La conception de la philosophie dans les dialogues de jeunesse d'Augustin

Notre mémoire a pour but de mettre en lumière la conception de la philosophie développée dans les écrits de jeunesse d’Augustin (plus précisément, les écrits d’Augustin qui remontent à son séjour à Cassiciacum, entre 386 et 387). Il limitera son analyse aux œuvres d’Augustin que nous retrouvons dans les deux volumes du tome IV de la Bibliothèque augustinienne : le De beata uita et le De ordine. Ce travail reprendra la question posée par Jean-Luc Marion dans son œuvre Au lieu de soi : L’approche de Saint Augustin en examinant si Augustin fait ou non partie de la tradition métaphysique. Cette question sera en effet au centre de notre mémoire en orientant le développement des chapitres de notre étude sur la conception de la philosophie chez le jeune Augustin. L’objectif de notre mémoire sera donc de mieux saisir la conception augustinienne de la philosophie que nous retrouvons dans le De beata uita et le De ordine afin de vérifier si cette conception est cohérente avec la thèse marionienne selon laquelle Augustin ne fait pas partie de la tradition métaphysique.

CODAPACK3D. A new version of Compositional Data Package

The statistical analysis of compositional data should be treated using logratios of parts, which are difficult to use correctly in standard statistical packages. For this reason a freeware package, named CoDaPack was created. This software implements most of the basic statistical methods suitable for compositional data. In this paper we describe the new version of the package that now is called CoDaPack3D. It is developed in Visual Basic for applications (associated with Excel©), Visual Basic and Open GL, and it is oriented towards users with a minimum knowledge of computers with the aim at being simple and easy to use. This new version includes new graphical output in 2D and 3D. These outputs could be zoomed and, in 3D, rotated. Also a customization menu is included and outputs could be saved in jpeg format. Also this new version includes an interactive help and all dialog windows have been improved in order to facilitate its use. To use CoDaPack one has to access Excel© and introduce the data in a standard spreadsheet. These should be organized as a matrix where Excel© rows correspond to the observations and columns to the parts. The user executes macros that return numerical or graphical results. There are two kinds of numerical results: new variables and descriptive statistics, and both appear on the same sheet. Graphical output appears in independent windows. In the present version there are 8 menus, with a total of 38 submenus which, after some dialogue, directly call the corresponding macro. The dialogues ask the user to input variables and further parameters needed, as well as where to put these results. The web site http://ima.udg.es/CoDaPack contains this freeware package and only Microsoft Excel© under Microsoft Windows© is required to run the software.
