Dominique Janicaud, who died in 2002, was a French philosopher and philosophy historian. His main field of expertise was German philosophy (Hegel and Heidegger), as well as contemporary French phenomenology.
Les bonheurs de SophieUne initiation à la philosophie en 30 mini-leçonsSophie’s joys: An initiation to philosophy in 30 mini-lessons
Before entering a philosophy class, do I know what I will be doing there, what I will be studying there? Not really. No field of study is more mysterious.That is what inspired me to write this little book: the bewilderment of 11th-grade students wishing to get an introduction to Philosophy during their summer vacation. Although there are, indeed, many manuals and textbooks on the subject, no previously published initiation has addressed this unique and singular situation.
This book tackles all the topics which 12th grade must cover according to the latest regulations – and even those which the curriculum chooses to skip: God, for example, and more to the point, “What is philosophy?” – as if this question about philosophy itself were deemed unimportant or too difficult!
The author’s objective was thus to fill in a gap by providing as pleasant a guide as possible to students having finished 11th grade as they prepare to start work necessitating more research and exactitude and begin studying the basic texts of the great philosophers.
These thirty mini-lessons – corresponding to the thirty days of a summer month – represent, because of the circumstances surrounding their composition, the author’s philosophical legacy to future young generations.
The clear, refined and restrained, yet upbeat and unpretentious, language of these simple texts ensures that this modest work’s initial goal has been surpassed, and that all those intrigued by the challenges of philosophic thought will fall under their spell.

Joachim Gasquet (1873-1921), poet and art criticIntroduction by François Solesmes (a devoted poet “enchanted,” to use his own expression, by the three noblest beings on earth: the ocean, trees and women). In the last few years, it has been Encre Marine’s great privilege to publish this gifted wordsmith’s poetic prose.
CézanneCézanne
Gasquet, who was one of Cezanne’s friends, talks about the painter and his work. In the second part of the book, he even faithfully relates comments made by Cézanne himself.
Yet another long silence followed. Then he looked at me, and I felt his eyes dazzle me as they penetrated to the very depths of my being and beyond, to the nethermost edge of the future. His smile was broad, yet resigned.
— Someone else will do what I could not ... perhaps I am only the primitive of a new art.
Then, a sort of stupefying revolt seized him.
— How frightening life is!
And like a prayer said at twilight, I heard him murmur several times:
— I want to die while painting ... die while painting. ...

Marcel Conche, Professor Emeritus at the Sorbonne and a member of the Athens Academy, has written numerous books published by Éditions Encre Marine, Albin Michel, and most notably by Presses Universitaires de France (in its «Perspectives critiques» and “Épiméthée” collections).
L’aléatoireRandomness
According to “theologised” philosophies imbued with religion and philosophy which are modern philosophies such as those of Descartes, Kant, Hegel – with the exception of that of Montaigne – the core of reality cannot be random, since God, the transcendent and omniscient being, views anything which happens or will happen as eternal, as having already happened. If, conversely, we return to the liberated philosophy of religion; i.e., to the Greek way of philosophising, we are induced not to limit the scope of randomness to the human sphere: it can be seen at the core of reality, which is to say at the core of the innumerable worlds encompassed within infinite, omnigenerational Nature itself, and which – like an improvising poet – advances into randomness.

Robert Misrahi, is an expert on Spinoza. La Jouissance d’être (2009) is one of his recent works, published by Encre Marine.
La nacre et le rocher. Une autobiographie philosophiqueThe mother-of-pearl and the rock. A philosophic autobiography
This is the autobiography of a “happiness” philosopher. Rather than a treatise or demonstration, it is the specific account of a singular life – one which has been at once its own invention, and has been recorded and intended as such. It highlights the actions involving break-ups, the creations and intense experiences which actually result from the unfolding of Desire and of freedom.
Within the specific expressions of our dramatic or fulfilled lives, a role has also been reserved for the expression of thought. The author follows the mnemonic thread of his own thought, examining the research and creative development associated with each of his books. The work which expressed and constructed the happy life is clarified here, in turn, by that very life.
A truth which is neither moral nor psychological gradually takes shape: beyond all this century’s ideologies, a philosophy of the subject and of freedom can be both the mirror of a life and the very source of that life. It is the thought of a freedom based on happiness which creates genuine freedom and joy.
