The Conference on the social and economic future of Quebec, which was held in March 1996, provided an opportunity to debate the current socioeconomic issues specific to Quebec. Although it is important to distinguish between the political and economic spheres, there is some overlap between the two. However, at the Summit, they seemed to be on parallel tracks, and ethics, the link between the two, suffered as a result. The renewal of the social pact, the ultimate goal of the meeting between the Quebec government and its "partners", was thus in continual confrontation with the constraints of neo-liberalism. What portrait of Quebec society was thus drawn in the discourse of the Summit?

Man's solitude is part of his everyday existence. It reveals itself especially in his work, his sadness and in his suffering as pointed out by the philosopher Emmanuel Levinas. Can we hope that one day science and technology will eliminate pain, suffering and even death? This is the question raised by this article. In it, we try to distinguish between pain and suffering; to consider the purpose and the effects of pain; to ask whether or not a person has the right to be treated for pain with everything that is available and to make proposals on the ethics of compassion.

AbstractThe recent changes in literary history's epistemological models have led to a renewal of practices in the field of literature. These changes, first related to the multiplication and fragmentation of narratives, also arise out of a new look at archival issues and the materiality of the media. These changes also emphasize the context of the discursive enunciation of the works and reintroduce the figure of the reader. Ultimately these changes lead to an interaction among Francophone literatures in North America and allow for the reconstruction, real or imaginary, of the social bond in each of these communities and encourage the development of a real process of recognition.

AbstractThis article is an attempt to apply the notions of “image” and “face” (visage) as defined by Emmanuel Lévinas. These concepts allow us to approach literary translation not in terms of creating a resemblance to the source text but as showing the “face” of the author re-presented through his text. This approach to the text modifies the status of the translator by integrating him into a human relationship in which he carries full responsibility. Finally, we will suggest that the translator promote ethical demands. He becomes the guarantor of a translation whose essence is the relation to the foreign, but beyond this he is also promoting this ethical relation with his reader.

If teacher ethics is definitely an important area of research, student ethics remains largely unexplored. It seems absent from the concerns of educational researchers, of teacher training, and of the daily exercise of teaching in the classroom and at school. This notion needs to be clarified, in contrast with two closely related and often mixed-up terms: morality and ethics. In reference to Paul Ricoeur, ethics will be approached as the aim of the good life of the student in the classroom and in the school. For the student's ethics to be built daily, various conditions and postures must be activated by the teacher-pedagogue and educator, and by the student as a subject and actor.

AbstractFrom a philosophical point of a view, the author presents three distinct hermeneutical trajectories: phenomenology (Husserl, Heidegger, Gadamer, Ricoeur), psychoanalysis (Freud, Lacan), theology (Bultmann, Derrida). He tries to determine how they are articulated and what are their principal points of contact. Several common areas of the hermeneutical quest then emerge: a renewed quest for understanding where there is no absolute truth; a coded writing of the text or living inscriptions; an oral writing of the philosophical or analytical dialogue; a tension between the literal and the metaphorical; understanding seen as translation and as listening; interest in the question of foundations; the relationship between narrative and the temporal configuration of truth; and the precariousness of the interpreting subject painfully experienced by the subject of theology.
