Full textThis thesis would like to be an inquiry upon the sources -as well orals than written - that have built Diderot's culture and given him the will to become an humanist of enlightenment. His studies with Jesuits, then, at the Sorbonne, his works for the Encyclopedie, his contacts in salons, his readings for Grimm's correspondence literary, his travel in Holland, his intense interest for Europe and every civilization have formed him as well as his attachment to the antiquity. His work is as the end of ancients and moderns ‘quarrel, as well as it is a reconciliation between materialism and humanism

Full textDiderot's project of a critical knowledge of pictures has developped through a contradiction between its theoretical framework and the interpretative praxis of paintings in les salons. The iconologic thought of diderot identifies the image with an iconic sign and favours figurative realism. It establishes the interdependance of notions such imitation and signification, legibility and visibility and its conceptual basis originates in a fable of the visual origin of language which produces a specific sign pattern called "hieroglyph". However these theories associate their negative counterpart because diderot's creative writing reveals a tension between legibility and visuality, knowing and seeing. Facing the image in an imaginary and fantasmatic relation, the subject of writing is caught up in a dialectic of desire and the image's signification is constantly deferred

Full textThis thesis entitled, « Diderot seen as an art critic », highlights the interactions of Diderot's writings on art and his literary works. Firstly, Diderot's artistic formation is presented, with an exhaustive repertoire of readings made by this noted « Salon » art critic and emphasizes the major role of the Encyclopaedia in the shaping of his artistic opinions and judgments. The following sequence examines in depth Diderot's nine « Salons » as well as his two « essays on painting ». At the outset, Diderot's status (position) is perceived in relationship with the artistic way of thinking (reasoning) of his time. The thesis then emphasizes the originality of the Salons, both on a thematic and theoretical level as well as on the formal level. The last section is an analysis of the influence of Diderot's pictorial judgements on his novels and plays (Romanesque and dramatic works)

Full textDiderot's work carries the thought and discourse of enligthenment ot the epistemological and aesthetic threshold of modernity. Instead of being lived and practised as mer archetypes, description, narration and meditation become in this work the very subject matter of representation. Turning bach on the work that performs itself in it, conscience becomes the scene where the quest of the true, the beautiful and the good unwinds. Diderot's fiction calls upon the philosophical and literary tradition as discourse and problematic "posture". This dialogue at the treshold of potential new forms of discourse and understanding institutes a fiction of a new tuype, in which dialogic conscience tries to define the conditions of the possibility of a new meaning. The self-enunciation of the subject of discourse assigns to representation general, and thewriting of fiction in particular, the status of an ethical, philosophical and aesthetic inauguration. The adventure of subject begins with les bijoux indiscrets where it takes the form of general critique of the traditional forms of discourse and thought. In the "essais" (lettre sur les aveugles, lettre sur les sourds et muets, entretiens sur le fils naturel, discours de la poesie dramatique, le reve de d'alembert and the paradoxe sur le comedien), Diderot elaborates thescenography of the the creator's dialogic "i". Finally in le Neveu de Rameau, this perfect poetics of fictional enunciation, the novel, from the marginal genre it was, turns into an emblematic enunciation of the "aesthetic subject"

Full textDiderot's dialogues (Le neveu de Rameau, Jacques le fataliste, mystification, ceci n'est pas un conte, madame de la Carliere, le supplement au voyage de Bougainville, l'entretien entre d'Alembert et Diderot, le role de d'Alembert, la suite de l'entretien, l'entretien d'un père avec ses enfants, l'entretien d'un philosophe avec la marechale de…) were not written to be produced as plays, and their present success makes us wonder about the nature of their dramatic qualities. An analysis of their structural elements (action, time, place), reveals a multi-layered dramatic effect, in a world in which the protagonists are the producer, the listener and the actor. The temporal and physical space permits a movement within these three dramatic functions, within a "no-time" very similar to these in contemporary twentieth century theatre. Gesture and its relationship with the speech, the sort lines and the tirades of diderot, are the proof of the stylization of his writing, go achieve a dynamic linking of the dialogue , in fact the style is not only dynamic but at the same time dramatic : the dramatic characters experience emotions and clash with each other verbally. Even laugther emphasizes the inner conflict of each individual ; in his different roles and multiple masquerades, he witnesses the playing out of his own existence. The dramatic qualities of diderot's texts form an essential element of the dialogues, because these qualities are part of his philosiphy. Dialogue is an element in his philosophical quest and not a mere literary artifice

