Abstract:
La thèse examine un cas d'"adaptation culturelle", au XIXe siècle. Il s'agit du rabbin italien d'origine marocaine Elie Benamozegh (1823-1900), cabaliste de formation et philosophe par vocation, qui se trouva confronté à l'idéologie triomphante du progrès et à l'idéalisme hégélien, deux mouvements d'idées à tendance sécularisant. Les notions d'histoire, de progrès, de dialectique sont analysées par Benamozegh avec des instruments conceptuels tirés en bonne partie de la cabbale ; mais sa pensée présente dans le fond bien des aspects communs avec des catholiques "modérés" de l'époque, comme l'italien Gioberti et les français Lamennais et Ballanche. La double inspiration de Benamozegh est visible aussi dans le domaine de la linguistique : il s'inspire a la fois de la cabbale et de la "philologie philosophique" de Giambattista Vico
The thesis deals with a case of "cultural adaptation", in the 19th century. It is about the Italian rabbi of Moroccan origin Elijah Eenamozegh (1823-1900), a cabbalist by education and a philosopher by calling. He had to cope with the ideology of progress and Hegelian idealism, two secularisation inclined trends. The notions of history, progress, dialectics, are analysed by him with conceptual instruments drawn mainly from kabala; but basically, his thinking has a lot in common with the "moderate" catholic thinkers of the time, such as the Italian Gioberti and the Frenchmen Lamennais and Ballanche. Benamozegh's linguistics too, has a double inspiration: kabala and the "philosophical philology" of Giambattista Vico (17th-18th cent. )

Abstract:
Nous explorons d'abord les principales expressions de la dualité sexuée dans la littérature théosophique de la Cabale : nous constatons la présence de cette dualité à tous les niveaux : au sein du monde divin, du monde des âmes, du monde démonique, et de l'homme corporel. La structure duelle est la composante clé du système de pensée des cabalistes. Les questions relatives à cette dualité que nous abordons sont les suivantes : unions des pôles contraires, différentiation irréductible, altérité, égalité et eschatologie, fondement métaphysique des relations interdites. Les incestes, la force de ce schème à l’intérieur d'une religion rigoureusement monothéiste : le judaïsme- fait du cabalisme un mouvement de pensée très singulier. Nous examinons ensuite la dimension métaphysique que les cabalistes ont prêtée à la copulation sexuelle ainsi qu'à la procréation. A partir d'un ouvrage du XIIIe siècle, œuvre probable de R. Joseph Gikatila, cabaliste de Castille, nous montrons le haut intérêt spéculatif accordé par les cabalistes à la relation sexuelle ainsi que la puissance théurgique qui lui est impartie. En particulier, le rôle joue par l'"intention" des parents au moment de la copulation sur le futur enfant est souligné et étudié en détail. L'acte sexuel se révèle être finalement un acte de penser créateur qui peut constituer une véritable imitation Dei ou une union mystica
At first we explore the main expressions of sexual duality in theosophycal literature of kabbalah we consider the presence of that duality at any level of being : in realms of the godhead, in the world of the souls, in the universe of demonic entities and in the human material sphere. The dualistic structure is a key component of the kabbalist systemic thought. The questions we examine about this duality are as follows : unions of contraries, irreductible differentiation, alterity equality and escatology. We learn so about the metaphysical foundation of prohibited intercourses. The power of this scheme into a monotheistic religion -judaism- make kabbalism a very singular trend of thought. After this we examine the metaphysical dimension given by kabbalists to sexual intercourse and to procreation. From a study about a work of the thirteenth century, probably by the hand of r. Joseph gikatila, a castillan kabbalist, we show the high interest taken by kabbalists to sexual intercourse and to its theurgical power they ascribe to it. Especially, the part played by parents' "intention" at instant of copulation on the intended child is emphasied and analysed with details. Sexual act is revealed to be finaly a creatif thinking

