Full textIn The Theory of Moral Sentiments, Adam Smith establishes a pluralist scheme to explain moral approbation, with four kinds of moral judgments: 1) regarding the motives of the agent, the judgment determines its propriety or impropriety; 2) regarding the immediate effects of the action, the judgement determines its merit or demerit; 3) analyzing if this act is a particular case of a general rule, the judgement determines if the agent has acted according to his duty; and 4) regarding the remote effects of the action, that is, the way this action is a part of the global operations of society (a judgement that Smith calls the appearance of utility). These four kinds of moral judgments are grounded in imagination and form the totality of the principle of approbation that structure the speculative part of his moral philosophy
Euvrard, Jean-Louis. "Philosophie et marché chez Adam Smith : morale de l'économie, économie de la morale." Nantes, 1997. http://www.theses.fr/1997NANT3013.
Full textAdam smith has all too frequently been made the founder of politiqual economy, in a hidden kind of way since he considered his moral work (theory of moral sentiments) as more important than the wealth of nations and since the economy is, for him, always grounded in moral philosophy. In realty, he only became an "economist" for philosophical reasons. There is an evolving process of the transformation from philosophy to economics : the enigma of the self regulating market is finally resolved, the solution is finally found in wich the fundamental problem of a long term social link is optimal. All economic theses are based on a paricular philosophical hermeneutic of the market. In order to demonstrate this thesis, it is intended to uncover the virtues of the self regulationg market, taking as the guideline the ever espace present concept of nature in the wealth of nations. The "commercial society" is the historical manifestation of human nature, with de smith's version of natural law. It embodies the emergence of a system of "natural" economic laws (in the sense of a mechanism tending toward an unintentional state wich reveals itself unconciously orientated towards the public good). But the analysis of wealth of nations seem to contradict the results of the moral philosophy. Hence the "adam smith problem". An examination of the theory of moral sentiments shows that two models exist: one wich links the moral to the social, by fully developing natural morality; and the other by withdrawal. The weath of nations is only the "becoming" part of this withdrawal, a minimal articulation of the order of moral coexistence and the economic order. A realistic solution is one of the lesser evil, which brings about the apparently denied moral ends by other means. It is here that lies the philosophical dignity of the market as the semi dialectic inheritance of natural morality

Full textThe thesis sustains that Adam Smith attenuates his critical position with regard to the search for wealth accumulation in commercial societies between the Theory of Moral Sentiments and The Wealth of Nations. Such a change is associated with a new \"character\" of economic relations that emerges in the last of these works: the accumulator of capital. The difference between the search for fortune and the accumulation of capital, we argue, is associated with a conceptual difference between wealth and capital, which is owed, according to our conception, to the physiocrat\'s influence over the Smithian idea of \"progress of opulence,\" and perhaps even over his general view of society. Finally, we argue - and this is our main point - that Adam Smith sought to reconcile this change with what he had written in his first work. This attempt was evidenced by subtle but relevant aspects of the modifications that the philosopher introduced in the text of the Theory of Moral Sentiments in his last revision of 1790.
Okan, Ecem. "Entre histoire et analyse : le progrès selon David Hume et Adam Smith." Thesis, Paris 1, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018PA01E050.
Full textThis dissertation examines the relationship between history and analysis in Hume’s and Smith's considerations on progress. Its objective is twofold. First, it aims to show that these two Scottish thinkers bring together an historical approach, i.e. conjectural history, with another historical approach stemming from their analysis of the rise of civil society. Hume conflates these two distinct historical approaches in his political philosophy, whereas Smith separates gradually his economic analysis of from his political philosophy ― which is a conjectural history of civil society. According to both of them, the government originates from the inequality of wealth within society and its main purpose is to secure private property. The economic analysis of the Wealth of Nations derives from this theory of government and justice. Secondly, this study aims to emphasize that Smith’s economic theory is less historical than Hume. This is illustrated by the difference between Hume’s and Smith’s stance on the problem of the British public debt. While Hume points out the danger proceeding from Great Britain's aggressive international politics ― by drawing a parallel with the Roman Empire ―, Smith brings to the fore the economic effects of public debt, which, despite their harmfulness, are offset by private savings. Such a comparison explains the subsequent emergence of the classical school which deploys a purely theoretical economic analysis that lacks historical context