Full textDiderot theorizes the notion of philosophical style. Thinking always comes down to imagining, and finding fault with dogmatic metaphysics can be equated with criticizing discursive reason or analytic imaginary, for which a new dialectic must be substituted, inspired by sceptic, neoplatonic and aristotelian tradition. The works of his mature years build up an atomism which abolishes the distinction between nature and matter, using the postulate of continuity upheld by the Cambridge philosophers such as Cudworth : Bayle and Voltaire reaffirm that atheistic atomism has its sources in the neoplatonic notion of order. This idea crops up in eighteenth century vitalism. Maupertuis and the supporters of the Montpellier school keep the concept of plastic nature both as unconscious thought and seminal reason. Diderot rethinks this concept so as to conceive an order without finality, and to rationalize hylozoism. Finally materialism appears as undogmatic metaphysic because the caracteristic of rational hypothese is that it can be criticized or disproved. Diderot identifies historicity with rationality : materialism accounts for the progress of experimental philosophy, of the history of moral reason, and the history of art
Sperotto, Valentina. "Le scepticisme comme méthode dans l’œuvre de Denis Diderot." Thesis, Amiens, 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015AMIE0040/document.
Full textThe aim of this research is to point out the characteristics of the reception of Skepticism in Diderot’s work, through an analysis of the Skeptic arguments and rhetorical devices that can be identified in Diderot’s writings. Our investigation reveals the presence of recurring Skeptic elements both in the early works and in the maturity, including the contributions to the Encyclopédie. Another essential topic is the use of Skepticism as a method that does not consist only in the preliminary application of skeptic’s arguments to the subject discussed by the philosopher. We also show that Diderot’s Skeptic method entails not only the use of some typical arguments, but also the adoption of peculiar stylistic choices. We claim that this Skeptic streak explains some singularities of Diderot’s philosophy and of his materialism. A deeper understanding of the central role played by the Skeptic themes in Diderot’s thinking makes a significant contribution to the studies on Skepticism in the Enlightenment, which emerges like a plurality of positions and forms of philosophical heritages. For these reasons we do not only present a comparison between Diderot and his skeptic sources, but also with others Enlightenment philosophers like Montesquieu, Voltaire, D’Alembert and David Hume

Full textUsing as a starting-point Blake T. Hanna's research on Diderot's theological training, we proceed to examine both the recurring motifs of Diderot's anti-christianity and the religious sources of this polemic. Eschatology, our field of study, informs dogmatic reflections on original sin, Providence and grace. Referentially, we draw on Augustinianism, which pervades the works of Jansenists. Since it is based on a collation of fragments or entries in l'Encyclopédie, our analysis is doubtless atypical and somewhat narrow in scope. However, it enables us to address some of the lesser-known output of our philosopher and to revisit his most famous works from a new perspective
Durand, Béatrice. "Diderot et la musique." Paris 4, 1987. http://www.theses.fr/1986PA040175.
Full textMusic is present in all the works of diderot. His writings about music are a testimony about the musical life of the 18th century. They are a document about the hows and wheres of musical life, and about musical pedagogy. These writings are also an echo of all the theoretical and esthetical discussions, which have been agitating the musical life of the century. At first, diderot was diderot an adept of rameau's theory, and also of a physico-mathematical approach to the musical phenomen. He contributed to the popularization of rameau's theory, but later he diverges from it. His most important contribution was freeing the musical esthetics from the schemas inheritated from the classical times and based on the a linguistic conception of music. Music is a language, it "speaks", it signifies. Getting rid of thes theoretical assumptions, diderot proposes an esthetics which describes music from the point of view of its sensitive perception, without imparting the model of linguistic description
Cabane, Franck. "L'écriture en marge dans l'œuvre de Diderot." Paris 7, 2004. http://www.theses.fr/2004PA070051.
Full textIt is widely known that Diderot wrote extended comments in the margin of the pages of philosophical works, notably those by Helvetius and Hemsterhuis. He also appears to have done the same with his own writings, his translation of Shaftesbury's "lnquiry" being one example. Although occasional studies of these marginal notes exist, no comprehensive overview has been overtaken until now. The present work addresses the detail and the essence of Diderot's marginal note-writing. Based on a corpus encompassing the major pan of his written work, in domains ranging from the literary and the philosophical to the Encyclopaedic, it covers the period from 1745 when the "Essai sur le mérite el la vertu" was published, to 1782 which saw the publication of the "Essai sur les règnes de Claude et Néron", until 1784 when he completed the corrections he was making to his own work. Emphasis is placed on the accessibility of Diderot's work, most particularly on development and rupture. The characteristics of the marginalia in manuscripts identified as being in the author's own hand have been analysed particularly his commentaries on the works of contemporary philosophers, the co-authored writing for the “Encyclopédie" and the "supplement", and finally his own miscellaneous variations. The aim of the study is to assess the construction of Diderot's work from its beginnings. Borrowings, transformations of the works of other: authors are recognised and studied. The relentless interplay between old and new work, his own and that of others, is highlighted. Diderot wrote in the margin of both his own work and that of others. He sought to find their limits and his own. The conclusions he drew led him towards a singular form of atheism characterised by Emmanuel Levinas as the "transparent violence of the sacred"
Tonneau, Olivier. "Diderot : la philosophie sans fondement." Paris 4, 2007. http://www.theses.fr/2007PA040049.
Full textDiderot, a materialist? We suggest he is first and foremost a moralist. Aware that “atheism is very close to a kind of superstition as puerile as the other” (to Mme de Maux, October 1769), he opposes religious fanatism but also the emergent scientism which turns sciences such history, sociology, biology and economy, into new dogmas. Book one: Diderot’s materialism is seen as the foundation of his thought because we expect him to legitimize his critique of the established order and to prevent the threat of immorality in a world without God. But many texts, especially the dialogues, show that criticism need not be founded on facts, and that the threat of immorality – largely illusory – could not be answered by a demonstration. The foundations of morals must be sought in practices and the will; their means is an educated reason; their finality is not given but constructed. Book two: “Strictly speaking, there is only one sort of causes: physical causes”. It follow that “freedom is a word empty of meaning” (to Landois, 29 June 1756). These axioms seem to destroy notions of responsibility and shared values: moral discourse refers to nothing real. But these consequences rest upon an impoverished conception of language, which Diderot always combated. The fondationaliste materialist refers language to the physical, but language ads to the physical and constitutes a form of life in which we see ourselves as free and responsible. This form of life must be protected; this demands that we renounce our craving for a factual foundation of values

