Reconnaissances philosophiques
Jean-Louis Chrétien - Collection La nuit surveillée
Résumé
--
If you commit yourself forever, do you diminish your freedom, or, on the contrary, take it to the highest degree? What does the style of a philosopher or a mystic tell us about the experience of thinking? Why does thinking require translation, whether from one language to another or from one dimension of the word to another? Should our understanding of the beauty of nature be based on the concept of art? How do artworks live, and die, from one generation to the next? Does Biblical tradition teach us something about the power of music? Is there more happiness in enduring time than in one moment of fulfilment? These questions, decidedly diverse yet not divergent, are approached here through a dialogue with Plotinus or the Fathers of the Church, or with Kant, or phenomenology in 20th century France (Merleau-Ponty, Sartre, Levinas, Michel Henry), but also less renowned writers such as Joseph Joubert and Louis Chardon. These fourteen studies (including three published for the first time) spread over thirty years and answer the author's principal questions. Together they form reconnaissances, in the sense of explorations and expressions of gratitude, for even thoughts that are unfamiliar to us, indeed adverse, indicate our own path and help us, by unintended fraternity, to follow it.