Full textIt might seem paradoxical to talk about the weakness of liberalism precisely when the march of liberal Enlightenment seems so irresistible. This weakness, however, displays itself in the fact that the criticism of liberalism, especially in its economical aspects, has become a staple of our intellectual lives, within the academia and outside it. This might lead us back to the theoretical roots of liberalism in order to find out if those criticism are justified, or if there are not overlooked ressources for self-criticism and justification in the liberal Enlightenment itself. To achieve this task, Adam Smith's writings seem particularly important. Although Adam Smith is known today almost only as the author of The Wealth of Nations, his writings, whose influence has been enormous, cover a wide range of subjects, from political economy to moral philosophy, rhetoric, aesthetics or epistemology. The comparison of his main works with those of Plato, Aristotle and Rousseau, could thus allow us to disclose the foundations of modem liberal democracy, and especially the economical foundations of this regime. It appears, then, that Smith's vindication of the system of natural liberty cannot be separated from broader political and moral issues and that the freedom given to everyone to better his material condition is, according to him, an essential element of a free regime. Smith, in this way, help us to perceive the link between some of the main componants of the modem regimes, such as individual freedom, commerce, and a "humanistic" ethic

Full textThe assumption of this work is the following : it is possible to find, in Adam ferguson's Essay on the history of civil society, the deployment of a discursive formation, which we will call "anthropological discourse", that governs the field of the natural history of man at the classical age. In order to analyze this figure of knowledge, we will show how Ferguson, while claiming to base his moral and political project on the necessity and universality of the "laws of mind" that are supposed to govern men in society, has, on the contrary, based the truth of the historical facts on the discourse, a discourse that becomes the place, not of the confirmation of the laws of human nature inferred from observation, but of their realization. Thus, an archaelogical reading of the Essay makes it possible to pinpoint the moment when history as a description splits off from history as a narration, when there emerges a shared knowledge between historical and anthropological discourses

Full textWe hold our interest for Villiers' tales from the genuine and personal sense of humor, made of scathing mockery and imaginativeness which confers to the short texts all their flavor and modem character. The “insolite” approach means looking at reality from aside, both by showing some interest for modernity and refusing it, on the look for the presence of the fabulous in our daily routine while, at the same time, denouncing the abuses of an era that is entirely turned towards progress and profit. Villiers is a close witness of modernity and plays the part of a literary Daumier. By presenting a different aspect of reality, the “insolite” tales built from daily scenes tend to present a new picture of such places of modernity as the streets and cafes. Villiers is a painter who grows fond of objects by giving them a singular meaning and by distracting them from their current one. To our knowledge, the in-depth study of Villiers' use of colors remains to be done; yet, the presence of such colors as black, red and white contribute to his creation of a symbolic universe. Thus Villiers shakes up certain traditional codes and plays on the blending of colors. The founding “insolite” the typography of the tales is peculiar : Villiers wants to create an instant impact on the reader who will thus be kept in a state of shock. We qualify Villiers' language as “insolite” because of its constant way of going a bit overboard when he imitates the style of a fossilized speech in order to denounce the excesses that can be found in advertising, journalism or scientific exposes. The insolite is at the junction of dream, irony and thought; it enables the dreamer to use imagination, to speak freely and the mocker to use satire and black humor. By challenging the reign of the masses with the thought of the single, creative individual, “insolite” humor shows the strength and importance of ideas and words in a world which is turning more and more towards matter. The insolite approach opens the way to the freedom of thought; indeed, Villiers is a surprisingly modem author

Full textThis dissertation confronts the economic philosophies of J. -J. Rousseau, A. Smith and J. Bentham to B. Mandeville's work. It establishes the points the three authors concord and those that show their disagreement as regards their answer to the central question of any economy philosophy : what is the nature and the status of economics in relation to morals and politics ? Rousseau's and Smith's answers face economic theory with a choice. According to the former economics is subsidiary to politics whereas fot the latter it corresponds to a well identified sphere of human action. Bentham ignores this choice and renews Mandeville's analytical option. Bentham considers the utility principle is capable of accounting for human behaviour in any of the constituting spheres of social organisation. Thus, he lays the foundations of contemporary economic theory