Full textDenis diderot's observations sur le nakaz were issued four times, but a new edition is necessary. Comparing the editions, we found that the editors always follow diderot's son in law's indications, which rearranged the text upon a new basis. We would argue by the nature of these alterations, that they show a misunderstanding of the originel manuscript, and are impossible to ascribe to diderot. Consequently, we give for the first time a comprehensive edition of the manuscript corrected by diderot
Stenger, Gerhardt. "Nature et liberté chez Diderot après l'Encyclopédie." Montpellier 3, 1990. http://www.theses.fr/1990MON30009.
Full textAs well as making a distinction, in the salon de 1767, between phenomenal and ideal nature, diderot, in the reve d'alembert, contrasts the "ordre subsistant" with the one of the "tout". Rejecting the mechanistic model of science, he puts forward a fluid and relational model of nature. The universe seems ordered and predetermined only because man projects onto the external realm of nature the preconceptions inherent in his rationalist system. Diderot introduced into nature the idea of a complex causality, which renders its evolution undetermined. Man does not act like a puppet, he is a "tout" who is self-determining. Man does gives also up the morale universelle based on the equation virtue=beneficence=happiness. The only virtue he recognizes is justice, based on property. Diderot pleads in favour of a society which protects property and in which the individual is free to increase his wealth according to natural equity. If a nation is not free, revolution becomes inevitable. Diderot proposes that the wise man can transgress the law to do good, but in public his faultless behaviour has to serve as a model for his fellow-citizens. Free of any attachment, the exercise of justice confers supreme happiness

Full textDiderot developed the notion of subject in his correspondence even as the concept of Cartesian subject was being questioned. A new discipline - psychology - was emerging, together with original modes of personal writing. That turning point in philosophical and literary history provides four main fields for investigation. First, in private letters meant for posterity Diderot claims to be morally exemplary. That emphasis on moral exemplarity underlies his quest for reconciliation with the father figure. Then, in his correspondence, Diderot comes up with original elements of answers to the philosophical question of identity, which runs throughout his works as a whole. Delimitating his singularity and achieving permanence of the self through discontinuous states of consciousness are among the solutions he puts forward, besides, as witness his letters to Sophie Volland, Diderot does not approach the problem of self-knowledge through introspective analysis. Instead, he carries out experimental investigations into desire, faithfulness, sincerity. . . Involving the recipient of his letters in the process. Finally the question of intersubjectivity will be examined as the letter-writer is led to turn himself into a fictional character after his untiring attempts to annex the other have come to a deadlock

Full textOur thesis laies interest on the "conversation" that is so called as done in the letter of the writer. How any "conversation" can be made in a piece of letter writter by one person? to answer this question, we choose salon de 1765, a work of letter style of diderot, as the subject of study. Though salon de 1765 is written by 'i' -addresser, from start to end, the figure of 'you' - addressee is pressed on the letter. 'i', already, at the moment, come to feel appearance, response of 'you', and hear the 'voice' of his partner. This inner 'voice' of 'you', sounding in the letter, has influence on the letter-writing of 'i'. 'you', the addressee, cannot be a passive destination where the letter is to be arrived. He comes under a participation into letter-writing by reading the letter. Like this, the meaning of salon de 1765 depends, at the same time, on two 'signify' of 'i' and 'you'. Salon de 1765 is made upon the hidden dialogue between 'i' and 'you'. In this point of view, the letter-salon de 1765 is the "conversation" between the writter-addresser and the potential readers-addressee, the "con- versation" made by writing and reading