Abstract:
La cabale est souvent conçue comme un phénomène religieux ou une expérience mystique, et, plus rarement, comme une spéculation ou une pensée. Pour les besoins de la présente étude, on s'est attaché à la dimension spéculative de la cabale et, plus particulièrement, à sa réflexion sur le divin. On a traité le problème de la relation qu'elle entretient avec la philosophie qui entend connaitre les réalités divines par d'autres voies que celles de la prophétie et de la révélation. Parmi les doctrines cabalistiques, l'œuvre de Moïse Hayyim Luzzatto, penseur juif italien de la première moitié du 18eme siècle illustre les rapports difficiles et complexes entre les deux sciences. Pour les besoins de cette recherche, on s'est concentre sur les points suivants : - la manière dont Luzzatto conçoit les rapports entre l'"investigation" rationnelle ou la philosophie, et la cabale, savoir prophétique ayant son origine dans une révélation. - la rhétorique de Luzzatto et ses implications herméneutiques. - la logique de Luzzatto et son rôle dans la constitution de sa méthode cabalistique. - la distinction entre "dieu" et le "divin" dans la cabale de Luzzatto. - les implications éthiques et historiosophiques de sa pensée du divin
Kabbalah is often viewed as religious phenomenon and mystical experience rather than speculation or thought. In the framework of my study, i mainly concentrate on the speculative dimension of kabbalah and, more precisely, on its reflexion about the divine. I analyze kabbalah's relationship with philosophy in the work of Moses Hayyim Luzzatto, an Italian Jewish thinker in the 18th century who was a kabbalist, a Talmudist, a poet, a logician, a rhetorician and a moralist. The issues i deal with are the following: - Luzzatto's conception of the relationship between philosophy i. E. Rational "investigation" and kabbalah i. E. Prophetic knowledge based on revelation. - Luzzatto's rethorics and its hermeneutical implications. - Luzzatto's logics and its role in the constitution of its Kabbalistic method. - the distinction between "god" and the "divine" in Luzzatto's kabbalah. - ethical and historiosophical implications of Luzzatto's reflexion on the divine

Dans cette thèse, nous questionnons la cohabitation du marxisme et du messianisme juif au sein du dernier texte de Walter Benjamin (1892-1940), philosophe juif-allemand. Notre objectif est de comprendre la philosophie de l’histoire qui est exposée dans Sur le concept d’histoire. Dans ce texte, écrit juste après la signature du pacte germano-soviétique, Benjamin s’oppose à la foi envers le progrès, compris comme un phénomène naturel et irrésistible. Conséquemment, il s’en prend au progressisme des politiciens communistes et sociaux-démocrates de l’époque. Il présente une alternative à leur philosophie de l’histoire. Selon lui, un potentiel révolutionnaire se trouve dans le passé, qu’il comprend à partir du point de vue des vaincus de l’histoire. Pour activer ce potentiel, il faut lier le passé au présent, afin que les deux se comprennent à la lumière l’un de l’autre. Ceci afin qu’au présent, il soit possible de saisir, comme dans une course à relais, les luttes passées qui ont échoué et de les mener à bien.

Abstract:
My doctoral thesis focuses on the Christian Kabbalah and its relationship with its Jewish counterpart during the seventeenth century. I work especially on a Christian Kabbalist of the late 17th century, Christian Knorr von Rosenroth and his anthology of Christian Kabbalah called the "Kabbala Denudata." The work reflects the philosophical and religious debates of the 17th century (through Knorr’s collaboration with Henry More and the Belgian alchemist Francis Mercury van Helmont), includes many translations of works of Lurianic Kabbalah and a bilingual edition (Aramaic - Latin) of the Zohar. On one hand, the study of "Kabbala Denudata" sheds light on how the Lurianic Kabbalah was received in Europe in the 17th century. On the other hand, the anthology attests of a practice of "perennial philosophy" which is a continuation of the Renaissance thought. Through the use of symbolism, the author elaborates a new form of relationship with the religious orthodoxy of his time and paved the way to a deeper understanding of religious otherness. My research takes place both in the field of the study of Jewish-Christian relations and of the the study of western esotericism. /