Full textThis study aims to investigate the philosophy of Adam Smith, founded in feelings, in which participation in the situation of others creates a reciprocity of sensations and emotions, which serve as input for the establishment of moral valuation. A morality constructed from synthetic judgments of fact 'a posteriori', that generate causal reasoning and factual perceptions of others. A reflective practice, ethics and pedagogy. Understanding will be that the moral and philosophical ideas of Adam Smith were not properly distributed, and a partial view of his works obnubilaram true knowledge of his genius. In addition, perquirir will be what are the moral foundations of economic and contractual obligations, based on a movement of reconciliation between ethics and economics. Therefore, context will be all these inventions with contract principles, the Brazilian Civil Code, changed with the incorporation of standard terms (social function, good faith and trust), which require the hermeneutist rigor and creativity in completing and setting their senses. Curriculum: The moral philosophy of Adam Smith is based on the usefulness and self-interest? Or that selfinterest is morally and socially conditioned? You can establish business relations and ethical, ie, it is possible to enrich acting with fairness and probity? Hypothesis: The Moral Sentiments by Adam Smith have foundations in establishing social relationships right and fair, and the individual self-interest is calibrated by the interest of preserving the species itself and the contractual arrangements Brazil is also based on these ideas. The methodology favored the literature and historical analysis, through hypothetical-deductive method of construction of conjectures and eliminate errors. Conclusion: It is possible to contract being ethical and fair, profiting individually and socially enriching, through the process proposed by the sympathetic Smithian moral.
Este estudo tem como objetivo investigar a filosofia de Adam Smith, fundada nos sentimentos, no qual a participação na situação alheia gera uma reciprocidade de sensações e emoções, que servem de subsídio para o estabelecimento da valoração moral. Uma moralidade construída a partir de juízos de fato sintéticos a posteriori , que geram raciocínios causais e fáticos das percepções do próximo. Uma prática reflexiva, ética e pedagógica. Perceber-se-á que as ideias filosóficas e morais de Adam Smith não foram devidamente difundidas, sendo que uma visão parcelar de suas obras obnubilaram o verdadeiro conhecimento de seu gênio. A par disso, perquirir-se-ão quais são os fundamentos morais das obrigações contratuais e econômicas, com base num movimento de reconciliação entre ética e economia. Por conseguinte, contextualizar-se-ão todas essas invenções com a principiologia contratual do Código Civil brasileiro, transformada com a inclusão de cláusulas gerais (função social, boa-fé e confiança), que exigem do hermeneuta rigor e criatividade no preenchimento e definição de seus sentidos. Problematização: A filosofia moral de Adam Smith tem por base a utilidade e o auto-interesse? Ou esse auto-interesse é socialmente e moralmente condicionado? É possível estabelecer relações negociais sendo ético, ou seja, é possível enriquecer agindo com lealdade e probidade? Hipótese: Os sentimentos morais de Adam Smith têm alicerces no estabelecimento de relações sociais corretas e justas, sendo que o auto-interesse individual é calibrado pelo interesse da preservação da própria espécie e o regime contratual brasileiro também se fundamenta nessas ideias. A metodologia privilegiou a pesquisa bibliográfica e a análise histórica, através do método hipotético-dedutivo de construção de conjecturas e eliminação de erros. Conclusão: É possível contratar sendo ético e leal, lucrando individualmente e enriquecendo socialmente, através do processo simpatético proposto pela moral smithiana.

Full textTheorists of the sublime have struggled to make the category coherent because they have collapsed its causes, the experience of the event itself, its subsequent effects on a subject, the symptomatic appearance of those effects in written texts, and the effects such texts have on a readership or audience, all into one concept: "the sublime." However, by slowing down the sublime event, parsing out its stages temporally, and drawing out their distinctive qualities, we not only can make some parts of the total sublime experience effable and coherent, but also we can discover meaning and significance in texts, such as strange or difficult poems, that may otherwise seem to be incomprehensible, irrational, or irresponsible uses of language. In turn, because such sublime texts refer both to experiences and to the subject that has them, such readings invite expanded understandings of human being (noun) and human being (gerund). This hypothesis is not new, but I complicate it by understanding human being through not one but at least three interrelated lenses: existential/experiential, biological/embodied, and social/civilizational. Therefore, to show adequately the sublime event's reputed "interruption of being", its continued relevance to the study of being, and what it reveals about human being, I analyze three types of poetries interested in these three aspects of human being.
In my introductory chapter, I critically review arguments made about the sublime in literary history, both canonical – such as Longinus's, Burke's, and Kant's – and more recent, such as Suzanne Guerlac's, Francis Ferguson's, and Neil Hertz's. I attend to the sublime's delineations as well as its rewards and risks. I differ, however, when I conclude that the cause is a perception that interrupts meaning-making and self-making cognitive processes. I clarify why the experience of the event is reputably private, contingent, and virtually ineffable. I argue that the sublime can only enter public discourse through the logic of symptom, of which poems can be examples. In other words, because poems are in and of language, they show a recovery from the sublime event, to which they can refer but which they cannot represent. I read Sappho's Ode and a section of Wordsworth's "Prelude" to demonstrate the effectiveness of reading poems in this way.
In each of the chapters that follow, I read both typical poems and sublime recovery poems, highlighting the qualities that make a sublime recovery poem recognizable within the context of its respective poet's work. Thereafter, I discuss the consequences of the meaning these poems make. In my analysis, I remain faithful to the terms the poet develops across his body of work.
I introduce the existential sublime event through Zagajewski's poetry. I build the contextual background that the sublime event interrupts through an overview of Zagajewski's more typical Dasein poems. Against this background, his sublime recovery poems emerge. They expand the meaning of human being (gerund) to include atemporal experiences – a virtual contradiction in terms considering that being happens in time and that time plays a strong role in Zagajewski's poetics. As a consequence, I argue, his sublime poems propose to the reader possible being that is non-ethical, asocial, and transcendent and that contrasts with Zagajewski's speaker's more usual ethical stance of praise. They also invite important questions about human consciousness that can reinvigorate our understanding of Dasein.
In chapter three, I examine the biological sublime, an interruption in Holub's organic, empirical context that typically acknowledges both failure and paradox in science, thought, and art. In response, poems act as intensive care for being by holding off the encroachment of non-being, which threatens in moments of failure or paradox. In "Transplantace Srdce," however, Holub's speaker adopts uncharacteristic language associated with sublime recovery and reaches unempirical, rational certainty about being's presence where non-being should be. This conclusion redefines the parameters of embodied being.
In chapter four, I begin with the civilizational sublime, to which Grossman's elaborate edifice of poetic theory and poems, on which he seeks to hang the value of persons, responds. The rupture in civilization is marked by Trinity, the first atomic explosion that entered social consciousness and ushered in the use of nuclear weapons and the ever-imminent threat to repeat sociability's utter failure. Grossman's search for a non-violent account of representation that protects sociability culminates in a collection of poems distinguished by their inclusion of others' speech, which I read as a poetics of courtesy that is not violent. Courtesy requires the simultaneous presence of both the speaker and the one who is offered a chance to speak; otherwise, it fails.
In the Coda, I discuss the relevance of my approach to other theories of the sublime, to the study of poetry, and to the philosophy of consciousness. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