Denis Diderot, auteur d'une oeuvre vaste et pluridimensionnelle, est une personnalité très reconnue et importante aux Sciences Humaines. La Promenade Vernet, partie intégrante du Salon de 1767, reflète bien la complexité de l'oeuvre du philosophe dans son intégralité car on peut observer des traits caractéristiques à plusieurs genres de texte tel que la fiction, l'essai et la critique. Le court texte est une « promenade » dans laquelle Diderot décrit avec maîtrise une série de sept « sites » sous prétexte de mettre en cause diverses sujets de nature philosophique et esthétique. Ce que le lecteur n'a pas d'accès — et arrive à apprendre seulement à la fin — est au fait que les descriptions des éléments des paysages ne font pas référence à sept campagnes, mais à sept tableaux d'un célèbre paysagiste français, Joseph Vernet. Pendant la « Promenade », Diderot et l'abbé, son interlocuteur et personnage fictif, débattent, dramatiquement, en longues journées, les convictions quant à l'art, à la position de l'homme dans le monde et aux moeurs. Cette recherche vise mettre en évidence les dispositifs rhétoriques utilisés par l'auteur, spécialement l'ekphrasis et le hiéroglyphe, tous les deux associés, directe ou indirectement, au rapport entre le verbal et l'imagerie (ut pictura poesis). Pour le développement de la recherche, des auteurs des époques variés sont utilisés, tel que Horace (18 a.C.), qui a inventé le terme ut pictura poesis ; Lessing (1768), qui a été fondamental au développement de la rhétorique ; et Lichtenstein (1994), dont l'oeuvre trace un parcours approfondi de l'histoire de la rhétorique visuelle et sur laquelle ce mémoire se base avec un certain accent. Dans le texte de Diderot, on remarque une importance significative de références classiques, ainsi, des articles qui éclairent-ils l'oeuvre de Diderot par ce point de vue ont été choisis pour constituer la recherche. À part cet apparat théorique, il est fait appel à textes composant l'oeuvre de Diderot qui ne font pas partie du Salon de 1767, ainsi que la Lettre sur les sourds et muets à l’usage de ceux qui entendent et qui parlent, dans laquelle on trouve l'expression « hiéroglyphe » pour la première fois. En plus des textes du critique philosophe, on se sert d'une riche fortune critique et essentiellement française qui s'applique à l'étude de l'oeuvre de Diderot, y compris Bukdahl (1980), Chouillet (1987), Starobinski (1991) et Delon (1995). Dans ce travail il est aussi possible de trouver une certaine exploration de l'esthétique et de la peinture, compte tenu de la nature plurielle du texte qui a été objet d'étude. Après cette recherche, on peut avoir une compréhension plus importante des rapports établis entre le visuel et l'écrit. Finalement, et par conséquence, l'examen de cet auteur et de son texte met en lumière ce qui a été les Salons, genre littéraire créé au XVIIIème siècle, qui, malgré sa courte duration (n'a survécu que pendant un siècle), a provoqué des importants dédoublements vers l'art et la littérature modernes.
Denis Diderot, autor de uma obra vasta e multifacetada, é tido como uma personalidade muito importante para as ciências humanas. La Promenade Vernet, trecho integrante do Salão de 1767, reflete bem a complexidade da obra do filósofo como um todo, pois é nele em que se observam traços de diferentes gêneros como ficção, ensaio e crítica. Esse curto texto é um “passeio” em que Diderot descreve com maestria uma série de sete “sítios”, com o pretexto de discutir diversas questões de natureza filosófica e estética. O que o leitor não sabe — e só vem a saber no final — é que as descrições dos elementos das paisagens não fazem referência a sete campanhas, mas sim a sete quadros de um famoso paisagista francês, Joseph Vernet. No “Passeio”, Diderot e o Abade, seu interlocutor e personagem fictício, discutem, dialogicamente, em longas jornadas, sobre suas convicções quanto à arte, ao lugar do homem no mundo e a questões morais. Esta pesquisa visa colocar em foco os dispositivos retóricos utilizados pelo autor, especialmente a ekphrasis e o hieróglifo, ambos associados, direta ou indiretamente, à relação entre o verbal e o imagético (ut pictura poesis). Para o desenvolvimento da pesquisa, são utilizados autores de variadas épocas, como Horácio (18 a.C.), que cunhou o termo ut pictura poesis; Lessing (1768), que foi determinante para o desenvolvimento da retórica; e Lichtenstein (1994), cuja obra traça um percurso aprofundado da história da retórica pictórica e na qual esta dissertação se apoia com certo destaque. No texto de Diderot, nota-se significativa importância de referências clássicas, portanto, alguns artigos que esclarecem a obra de Diderot por esse olhar também foram elencados para a constituição da pesquisa. Além desse aparato teórico, recorre-se a alguns textos da obra de Diderot que não são especificamente o Salão de 1767, como a Carta para os surdos-mudos ao uso daqueles que ouvem e falam, no qual o termo “hieróglifo” aparece pela primeira vez. Junto a textos do crítico-filósofo, faz-se uso de uma fortuna crítica rica e predominantemente francesa que se aplica ao estudo da obra diderotiana, entre eles Bukdahl (1980), Chouillet (1987), Starobinski (1991) e Delon (1995). Neste trabalho também é possível encontrar algum aprofundamento sobre estética e sobre a pintura, dada a natureza plural do texto que foi objeto de estudo. Há, a partir desta pesquisa, uma maior compreensão das relações estabelecidas entre o visual e o escrito. Finalmente, e por consequência, o exame desse autor e de seu texto traz à luz um pouco do que foram os Salões, gênero literário criado no século XVIII que, embora tenha sido de curta duração (sobreviveu por cerca de um século, apenas), teve desdobramentos importantes para a arte e a literatura modernas.
Denis Diderot, the author of a vast and multidimensional work, is a renowned personality to the Human Sciences. Promenade Vernet, an integral part of the 1767 Salon, reflects the complexity of the work of the philosopher in its entirety as we can observe some traces of genres such as fiction, essay, and criticism. The short text is a "walk" in which Diderot masterfully describes a series of seven "sites" under the pretext of questioning various subjects of a philosophical and aesthetic nature. What the reader does not have access to - and only learns at the end - is that descriptions of landscape elements do not refer to seven campaigns, but to seven paintings by the famous French landscape artist, Joseph Vernet. During the "Walk", Diderot and the abbé, his interlocutor and fictitious character, discuss dramatically, in long journeys, the beliefs about art, the position of man in the world and morality. This research aims to highlight the rhetorical devices used by the author, especially ekphrasis and hieroglyph, both associated, directly or indirectly, with the relationship between verbal and imagery (ut pictura poesis). For the development of the research, authors from different periods are used, such as Horace (18 b.C.), who coined the term ut pictura poesis; Lessing (1768), which was fundamental to the development of rhetoric; and Lichtenstein (1994), whose work traces an in-depth journey into the history of rhetoric of figures and on which this memoir is based with a certain accent. In Diderot's text, we note a significant importance of classical texts in other that articles that enlighten this perspective in Diderot’s work were chosen to constitute the research. Apart from this theoretical apparatus, it is appealed to texts composing the work of Diderot which are not part of the 1767 Salon, as well as the Letter on the Deaf and Dumb, for the Use of those who hear and speak, in which we find the expression "hieroglyph" for the first time. In addition to the texts of the critic philosopher, we use a rich critical and essentially French fortune that applies to the study of the work of Diderot, including Bukdahl (1980), Chouillet (1987), Starobinski (1991) and Delon (1995). In this work is also possible to find some exploration of aesthetics and painting, given the plural nature of the text that has been object of study. After this research, one can have a further understanding of the relationships between the visual and the written. Finally, and therefore, the examination of this author and his text highlights what the Salons was, a literary genre created in the eighteenth century, which has caused significant duplication towards modern art and literature despite its one-century duration.