Ma thèse de doctorat porte sur la kabbale chrétienne et sur ses rapports avec son homologue juive au 17e siècle. Je travaille en particulier sur un kabbaliste chrétien de la fin du 17e siècle, Christian Knorr von Rosenroth et son anthologie de kabbale chrétienne intitulée la "Kabbala denudata". L’œuvre reflète les débats philosophiques et religieux du 17e siècle (avec notamment des collaborations d’Henry More et de l’alchimiste belge François Mercure van Helmont), comporte de nombreuses traductions d’ouvrages de kabbale lourianique ainsi qu’une édition bilingue (araméen - latin) du Zohar. D’une part, l’étude de la "Kabbala denudata" permet de mieux comprendre la manière dont la kabbale lourianique a été reçue en Europe au 17e siècle. D’autre part, l’anthologie atteste d’une pratique de la "philosophia perennis" qui s’inscrit dans le prolongement de la Renaissance. À travers la pratique du symbolisme, l’auteur construit une nouvelle forme de rapports avec l’orthodoxie religieuse de son temps et ouvre la voie à une compréhension approfondie de l’altérité religieuse. Mes recherches s’inscrivent tant dans le domaine de l’étude des relations judéo-chrétiennes que de l’étude de l’ésotérisme.

Abstract:
Spinoza a rédigé deux ouvrages majeurs : Le Traité Théologico-politique où il interprète l’Écriture, et l’Éthique où il expose sa philosophie. Contrairement à la règle de conduite de Descartes, Spinoza fait irruption dans le domaine de la Théologie en se mêlant d’interpréter l’Écriture. Nous avons cherché quel était le lien entre ces deux oeuvres dont le style et le ton sont tellement différents. D’autre part, Spinoza a écrit une grammaire hébraïque dont personne ne semble se préoccuper. Nous avons voulu savoir ce que venait faire une grammaire hébraïque dans une oeuvre philosophique. L’analyse de son contenu devrait permettre de savoir si cette grammaire avait pour vocation d’admettre une nouvelle interprétation de l’Ecriture et quelle pourrait en être la portée philosophique. L’examen de la méthode d’interprétation de Spinoza et des résultats obtenus permettra de dire si la publication du Traité Théologico-politique avait pour objet d’introduire « l’Éthique ». Il restera à savoir si la révolution spinozienne a été un fait aussi important que la révolution copernicienne. Si en identifiant Dieu à la Nature, Spinoza a fait une découverte de la même importance, et qu’il aurait, comme Copernic, dévoilé à l’humanité un aspect de la réalité qui avait été ignoré pendant des siècles. La philosophie de Spinoza est-elle le résultat d’une refonte du « Savoir » ou bien n’a-t-il fait que réinterpréter, en les refaçonnant des idées anciennes, pour aboutir à un système qui, quoique parfaitement bien construit, n’aurait cependant aucun fondement ? L’objet de cette étude est de suggérer quelques éléments de réponse en vue de permettre une meilleure approche de la question
Spinoza wrote two major works: the Theologico-Political Treatise in which he interprets Scripture, and the Ethics in which he expresses his philosophy. Contrary to the rule that Descartes imposed on himself, Spinoza bursted in the field of Theology by meddling with the interpretation of Scripture. We have looked for the link between those two works which styles and tones are so different. Secondly, Spinoza wrote a Hebrew grammar which nobody seems to care for. We wanted to understand what the place of a Hebrew grammar was in a philosophical work. The analysis of its contents should allow us to know whether the aim of this grammar was to provide a new interpretation of Scripture and what its philosophical impact could be. The examination of the interpretation method and of the results obtained will enable us to say if the aim in publishing the Theologico-Political Treatise was to introduce the Ethics. There remains to know if the Spinozian revolution was as important a fact as the Copernician revolution. If, by identifying God to Nature, Spinoza made a discovery of the same importance, and if he had like Copernic, unveiled to humanity an aspect of the reality which had been ignored for centuries. Was Spinoza's philosophy a result of a reworking of "Knowledge" or did he just reinterpret, by reshaping them, ancient ideas in order to create a system which, although it is well constructed, would have no basis? The aim of this study is to provide some elements of answer to those questions in order to have a better approach of the question

