Denèle, Clémentine. "L'iconographie de saint Michel archange dans les peintures murales et les panneaux peints en Italie : (1200-1518)." Thesis, Dijon, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014DIJOL041/document.
Full textThis work is an investigation into murals and panel paintings depicting Archangel Michael in Italy, between 1200 and 1518. It presents a broad historiographical update and an overview of the development of the michaelic cult and iconography from its origins to 1200. With a corpus of over 500 paintings, the images of the Archangel are scrutinized in their finest details and their general evolution is put back into a spatiotemporal framework, so as to bring out its specificities. On both formal and iconographical levels, Michael's figure is split between evoking his spiritual nature and showing his physical strength, in human form, and it crystallises around the image of the warrior in the middle of the fourteenth century. This study considers a painting to be a manufactured object, a thought-through object, a received object, an used object. The iconographic developments play a role in the archangel's sanctification and are at the heart of visual experiences using painted images, representations and miraculous visions of the archangel. Universal symbol of the fight of Good against Evil or divine justice, and efficient agent in the intermediate afterlife, organised and managed by the Church, the michaelic iconography is a tool of its penitential system. But Michael has no real figure, therefore his representation is a reflection of how men perceive him. The representations of the most human of angels and the most heavenly of saints, are no less than a way of thinking Man itself, in his relationship with the Church, with God, and especially in the way Man perceives himself, perceives his role and his responsibility when time of salvation arises
Ciucu, Cristina. "Le problème du mal dans la genèse." Lyon 3, 2009. https://scd-resnum.univ-lyon3.fr/in/theses/2009_in_ciuci_c.pdf.
Full textThe 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

Full textEvil in Georges Bataille’s novelistic work expresses itself in each component of the fictional universe. The characters’ bodies are plagued by filth, ugliness, diseases and death : the body’s text gives resonance. Their psychology is the victim of a deep malaise, of a suffocation to the bitter end of structured life. Revealing a will to embrace the Impossible while physical and psychological excrements, drunkenness, insanity, laughter and perversions are testifying to. We assist then to a work of destruction of all system governing (mutilating) the human existence (family, religion, ideologies). Space, setting of material and moral stain, of death and of decline joins to time, allegory of disorder, of night and of storm, favouring the installation of a devilish universe. The ambivalent existence of the woman is, finally, the personification of Evil against any idealistic representation