Full textAn art critic annexed to the field of literature as independent genre, diderot described in his nine salons the paintings displayed in the square salons of the louvre. Written over a period of twenty-three years, the letters, accounts, and dialogues that compose these works, interspersed with judgments, digressions, and anecdotes, bring to light a literary description representing a new writing style, in which the descriptive detail serves as a subtle element that creates a cunning make-believe, another mimesis. Diderot's descriptive abilities result from the use of three descriptive elements : a critical eye, the ability to comment, and the know-how, these elements bring to the plastic and the aesthetic the literary process by which the self judges the painting in question, all the while forming a description of it. The ethos of the describer focuses on the recipient, the real, fictitious, virtual, or ideal reader, - his contact - whom he must affect. Forming an opposition between the insistence of expression and content in an incessant reference to the self - the process of the formation of form -, the descriptive art of diderot represents simultaneously the source and the descriptive gamble of the etiquette of the reader and the spectator. It is the seeing which is at stake in the act of description, be it pictorial or literary. The representation relies therefore on visualization, situating itself, dividing itself, and in looking to formulate what is seen, arriving eventually at a theory about itself, that is to say, about that which cannot be described or represented by the author or the painter. Of all the procedures of which diderot makes use, the most effective, due to its lack of artifice, is the incessant reference to the self, which represents the dominating essence of his work, assuring it a place in history