Full text
Abstract:
Le Meshiv Devarîm Nekhohîm, Livre de la Réponse Adéquate est à la fois un ouvrage polémique et un livre de kabbale théosophique, rédigé vers 1245-1246 à Gérone en Catalogne par le kabbaliste Jacob ben Sheshet. L'auteur s'oppose au rationalisme maïmonidien à travers le Ma'âmar Yiqawû ha-Mayîm le Discours sur le Rassemblement des Eaux écrit en 1221 par Samuel Ibn Tibbon, philosophe juif languedocien, traducteur du Guide des Egarés de Maïmonide. Selon les philosophes rationalistes, le monde est éternel, non créé, la Providence divine ne s'exerce pas dans le monde sub-lunaire, sur les individus. Les préceptes sont utilitaires, non révélés, la prière est méditation spirituelle. Le kabbaliste face à cela prône l'adventicité du monde, créé ex-nihilo, l'action de la Providence sur tout le créé et la révélation de la Loi. La prière est élan du cœur et parole prononcée. Les dix premiers chapitres de l'œuvre traitent de la Genèse du monde, de la création de l'homme, de l'âme, de la résurrection, de la destruction et du renouvellement des mondes selon la théorie de l'apocatastase. Les âmes subissent la métensomatose. Le Trône divin correspond au ciel, aux anges, aux Intellects séparés ; le marchepied, aux sphères célestes et aux êtres terrestres. Comportant les quatre éléments, ils sont matière et forme, corruptibles et voués à la mort. Tous les existants sont l'œuvre de Dieu transcendant et de Lui-seul. Ils sont formés, en la seconde sefirah , Hokhmah. Les sefirot sont substance divine et manifestation du divin. Il est possible à l'homme de communier avec le divin dans la debeqût. Le destin d'Israël n'est pas dépendant des astres mais de la Volonté divine, de la prière et des actes de l'homme. Le Meshiv Devarîm Nekhohîm est un carrefour d'idées de kabbale théosophique, d'idées gnostiques, issues du Sefer ha-Bahir, Livre de la Clarté, de notions de cosmologie du langage venues du Sefer Yezirah, Livre de la Formation et de concepts néo-platoniciens et aristotéliciens apportés par la philosophie arabe
Meshiv Devarîm Nekhohîm, The Book of Correct Answer is has been written by Rabbi Yacov ben Sheshet who lived in Spain, in Gerona, Catalunia probably in 1245. The work deals with theosophical kabbalah but it is principally a controversy against Samuel Ibn Tibbon's Ma'âmar Yiqawû ha-Mayîm : Discourse Concerning the Drawing together of the Waters (Genesis, 1, 9), which has been complieted in the year 1221. Samuel Ibn Tibbon lived in southern France, in Languedoc; he was a philosopher who translated Maïmonides' Guide of the Perplexed from Arab to Hebrew. Yacov ben Sheshet's book is a controversy against rationalism, opposing faith to reason. The kabbalist states that God created the universe de novo, ex- nihilo. The divine Providence acts in the sub-lunar and in the celestial world as well. God himself gave to Israel, His people the precepts of His law, the Torah. Ibn Tibbon is charged with thinking that the world is eternal ; the divine Providence is too far from it to exert any influence. The precepts are mere social laws; they are necessary for human health, good deeds and morality. Prayer is spiritual meditation and not – according to the kabbalist - a dialogue with God, praise and request for what is needed in every day life. God created everything by Himself. Man stands as a microcosm, the celestial world being the macrocosm. God is transcendent and He is perceived through His manifestation in the universe, thanks to the ten sefirot which are God's substance. The terrestrial universe is destroyed after seven millenaries (theory of apocatastasis). Human soul transmigrates from human to human body: metensomatosis. Deads resurrect with their own body. Man is able to approach God closely in the debeqût. Israel destiny is not related to the stars, but only to divine Will, prayer, learning and repentance. The Book of Correct Answer is a work of theosophic kabbalah, it also includes gnostic ideas from the Book of Clarity and notions about the part played by Hebraic letters in the world creation and also neo-platonic and Aristotelian ideas inherited from Arab philosophy