Full textThe poetics of evil in Voltaire’s work is a study of Voltaire’s imagination through the images of evil that the author reveals into the world. The exploration of the scenes of misfortunes, of evil, and of the wicked is a reflection on how Voltaire perceives ugliness, the sick, barbarity, war, and inquisition. His pictures depict the Voltairian anxiety and haunting in front of the world’s and man’s disorder. Voltaire rebels against the sufferance of the innocent, the bestial side of the battle’s “heroes”, the intolerance of the churchmen, and superstition. His scenes of evil reveal his surprise – eirôneia in front of the universe and the loathsome man whom Voltaire caricatures even more. His deep distress is a component of his temperament, of his education, of the ideas that prevailed in the world in his époque, and of his unconscious. The reflection on the evil as imagined by Voltaire is accompanied with philosophical, psychological, and stylistic hypotheses that come to one’s mind when confronted with the issue of evil
Dubasque, Maylis. "L'Ange déchu, ontogenèse du mal dans le soin." Thesis, Paris Est, 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019PESC2049.
Full textCaring is a movement towards the ones who need care, essentially inhabited by kindness. This is the way the angel thinks and expresses himself, in his own magnificence. Las! The cared person, feeling as much trust as suffering, points out his frequent failure. This is also the way the angel disappoints and thereby falls. If goodness is inherent to care, is this reported evil real ? Does it exist, "in-itself », such as the dark side of good ? We could thus call it "the least evil", whose patients would be well advised to be satisfied of. Or is it directly derived from the caring action and its context ? Aristotle talks about a sub-lunar contingent world, which can not be, and a supra-lunar world, a necessary and inevitable world, which cannot not be. To which world does care belong, and if evil really exists, what are its forms ? Morality, which everyone supposes to underlie the situation of care, declines and indeed varies according to the times and places, as History has shown us well. We suppose that the metaphysical dimension of care is beyond the givercare’s ethic. This ontology would make universal a necessary vigilance regarding to what all the actors of care are jointly determined to do. Among these, we unclude guardianship structures and public authorities. We will thus also approach both the atmosphere of radical and predictive knowledge and the dematerialization of meetings
Echraghi, Abbas. "Le mal dans les gâthâ et dans le zurvanisme." Thesis, Reims, 2020. http://www.theses.fr/2020REIML005.
Full textIn the Gathas, Zoroaster’s poetic work and the founding text of the Zoroastrian religion, Evil is essentially rooted in the human choice which manifests itself through thought, speech and action, while remaining an occult, abstract principle. The principle of morality is not rooted in the Good but in a universal and intentional choice made by human and even supernatural beings. The gathic text establishes on the one hand, an expressive correspondence between intelligence and Goodness, and ignorance and Evil on the other hand. It mentions the essential correlates of such a moral system: eschatology and post mortem retribution of the good and the bad.In stark contrast to the gathic division of the world between good and evil, is the cult of Zurvan, God of Time and Destiny. After a a millennial sacrifice in order to have a luminous son – Ahura Mazda, creator of a happy world – Zurvan finally concedes the royalty of the world to Dark Ahriman, born from his doubt on the effectiveness of the ritual and related to his impatient desire. Thus, in a striking new way, Evil is rooted in God himself, more precisely in the divine desire to beget. But the cult of Zurvan conceals a spark of salvation: the reign of Ahriman is doomed to decline after 9000 years

Full textThis study proposes to demonstrate, in light of the theme of evil, a correspondence between Herman Melville and Albert Camus. Both were obsessed by the problem of evil, and each found a way of expressing that obsession. In spite of their many differences, the comparison between the two is not only possible, but invited by the many parallels in their life and work. This entails a comparative analysis on several levels: formal, literary and philosophical. There follows a comparison of selected works from the authors respective oeuvres. The theme of evil is shown to be present in the early works (Typee, Omoo, Mardi, Redburn, White jacket, L'Envers et l'endroit, and Noces). An analysis of evil in Moby Dick and La Peste is the main focus of the study. The subject is then examined as it is manifested in the characters of Achab and Caligula, and pursued in the correspondences between Bartelby, L'Étranger and Billy Budd. The final section is devoted to the confidence man and la chute, followed by a conclusion asserting the omnipresence of evil in both authors' work
Leys-Botella, Stéphanie. "Les mythes et l'obsession du mal dans l'oeuvre de Sylvie Germain." Clermont-Ferrand 2, 2004. http://www.theses.fr/2004CLF20007.
Full textAccording to the author, Sylvie Germain, own confession, her work is characterised by a permanent anxiety facing the impossibility to change the world, to make it better. "No, there is no answer facing the scandal of Evil and the suffering of the innocents. There are only haunting and ceaseless questions. Of course, great myths, legends, as much as religious texts, help us tack down a little sense and keep an aim". Even thought Evil cannot be eradicated from human nature, the author understands that only mythic writing, with a specifique structure, can reintegrate chaos to the heart of creative unity. This is why this thesis will try to show how Sylvie Germain imaginary world using characters, places and time, manage to create what can be qualified, according to a "mythocritic" inspired by Pierre Albouy, Gilbert Durand or Brunel, as a literary myth. Thanks to the literary myth as defined by the previous three critics, Evil related to destruction can be restructured, metamorphosed or reinstaded in a structure of the found again origin. The myths of the disorder which express themselves through a bunch of various mythological traditions put up with the t emptation of dispair in front of a tragic and historical conciousness being the reflection of our time. Yet thanks to restored schemes and redemptive archetypes, they transform the space-time myths into myths where the palingenesia becomes a creative magic. At the turn of the century, darkenned by decadence, Sylvie Germain draws from the heart of the myths, the power which sets free from the secular by a poetic, epic and aesthetic combat. Mastering a style combining religion and psychanalysis, she traces the itinerary of her own healing and she gives hope back to the entire collectivity. She becomes a writer of the dawn, searching endlessly to eradicate the night