Full textThis work shows first of all in what way the public's response to the Encyclopedic around the years 1760 was revived in the years 1770-1780 by the publication of materialistic texts such as d'Holbach's systeme de la nature and abbot Raynal's Histoire philosophique des deux Indes. Diderot was accused of overthrowing both the church and the crown. During the collapse of the Ancien Régime, Diderot's name was almost absent from parliamentary debates. But in 1791, just when the french revolution sees a major political turning point with the flight of Louis The 16th to Varennes, Raynal's letter to the national assembly, a sentence of Meslier attributed to Diderot who wished to see the last of kings strangeld with the last priest, and the publication of me last tome of Naigeon's Philosophic ancienne et moderne for the Encyclopedic methodique gave to Diderot his place among the prophets of the french revolution but in an indirect and difficult way to determine. Only after the termidorian reaction, philosopher's texts began to appear such as the Eleutheromanes. The Supplement au voyage de Bougainville, The Religieuse and Jacques le Fataliste. The publication of these texts combined with the monarchists'offensive after the chock of me terror put Diderot in the foreground. The counter-revolutionary leaning on Meslier and Diderot's wish to see kings and priests disappear, accused the philosopher of having been the leader of the most extremist revolutionaries such as Chaumette, Carrier and Robespierre. Diderot, responsible of the closing of convents, of the killing of the priests, of Louis the 16th's execution and of the terror, is accused at the Babeuf's trial. (Babeuf was supporting Morelly's Code de la nature which he attributed, as so many others, to Diderot. ). What a fascinating collusion between literary deceptions, the publications of texts and the political context. But Diderot's defense was now more difficult
Bohn, Marie-Anne. "Le travail du négatif chez Denis Diderot. Une étude de fictions choisies." Thesis, Sorbonne université, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018SORUL066.
Full textThe work of the negative, a concept that initiated in philosophy, allowed the researcher to tackle the core of this study, as this action appears to shake profoundly the corpus of fictional texts chosen. If the work of the negative is a movement, which is shaped within a context of polarisation where the other is always implied, if there is an ambiguous turmoil and inconstancy, how does it actualize in Diderot’s work? To this extent, the study of the context of writing is essential as censorship and networks impact the arts. Additionally, the density of the texts requires unpacking the rhetorical effect of the convoluted prose. From genres to the connection to reality, from fictionalization of thoughts to narrative mode, tracks are covered repeatedly, thicken the plot, and eventually grant the central places to speech. In light of this information, the reader’s task is intricate. Is this “negative” stir connected to Diderot’s unfolding his thoughts through multiplicity? Lastly, we will probe further the feeling of movement which emanates from the texts at hand. It is as if it converged towards preserving the strength and power of thinking, as if in the meantime at a cross section between philosophy and literature, the style of Diderot was shaping up. A dialogic form structures the writing. Irony and its features mold sentences and situations in order to place the reader in an active discomfort, it reverberates the questioning inherent to the writing, and overflows. The work of the negative, which can be found more or less profusely in Diderot’s work, puts the notion of literarity into perspective

Resumo: A dissertação trata da análise da obra "Paradoxo sobre o comediante" no contexto da estética de Diderot. Sua tese fundamental diz que um grande ator é insensível e não deve sentir as emoções que representa. O enunciado é analisado tomando-se o significado dos seus termos no sistema do Filósofo. As idéias de sensibilidade, representação, gênio, imaginação e o conceito de Belo são discutidos a partir de seus textos e de comentários clássicos sobre o tema. Na primeira parte, tratamos da articulação dos conceitos fundamentais da estética de Diderot e como isso se dá de forma problemática, suscitando alguns paradoxos. Também tratamos do lugar que o espetáculo ocupa nessa estética, do objetivo de efeito teatral orientando o desenvolvimento da arte como forma de comunicação e das particularidades próprias de sua tradução visual. Na segunda parte procuramos discutir os conceitos fundamentais para o "Paradoxo" e pensar a estética e a filosofia de Diderot a partir de seus postulados. Na última parte fazemos uma apresentação da obra que orienta nossa pesquisa, tratando das questões historiográficas e abordando seus temas a partir do próprio texto.
Abstract: The dissertação deals with the analysis of the book "Actor's Paradox" in the context of Diderot's aesthetic. Its basic thesis says that a great actor is insensitive and should not feel the emotions that represent. The statement is analyzed by taking the meaning of the terms in the system of the Philosopher. The ideas of sensitivity, representation, genius, imagination and the concept of Beautiful are discussed from his texts and classic commentaries on the subject. In the first part, we deal with the articulation of the basic concepts of the aesthetic of Diderot and how it occurs in a problematic form, exciting some paradoxes. Also we deal with the place that the spectacle occupies in that aesthetic and the objective of theatrical effect guiding the development of the art as communication form and of the proper particularitities of its visual translation. In the second part we look for to discuss the basic concepts for the "Paradox" and to think the aesthetic and the philosophy of Diderot from its postulates. In the last part we make a presentation of the book that guides our research, treating to the historiographical questions and approaching its themes from the text itself.