Abstract:
L`enjeu théorique de cette thèse est de dégager les lignes principales d`une tradition de pensée non – justificative du mal, une tradition qui est, tout comme la théodicée, engendrée par le «monothéisme biblique». En partant du texte hébraïque de la Genèse et en passant par certaines des interprétations midrashiques et cabalistiques que ce texte a suscitées, ce travail essaie également de reconstituer le devenir d`une tradition dans laquelle la pensée de la transcendance est indissociable d`une pensée du mal fondamental. La première partie discute les bases métaphysiques et ontologiques de la théodicée en tant que corollaire du théisme, ses enjeux, les problèmes philosophiques et logiques qu`elle soulève, ainsi que les bases de son dépassement. Le dépassement de la logique théiste, du règne du Principe et d`une pensée binaire-oppositive est envisageable par le truchement d`un réinvestissement d`un schéma mythique que nous exposons dans la deuxième partie de ce travail. La deuxième partie explore également les avatars de la pensée et de l`imaginaire mythiques des origines, leur occultation dans le scénario de la Création, ainsi que leur redécouverte dans les commentaires rabbiniques. La troisième partie est dédiée aux problématisations cabalistiques du mal et de la Création, qui représentent l`affirmation plénière du schéma mythique et à partir desquelles nous pouvons entamer une démarche de pensée non-justificative
The main objective of this thesis is to set the basis of a non-justifying approach of the problem of evil and to point at the existence of a non-theodicean tradition in Jewish thought. Since both theodicy and this non-justifying scheme are rooted in “Biblical monotheism”, I tried to illustrate the gradual constitution of a tradition based on the Biblical narratives of Creation and wherein the notion of transcendence is inseparable from that of radical evil. The first part considers the metaphysical and ontological bases of theodicy - seen as a corollary of theism - its implications, the philosophical and logical problems it engenders, as well as a possible basis for its overcoming. The overcoming of theistic logics, of the supremacy of the Unique Principle and of the binary model is possible by means of the recuperation of a mythical scheme which I expose in the second part of this study. The second part explores as well the development of this mythical conception of origins, from its occultation in the Biblical scenario of Creation to its reviviscence in the rabbinic interpretations. The third part is dedicated to the cabalistic explorations of the issues of evil and Creation, explorations which constitute the full affirmation of the mythical scheme and the bases for a non-justifying approach

Abstract:
This thesis contrasts the Plotinean attitude towards transcendence at the cosmological level with that of certain Kabbalistic authors of the 13th-17th century. Special emphasis is placed on the different approaches taken by each of the two sides to addressing the origin of otherness. Following a brief introduction to the notion of the question of transcendence, the first major part (chapter II) is dedicated to an exploration of the Plotinean conception of metaphysical "descent" from the One to subsequent hypostases. The second major part (chapter III) focuses on Kabbalistic conceptions of the descent from the indefinite infinite to the finite (limited) realm. Finally, I attempt to illustrate the questions and concerns common to each of the two cosmologies. In so doing, I make use of semiotic concepts to clarify the contrast between the two models.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis aims to provide a critique of the conclusions of Gershom Scholem regarding the potential for ‘Gnostic’-Kabbalistic filiation, and to establish whether, in light of the available evidence, Scholem’s arguments (which have yet, to my mind, to be sufficiently challenged) can be reasonably supported. I strive to offer an arguably clearer definition of the relevant taxonomic terms than is often presented in scholarly analyses of this question, whilst also arguing for the applicability to this debate of certain pertinent methodological approaches drawn from the wider school of comparative mythology. As such, I also attempt to establish a clear methodology for judging the probability of the genetic descent of one ‘system’ from another, viz. that perhaps the most logical method for assessing potential similarities between different ‘systems’ is to assume in the first instance that all correspondences identified are essentially coincidental, dismissing this assumption only if one can identify a high level of exactness in these comparisons (such as would render pure coincidence relatively improbable) and/or establish a secure chain of transmission between two sources, a chain which renders the transmission of ideas not only possible but indeed probable. Applying this methodology to certain potential routes by which second century ‘Gnostic’ thought might have been transmitted to the origin point of the medieval Kabbalah, I attempt both to demonstrate the wider applicability of such a methodology beyond the narrow question of ‘Gnostic’-Kabbalistic relationships, and to illustrate the serious difficulties with advancing any of these potential routes as a reliable source for the transmission of ‘Gnostic’ ideas to the Kabbalah. Rather, I argue that it may be more logically defensible, in the absence of clear source evidence, to ascribe such correspondences as are located purely to coincidence, albeit a coincidence perhaps somewhat tempered by certain observations regarding the relative ubiquity of certain concepts and modes of thought.