Hirt, André. "L'exposition de la poésie : approches de Baudelaire." Paris 8, 1998. http://www.theses.fr/1998PA081394.
Full textNot only does baudelaire found modern poetry, but his work embodies the factual setting in wich the recognition of modernity is engaged. Poetry is therefore a thought, i. E. Productive of thruths. Baudelaire puts an end to the old ritual of poetry (idealization, the model, perfection) by emphasizing its modern status of exposition. That is why poetry is not only steeped in things and in the prosaic, but also compelled to assume the infinity of the modern world of commodity, of thought and of language. On the other hand, poetry is exposed in that it opens itself the the infinite of thruths. Through its critical function, it necessarily shifts all the constitutions of the senses of the world and of history ( wich, for his part, baudelaire sees concentrated in the idea of " progress"). The name of the exposition of poetry is " evil". Baudelaire does not set a conceptual architecture, but an operative device of poetic rationality: evil, correspondances, spleen, modernity form the cardinal points of this thought. These " approaches to baudelaire ", attempted philosophically hut while paying regard to baudelaire's language and the thinking peculiarity of poetry, a concept of wich we gradually endeavour to nroduce, are as much purely theoretical ( sens and thruth, modern-modernity, evil and infinite, time and eternal return), as aesthetic ( imagery, alleqory, arabesque, the " colour" of truth in painting, translation) or existential ( spleen, aura, drug and drunkenness). Beside such great supports of the history of philosophy as plato and hegel, we go through the distirbutions of the matter wich are essential to us, with heldegger, benjamin and foucault
Coudurier, Perrine. "Le mal dans les récits français des années 1950 : terreur et rhétorique." Thesis, Paris 4, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014PA040126.
Full textOur work relates to the question of evil in French stories published between 1945 and 1962, therefore between two trials that have questioned the specificity of evil and guilt, namely the Nuremberg trial and the Eichmann trial. These stories, written after the war, were published by writers who either directly took part in the fight (like Simon or Camus), or simply had echos of it (like Butor or Bataille). The heart of our study is the essay of Jean Paulhan entitled Les Fleurs de Tarbes ou la terreur dans les lettres. This essay enabled us to analyse evil, not only in terms of History — by referring to the Nazi terror and its consequences — but also in literary and metaphorical terms, therefore considering the term ‘terror’ according to the definition of Paulhan and Sade. In both these stories and our work, terror is constantly offset by its opposite, rhetoric, which constitutes the basis for a generation of ‘anti-Modern’ writers who aim at esthetical modernity without denying the importance of the novelistic tradition of the 19th Century. The question of evil through the notions of terror and rhetoric leads us to specify the approach of evil in Sartre and Bataille’s novels, or in testimonies. These notions allow us to analyse the status of the Nouveau Roman from an historical perspective, often denied by critics, and to show the constant wavering of this group of writers between terror and rhetoric. The nouveaux romanciers are not only looking for exception, abstruseness, but they are also seeking a common rhetoric, capable of recreating a community otherwise broken by the war

Full textThis research tries to find a significative relation between psychopathology and culture. In the western world guilt appears as a key notion in the expression of the psychical pain and in the main interpretations of it. The study of the cultural foundation of western guilt leads to a reflexion on the specificity of the problem of evil in Greek, Jewish and Christian traditions. The Christian doctrine of original singives an exceptional place to ontological guilt. The difference between the graecowestern thought and the Hebraic thought is emphasized. The historical, psychological and anthropological study of the western personality insists on the importance of individualism. The analogy between the cultural personality and the personality described in melancholy and in obsessive compulsive neurosis is emphasized. An historical and psychopathological study of these two forms is proposed. The amalgation of madness and of fault in the western psychiatry is emphasized. Interpretation demands the knowledge of the world of meaning, centred, in the western tradition, on sin and on the research of the individual salvation. The pertinence of the psychoanalytical point of view is referred to the central place of guilt in the Freudian theory. The pluridisciplinary approach is required : it leads to the knowledge of the mythicosymbolic complex, dominated, in the western world, by the myths of Orpheus, Adam and Prometheus

