambiciosa obra, coral y pluridisciplinar,...
