Accueilli par des éloges unanimes dans son édition d''origine en langue anglaise, Revolution in the Head nous replonge dans ce qui constitue le coeur de l''héritage des Beatles : leurs disques. Dans cet ouvrage aussi ambitieux que captivant, reconnu d''ores et déjà comme une référence absolue en matière d''analyse critique de la musique populaire, les chansons inoubliables des Beatles sont une présence à la fois centrale et constamment surprenante. Fort d''une connaissance intime de l''oeuvre du groupe, mais aussi de son arrière-plan culturel et historique, lan MacDonald nous aide à décrypter chacun des quelque 241 morceaux que compte la discographie des Beatles — dans l''ordre chronologique, des tout premiers enregistrements amateurs de 1957 aux deux chansons de la " reformation " de 1994-1995, sans oublier les nombreux inédits publiés dans le Live At The BBC et les trois volumes de la série Anthology.Aussi éblouissants que cette décennie qu''ils auront marquée de leur empreinte, les Beatles ont inventé, à eux seuls ou presque, la pop music telle que nous la connaissons. Leurs chansons sont, aujourd''hui encore, revendiquées comme une influence fondatrice par les groupes et chanteurs les plus en vue.

Charles S. Peirce''s critique of epistemic individualism, the attempt to make the individual the locus of knowledge, is a dominant theme in his writings. While scholars often mention this critique, there is, surprisingly, a lack of research on the topic. However, it is necessary to know what motivates Peirce''s critique of epistemic individualism to know why he aims to turn philosophy into a communal study. In this dissertation, I defend the claim that Peirce''s communal inferentialism allows us to assess the rational merits of his critique of epistemic individualism and to grasp his insights into why philosophy must change its course. The questions that have guided the research are the following. What are the central reasons that support Peirce''s verdict that epistemic individualism is a dead-end for philosophy? What roles do Peirce''s fundamental commitments concerning the notion of the community of inquirers and the patterns of correct inference play in his critique? I defend the central claim in four chapters. In Chapter One, I reinvestigate Peirce''s critique in relation to Cartesianism, while in Chapter Two I take up Peirce''s case against nominalism. I begin with these topics since Peirce claims that these two positions in the history of philosophy are prime examples of epistemic individualism. In Chapter Three and Chapter Four, I show that the problem of epistemic individualism crops up again in Peirce''s two most influential papers, "The Fixation of Belief" and "How to Make Our Ideas Clear." I provide a communal inferentialist reading of both papers. In this dissertation, I further show why, according to Peirce, our key epistemic notions, including knowledge and truth, cannot be individualistic but must be communal notions.