Full textLe présent mémoire a pour objet la métaphysique du mal sous-jacente au système de la liberté élaboré par Schelling en 1809 dans son dernier traité intitulé Recherches philosophiques sur l’essence de la liberté humaine et les sujets qui s’y rattachent. Il sera question, dans un premier temps, pour pouvoir aborder ces Recherches dans leur juste perspective, d’une reconstruction du problème de l’identité de l’identité et de la différence basées sur les principaux textes de la philosophie de l’Identité de Schelling, et ce dans la mesure où ce problème sous-tend les enjeux liés au système de la liberté. Dans un second temps, nous aborderons le système de la liberté en montrant que la différence finie est pensée en 1809 comme liberté humaine pour le bien et pour le mal. Cette détermination de la différence nous acheminera enfin, dans un troisième temps, vers la métaphysique du mal que Schelling conçoit alors comme une théodicée. L’enjeu sera dès lors de rapporter cette différence, la liberté humaine comme pouvoir du bien et du mal, à l’Identité, au système, à Dieu.

Full textThis doctoral thesis suggests taking back the whole of Kant's practical philosophy downstream, i.e. from the chronologically late work in the Kantian corpus, The Religion within the limits of the simple reason (1793), the first part of which assigns to the will a challenge: “radical evil”. “Radical evil” is neither the absolute nor devilish evil, but it consists of an inversion (Verkehrtheit) of the order of the principles within the will, and can only be eradicated by the utter conversion of the heart. With the evil opens the antinomie of the Judaism which the philosopher considers as the paramount counter-model of the faith, and the Christianity, held to be the one and only unhistorical criterium of the religion the only to solve the problem of the new man. If, according to Kant, the Judaism is noumenally invalid because it is not able to convey the contents of the rational religion, the philosopher, who considers the biblical prohibition of the idolization as “the most sublime command of the Book of law of the Jews”, grants it nevertheless the merit of emphasizing respect. Christianity, as for him, emphasizes love, which, in practical meaning that Kant retains, is the state of perfection of the intention towards which we have to aim

Full textWe analyze the last work written by Pierre Bayle, the Entretiens de Maxime et de Thémiste (1707), where he opposes for the last time two Arminian Theologians, Jean Le Clerc and Isaac Jaquelot. Their quarrel started with the publication of Bayle’s Dictionnaire historique et critique (1697) and continued until his death in 1706. By pointing to the insoluble problem of evil and sin, he proposes a refutation of rational arguments that attempt to prove Christian Theology. We examine all the writings involved in this controversy and review in great length its arguments. Bayle shows that Christianity is unable to demonstrate its dogmas by reason, and claims that only faith can legitimate them. Therefore it is concluded that religion for Bayle belongs to the private sphere, and cannot be rationalized through a philosophical dialogue

