Essai sur la « métaphysique » d'aristote
Félix Ravaisson - Collection La nuit surveillée
Résumé
--
'Essai sur la Métaphysique d'Aristote' was written in 1834 on the occasion of a competition organized by the Académie des sciences morales et politiques. The set task was to create an introduction to Aristotle's enigmatic and glorious masterpiece 'Metaphysica', to explain the thoughts therein, give an account of its history and discuss its influence and theses. It was a very young man, Félix Ravaisson (1813 - 1900), who, at the age of twenty-two, won the Académie's prize in 1835 and went on to publish the first volume of this extraordinary essay later in 1837, to be completed by a second volume in 1845. The value of 'Essai sur la Métaphysique d'Aristote' is inestimable, which is why it was so urgent to reprint. Apart from the magnificent reading of Aristotle, whose elegance and clarity will certainly appeal to all those keen to discover or deepen their knowledge of those fundamental and founding thoughts, this book is a work of art in a domain where we do not - or at least no longer, expect one - that of philosophical commentary. And it would be no exaggeration to regard 'Essai sur la Métaphysique d'Aristote' as the corner-stone of the great tradition of restitution, wherein writers, in perfect complicity with the author of their choice, also produce creative works by placing their gifts at the service of the privileged expression of thinking. Wherever thinking has reached its most opulent, as here in Aristotle, to expose it by revealing its coherence should be no less so. [Maxence Caron]
