    Plato's Symposium: A Critical Guide.Pierre Destrée & Zina Giannopoulou (eds.) - 2017 - New York, NY: Cambridge University Press.
    Plato's Symposium is an exceptionally multi-layered dialogue. At once a historical document, a philosophical drama that enacts abstract ideas in an often light-hearted way, and a literary masterpiece, it has exerted an influence that goes well beyond the confines of philosophy. The essays in this volume, by leading scholars, offer detailed analyses of all parts of the work, focusing on the central and much-debated theme of erōs or 'human desire' - which can refer both to physical desire or desire for (...)

    Aristote, bonheur et vertus.Pierre Destrée & Richard Bodéüs (eds.) - 2003 - Paris: Presses universitaires de France.
    " Tous les hommes désirent être heureux " et " nul ne saurait être heureux sans être vertueux " ; tels sont les principes de départ de l'éthique aristotélicienne. Mais comment les articuler? Et qu'entend exactement Aristote par " bonheur "? Les vertus sont des modes de comportement, comme le courage, la justice et l'amitié, et des activités de la raison, telles la prudence et la contemplation. Mais quel est précisément leur statut par rapport au bonheur? Ces questions correspondent aux (...)

    Le Beau et le Bien: Perspectives historiques de Paton à la philosophie américaine contemporaine.Pierre Destrée & Carole Talon-Hugon (eds.) - 2012 - Nice: Les éditions Ovadia.
    La beauté est-elle radicalement indépendante du bien? Un homme peut-il être à la fois beau et veule, un roman ou un film beau et malsain? Oui, a massivement répondu la modernité en instituant une scission tranchée entre l'éthique et l'esthétique. Aujourd'hui cette affirmation ne va plus de soi : nombre de traités récents reconsidèrent les formes infiniment variées des relations qu'elles entretiennent et Umberto Eco affirme que “ce n'est pas le Moyen-âge qui était dépourvu d'une esthétique : c'est le monde (...)