Full textThe efficiency of rhetorics has proved doubtful to define the structure of diderot's texts ; the starting point and object of this dissertation will therefore be the "images" used by diderot in the 1760's salons and dialogues. Part i deals with diderot's progression from actual images to the act of seeing, part 2 from the act of seeing to the practise of dialogue and part 3 from the use of dialogue to the structure itself. The first images to be examined - the overturned carriage and the child-colossus - result from networks of phantasms which often appear in the form of blurred snapshots (chap. 1) likewise the stageing of plato's cave (fragonard's coresus et callirhoe) associates the phantasms of the hermaphrodite and the double with images that are surimposed upon the canvas of diderot's dream (chap. 2). The act of seeing that turned out to be impossible in the fantasmatic schemes is ritualised in the pictoral images of the salons : lacan's distinction between the field of representation, the scopic field and the symbolic field helps us understand the ritual organised by the point of view of the critic, the painter and the spectator; but this ritual also includes an ideological dimension which prefigures the practise of dialogue (chap. 3). Therefore it becomes necessary to account for the coexistence of a poetics of images and a poetics of dialogue at the end of the period concerned. The characters in d'alembert's dream use elliptic dialogues : what cannot be expressed through a

O objetivo deste trabalho é, como o próprio título indica, apresentar a crítica ao artista empreendida por Platão e Diderot. A despeito de Platão desferir sua crítica à poesia em A República dentro de um contexto ético-político; e Diderot, por sua vez, em O Paradoxo sobre o Comediante, dentro de um registro estético, observa-se um posicionamento análogo dos dois filósofos no tocante ao tema. Dentre muitos pontos análogos observados entre eles, concentramos nosso olhar em dois deles que nos pareceu fundamentais às referidas críticas: as noções de páthose de ideal. Tanto em Platão quanto em Diderot observa-se que a figura do artista é sempre pensada em relação com essas noções. Embora, à primeira vista, sejamos tentados a concluir que, nessa relação, o ideal apresenta-se como um antípoda das paixões, percebe-se mais atentamente, que estas oscilam: ora figuram como um empecilho, ora, como uma referência positiva dentro das respectivas críticas; a chave para apaziguar esse conflito será a temperança (sophrosýne). Diante disso, nos propomos, com esse trabalho, investigar e explicitar essa relação cambiante que se encontra de forma análoga nos referidos filósofos.
The aim of this work is, as the text indicates, to present the critique of the artist undertaken by Plato and Diderot. Despite Plato launch his criticism of poetry in The Republic within an ethical-political context; and Diderot, in his turn, in The Paradox of the Comedian, within an aesthetic register, there is an analogous position of the two philosophers regarding the subject. Among many similar points observed between them, we focus our vision into two of them that seemed to us fundamental to such criticism: the notions of pathos and ideal. In both Plato and Diderot one observes that the figure of the artist is always thought of in relation with these notions. Although at first glance, we could be tempted to conclude that, in this relationship, the ideal is presented as an antipode of the passions, we can see more closely that these oscillate: sometimes they show up as a hindrance, sometimes, as a positive reference within the respective critiques; the key to appease this conflict will be temperance (sophrosýne). In view of this, we propose, with this work, to investigate and explain this unstable relationship that one finds in an analogously form in those philosophers.

Full textWithin the philosophy of enlightenment, materialism, which is linked to the development of science, appears as the most coherent philosophical position as well as the most qualified to define and solve new problems. Though the bases of their materialism are identical, diderot and helvetius are often opposed to each other about either a theoretic question such as the relation thought sensation, or a political one such as luxury. However that dialogue remains one of those, privileged moments standing out as landmarks to the onward elaboration of a true science of man. Indeed, the dispute between diderot and helvetius, focussing on the relation organization education, appears to be a nodal point where the questions of the century take form because it contributes in a decisive way to express that major problem : how can man be changed? that is the reason why a refutation of helvetius is an essential text; diderot does not repudiate his principales but, being stimulated by helvetius's reflection, he wonders about, the most adequate means to turn the most daring ideas of his time into a political programme. Nevertheless, those divergences do not call in question again the thorough unity of 18th century materialism, the internal coherence of which - achieved in the political struggle and owing to the new science and techniques - contributes to make it theoretically et politically revolutionary. That is why, from the 19th century up to nowadays, that materialism has been misrepresented, witheld from the public and distorted, but never really understood as a height in the history of thought, the real contents of which can be apprehended only by marxism as a philosophy of praxis

