"Un enfant si je veux, quand je veux", la revendication féministe de mai 68 est à la base du débat. Quels droits pour la mère, la femme, l'enfant encore à naître ? En 1974, les députés se penchent avec passion et conviction sur cette question éthique complexe. Le vote de la loi sur l'I.V.G. est loin d'être assuré alors que la majorité est largement opposée au projet. Détracteurs et partisans se suivent à la tribune pour convaincre, expliquer, exhorter.

Hubert Védrine et Rony Brauman nous offrent une réflexion commune, une intimité intellectuelle, une recherche de la vérité...

"Don Quichotte" est le grand roman qui met en scène le déni et établit pour la première fois la vérité comme subjective. Cette œuvre majeure, connue de tous mais rarement lue, dispose de nombreux ressorts philosophiques que Michel Onfray nous permet d'appréhender. L'anti-héros chasseur de moulins à vent vit avec sincérité dans un monde où ses actions sont à la hauteur de ses ambitions, où il peut donner un sens à son existence.

Le fondateur du Nouvel Observateur analyse depuis toujours les subtils méandres de l'identité nationale, à l'aune de l'expérience algérienne et d'une connaissance intime du monde.

L'école est le dernier rempart de la République ; l'école a abdiqué de tout rôle civique. Entre ces deux figures, le débat public oscille depuis de longues années, modernes contre classiques, "pédagogues" contre "républicains".

De 1995 à 2007, le Président de la République rythme ses mandats de discours présentant ses ambitions et ses résultats. Il donne à notre diplomatie sa ligne de conduite pour les guerres de Bosnie, de Yougoslavie, d'Afghanistan et d'Irak. Il accompagne le pays pour le passage à l'euro et l'élargissement de l'Europe ; il inaugure le musée du quai Branly.

Denis Mac Shane, ancien ministre de Tony Blair, défend le bilan de son Premier ministre et Martin Hirsch, ancien responsable de l'association Emmaüs, explique comment on lutte contre la pauvreté

La parution des Mémoires de Philippe de Gaulle chez Plon, créa, tant chez certains hommes politiques que chez des journalistes et historiens, un certain nombre de polémiques auxquelles l'Amiral désirait répondre de sa propre voix. Il accepta donc ma proposition d'un entretien avec Michel Tauriac pour y inscrire ses souvenirs majeurs et en même temps donner des réponses définitives à la vérité historique dont il a été un témoin privilégié.

Churchill was an improbable hero for what was to be called "the century of the common man", not only because he was personally so very uncommon, but because he was from an elite British family and was never closely in touch with "ordinary people" in Britain, let alone the rest of the world. Yet to pigeonhole Churchill that way is misleading. Winston Churchill was seen even in his own lifetime as a historic figure, one of the great men of world history.

During the early years of the Cold War, the anti-communist witch hunt that we now call McCarthyism swept through American society. It was the most widespread and longest-lasting episode of political repression in American history. Dozens of men and women went to prison, thousands lost their jobs, and untold numbers of others saw what happened to those people and refrained from expressing controversial or unpopular ideas.

This course explores the tenures of the men who held our nation's highest office during the 20th-century. The lectures look at each president and examine his strengths and weaknesses, as well as the times in which he served. Through this analysis, listeners will develop a better understanding not only of this supreme office and how it has taken shape, but also how it has shaped America and, indeed, the modern world.

This course examines the life of Benjamin Franklin and his influence on both American and world history. He remains the model of the American thinker - a man who was interested in nearly everything, and who pursued those interests with an admirable and contagious passion. To study Franklin's life is to learn not only the history of a single man, but to understand some of the most monumental changes in all of human history.

The world will never see another peace conference like the one which took place in Paris in 1919. For six months, the world's major leaders - including Woodrow Wilson, president of the United States, David Lloyd George, prime minister of Great Britain, and Georges Clemenceau, prime minister of France - met to discuss the peace settlements which were to end World War One.

In his 1988 CBC Massey Lecture, Noam Chomsky inquires into the nature of the media in a political system where the population cannot be disciplined by force and thus must be subjected to more subtle forms of ideological control. Specific cases are illustrated in detail, using the U.S. media primarily but also media in other societies.