Full textThis ph. D. Research deals with the question, mainly in a literary perspective, of the form(s) given to an inherited figure, the devil of christianity and western culture, at a certain moment of time (after the first world war), in literary works of a determined genre (novels) and written by three major and contemporary writers of the modern european world (thomas mann, georges bernanos and c. S. Lewis). Firstly, the research shows the existence of strong links between the writing of the novels, the re-appearance of the character of the devil in these literary worlds and the historical context (two world wars, totalitarianism, secularization). Secondly, it analysizes the substantial modifications in the character's representation, which i call the principle of re-coding (recodage) of inherited traditions. Finally it answers the question of how the writer managed to make the appareance of this obsolete character plausible in the context of the contemporary world as shown in the novels - this leads to detailed and comparative studies of the aesthetics of the "fantastique", science-fiction and fantasy. The conclusion of this ph. D. Is that the character of the devil appears irreplaceable to western thought: no other symbol is as rich and meaningful, as expressive and at the same time open to all kinds of interpretations. It seems that the european literature and culture will not manage to get easily rid of this definitely central character
Delsouiller, Marlene. "L'iconographie de l'Arbre sec au Moyen Age." Thesis, Lille 3, 2012. http://www.theses.fr/2012LIL30045.
Full textThe iconography of the Dry Tree or leafless tree is present through out the Middle Ages, but paradoxally, its study has only attracted few historians of art of the XXth and XXIst centuries. To compensate for this, we choose to devote our thesis to an extensive study of this tree. We examine the formal aspect given to the Dry Tree depicted in the images, the evolution of its physical form through the centuries, the period when it first appears and when it disappears, as well as the symbolism it carries, a powerful signification related to the quest for Salvation. The core of our research is the images that depict a crucial episod in the Legend of the wood of the Cross — Seth’s vision of the leafless tree of the Earthly Paradise. Other images of the Dry Tree, which we call « variations », are also examined : the theme of the Dry Tree taken from the Legend is transposed in extra-legendary contexts such as in the romances of Alexander the Great and the Lancelot-Graal, the Divine Comedy, the Million by Marco Polo and the Voyages by Jean de Mandeville, as well as the Pilgrimage of the soul by Guillaume de Digulleville. The Dry Tree is also depicted in Our Lady of the Dry Tree by Petrus Christus. The images show the Dry Tree in Paradise or in a place which symbolises Paradise, with Christ in the Dry tree, or figures or animals as symbols of Christ. The powerful and multiple symbolism is present : the Dry Tree is a reference to the tree of the knowledge, to the tree of the Cross and to the tree of life. Therefore, it is no surprise that the images show man in his quest for the Dry Tree, ie in the quest for God
Belot, Gondaud Caroline. "La figure du couple machiavélique." Thesis, Paris 4, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014PA040178.
Full textThe figure of the Machiavellian couple, which appears in Shakespeare, Laclos, Barbey d’Aurevilly, Henry James, James M. Cain, among others, is studied through a three-fold approach. The first one is a structural one and aims at identifying the basic elements of the figure and its scenario. This approach confirms the existence of two matrix, one based on the couple of Macbeth and the other on the pair of libertines of Laclos’ novel Les Liaisons dangereuses. The second approach is interpretative and underlines the biblical basis of the figure of the Machiavellian couple in its Shakespearean version, which is a rewriting of the Fall of Adam and Eve while the couple of Laclos signals the deterioration of romantic relationships in a courtly meaning. The third approach deals with aesthetics and aims at studying the forms and poetics of the figure and its effect on the reader as well as its added value in relation to the “Canon figure” of the Villain. This third approach deals also with the aesthetics of Evil linked to the figure of the Machiavellian couple
Barichard, Louis-Hervé. "Le problème du mal dans la Summa de bono de Philippe le Chancelier." Thèse, 2012. http://hdl.handle.net/1866/9750.
Full textThis master’s thesis intends to clarify Philip the Chancellor’s answer to the problem of evil in the Summa de bono (1225-1228). To this end, we focus on the concept of evil as located within the transcendental system and the division of created good resulting from the supreme good. This sum, which is conceived from the primacy of the transcendental notion of good, was drafted in opposition to the Manichean doctrine of Cathars, a belief popular in the thirteenth century, which states that two metaphysical principles cause good and evil and it is from these principles that all things are created by nature. For this reason, we decided to study the concepts of good and evil only in a general sense, because the author dismantles the possibility of natural evil at the universal level of the ontology of the good and, prior to the deployment of the created good, it is through the sum’s questions that specific problems can be resolved. Here, we offer for the first time a French translation of several questions useful to this project.