Abstract:
This study examines the influence of various Western mystical traditions on Leonard Cohen’s second novel, Beautiful Losers. It begins with a discussion of Cohen’s public remarks concerning religion and mysticism followed by an assessment of twentieth century Canadian criticism on Beautiful Losers. Three thematic chapters comprise the majority of the study, each concerning a different mystical tradition—Kabbalism, Gnosticism, and Christian mysticism, respectively. The author considers Beautiful Losers in relation to these systems, concluding that the novel effectively depicts the pursuit of God, or knowledge, through mystic practice and doctrine. This study will interest scholars seeking a careful exploration of Cohen’s use of religious themes in his work.

Full text
Abstract:

Denna uppsats är en explorativ studie ur relationistiskt perspektiv av vad som bidrar till välbefinnande och hälsa i vårdsammanhang. För att ange och beskriva relationella förhållanden har Martin Bubers dialogfilosofi använts som teoretisk modell. Grundrelationer som uppstår mellan Jag-Du eller Jag-Det och återfinns i dimensionerna, människa-det andliga, människa-människa, människa-natur. Denna filosofi har tillsammans med Katie Erikssons vårdteori i ”Vårdandets idé” använts i en hermeneutisk analys av praktiska vårdmöten. Utifrån dessa teorier har en jämförelse och därefter syntes varit utgångspunkt i analysarbetet. Vårdmötena skildrar vård ur olika perspektiv, patient, anhörigvårdare samt vårdpersonal, inom olika vårdsammanhang. Studien är subjektiv och inte generell i sin kvalitativa ansats men resultatet visar ändå på viktiga relationella samband som bidrar till upplevelser av hälsa och helhet i läkeprocessen. Det är viktigt att dessa relationsaspekter som resurs för läkedom får plats i vårdplaneringen utifrån Hälso- och sjukvårdslagens intentioner. Denna helhetssyn har dock inte funnits i tillräcklig utsträckning inom befintlig offentlig sjukvård på grund av ett endimensionellt biomedicinskt synsätt på människan som haft tolkningsföreträde inom denna under en längre period. Denna studie visar på det subjektiva värdet av den mångdimensionella synen på och bemötandet av människan, patienten inom vården. Detta medför möjlighet till upplevelse av helhet och delaktighet i läkeprocessen.

Full text
Abstract:
This phenomenological study was conducted in order to understand the everyday experiences of contemporary mystics in the Jewish traditions of Kabbalah. This author could find no available information about psychological research of this topic in psychological, educational or psychiatric databases. She used the applied phenomenological methodology of Howard Pollio and the Research Groups at the University of Tennessee. Interviews were conducted by this author with eight volunteer, living, adult participants who lived throughout the United States and ranged in age from 37 to 60+ years. These mystics were found through various means after they had described themselves, by their own definitions, as mystics in the Jewish traditions(s) of Kabbalah. There were six men and two women who participated; four were Jewish and four were not. The interviews ranged from one to three hours in length, were recorded, and later transcribed for confidential analyses. After analyzing the results, the Ground of the participants’ experience was determined to be Being Aware. The Thematic Structure of the participants’ everyday experiences of living with their mystical events and processes contained six themes: 1) Divine/Sacred, 2) Receiving/Calling/Gift, 3) Knowing/Realizing, 4) Practices/Body, 5)Developing/Stages, and 6) Struggling: Self/Others/World. Implications for this study suggest that the everyday experiences of these mystical participants are different in many ways from everyday experiences of non-mystics. There is some support for the ideas of spiritual intelligence, spiritual giftedness, consciousness advancement. Appreciating intuition, higher emotional states, and the deeper, yet usually hidden parts of human experience, along with learning to identify and support young people who are having mystical experiences is a worthwhile goal for psychologists.