Full textPathos speaks the turbulent episteme of the world, as well as the turbulence of the body. A structure emerges, mathematical, that is, arbitrary and complex, a structure which contemporary science sees as problematizing the simple passage from local to global phenomena. Outside of the ordered space of classical geometry; outside of the legal determinism of newtonian physics which ignores singularity; outside, as well, of the restrictive rules of a former poetics, diderot's works demonstrate a genuine passion for complexity -- for a universe invested of relations, in which the classical metaphysics of substance is abolished. Recent works, such as diderot. Le labyrinthe de la relation by pierre saint-amand (1984) and nature et liberte chez diderot apres l'encyclopedie by gerhardt stenger (1994), applying a heuristic method inspired by the works of michel serres to the works of diderot, insist on the importance of epistemological reflexion in diderot's writings in areas as diverse as music, painting, history, politics and, of course, literature. But if epistemocriticism -- for this is also the subject of this thesis -- succeeds in revealing relational networks and models, it often does so to the detriment of the integrity of its object, by which we mean its textuality, its literality, its literarity. By keeping in the forefront of our own reflexion serres' insistance on the literarity of the text, where knowledge and subjectivity coincide, we have attempted to expose, on the one hand, the knowledge which informs particular representations, and on the other hand, to pose the question of the effect of subjectivity in writing, without reducing the importance of one or the other. Serres' model, which we have adopted, being tabular in nature, is also topological, permitting the organization of series of isomorphic figures (interferences, clouds, fever, vapors, noise). This model inspires our hypothesis: underwritten by pathos, diderot's understanding of the world, and of the subject, is materialist in nature, allowing him to conceive simultaneously of the aleatory and the predictable, of order and chaos. We explore how this understanding evolves through a discursive practice which manifests, in its own economy, the rule of pathos which informs it

Full textAcademicians and encyclopedists want to naturalize monsters, according to aristotelian way. Notion of "anomaly" appears rather than notion of "abnormal". Exemplarily, the method founded on "observation" allows academicians to occult providentialism in dispute. Diderot's contribution gives a methodological pattern to the philosopher of science. He shows the background of metaphysical resistances in order to establish accidentalism and epigenesis. The self-organization of matter and the emphasis of accidents make up a new natural history. Double monsters prove limits of dualism to think death, will and personal identity. The context is anthropological. These debates on monsters are indubitably dependent on such a pre-scientific era. Diderot's method aims less at objectifying these vitalistic properties than at establishing his own inscription in the theory of knowledge : scepticism is not a relativism. Newborn legal medicine refers the norm to natural normality, and exposes the confusion between social and natural criterions to legitimate discimination. Medicine and moral science have to take care of malformations and material inequalities, in so far as they commend specialization of institutions. Diderot shows the deadlock of this way of naturalization which is inable to integrate abnormal beings and to rationalize social welfare. However, he doesn't substitute an apology for "difference" for these scientist basis. On the contrary, he dwells on the powers of bodies, the limits to education, and the spontaneous intolerance to pain, so that he institutes a "biological normalcy". Diderot builds up strong conceptual resistances to two contemporary standards of thinking "selection" regarding prenatal diagnosis. He neither makes life sacred nor initiates liberal eugenics. Paradoxically, axiology is rather more dependent on materialistic philosophy than on finalist and spiritualistic systems. The latter are more efficient to consider ways of neutralizing affects

Full textJacques le fataliste is a puzzle created by diderot, based on his own experience as a man, as a writer and a reader. This thesis analyzes how different utterances, real or imagined, taken from his life, his time and his readings, has been integrated, organised and recalled, blended into a single meaning in order to get the new with the old. But what could one imagine as the common thread that would give unity to this work? one possibility: transmodalization. Diderot replaces as much as possible, narration by dramatic dialogue, thus transforming the novel into the realm of dialogue as creation and renewal, thus offering the tales and opening on to new paths and voices, and possibility to shed to carcass in wich which the novel was emprisonned. However, intertextual technique and dramatic dialogue are nothing more than a pretext for a vaster project: writing and reading as objects and subjects of novel. Therefore, the themes of travel, sexuality and fatalism are only metaphors for oscripturel adventure. Jacques le fatali liste is a mise en abyme of its own production and its reception, its reader and its reading. From this point of view, diderot is not only a precursor of the modern novel, he is also our contemporary
