In search of a philosophy of the world by writing of the Desire in the Anatole France's works ; L'oeuvre d'Anatole France : à la recherche d'une philosophie du monde par l'écriture du Désir

Date de rédaction de 1995 à 2000 ; We analyse the Anatole France's production from the original angle of a key concept, the Desire.

Then, France's thought gives us a philosophy where scepticism descends from Desire - not the opposite - and where we can feel the essential being of things - what we call the logos. Anatole France fights for honour of human existence in an incomprehensible universe. ; Nous menons une analyse des forces qui structurent l'œuvre littéraire d'Anatole France sous le jour original d'un concept-clé, le Désir. Celui-ci, central, renégocie catégoriquement le sens et l'architecture des textes franciens : cette instance encore peu étudiée organise toute la pensée de l'auteur, rendant une nouvelle cohérence à son œuvre. Le Désir détermine par l'écriture une morale, une herméneutique et une interprétation du monde particulières, qui engendrent une philosophie pressentant l'inconscient freudien et la ...