Full textMusic appears to be an overlooked subject in recent monographs focusing on medieval Jewish sciences. Medieval Jewish scholars are indebted to Arab-Muslim scholars : the former received the philosophical method and the branches of knowledge that the latter conceived. However, music was part of the Arab philosophical education. For instance, it appears in classifications of sciences ; scholars compiled treatises on that matter. Judging by medieval Hebrew texts that have been handed down to us, Arabic texts that circulated have influenced the way Jewish scholars speak about music. The corpus of texts upon which this study is based is constituted of texts or excerpts that can be related to music. They all constitute what will be called « discourse on music ». These Hebrew texts all account for the influence of Judaeo-Spanish culture on Provençal Judaism between the 12th and the 15th centuries. Some of them are original texts ; others are translations or adaptations from texts originally written in Arabic or, to a lesser extent, in other romance languages. These texts are essentially pedagogical and belong to various textual types. The first aim of this study is to trace musical ideas and concepts that are found in Jewish texts ; the second aim is to determine the reasons why Jewish scholars rely upon musical ideas and concepts in texts that are not devoted to the subject. This thesis shall prove that music, a subject that Jewish scholars considered alternatively in a rational, psychological, or ethical way, turns out to be one of the medieval Jewish sciences, and one of the unifying principles of the various bodies of Jewish medieval knowledge

His political thought articulates with his ideas about political economy, which are marked by the systems of Smith and Quesnay. This synthesis of the political conceptions of the commercial society is reappraised by his pupils, who are, in the early nineteenth century, the principal contributors of the famous Edinburgh Review : Sydney SMith, Francis Jeffrey, Francis Horner, Henry Brougham and James Mill. They give a practical outcome to the Stewart's political project, because they urge to apply some moderate reforms issued from principles of political economy to the British constitution in order to adapt it to the transformations of the commercial society

Full textThis thesis examines the structure underlying Adam Smith’s work. It attempts to show that its coherence may be discerned as we let ourselves be guided by the idea that some of the author’s methodological principles are drawn from Newton. We wonder about the author’s explicit evocation of gravitation which is assumed to explain the way societies work. For social norms indeed, appear to be revolving round natural laws, just as market prices are, round natural prices or round the value of commodities. There also lies the implicit evocation of a force of attraction governing the destiny of human societies that would in time, tend towards an ideal City. Such a process would then be at the root of the need for the implementation and establishment of a specific institution of justice: the state. And Adam Smith would eventually emphasize the liberalism of liberty and justice

Full textThe purpose of this research is to discover the true meaning of the famous "invisible hand" of Adam Smith through human nature with particular emphasis on the role of human imagination. To inform the biggest myth in the history of the modern economy, we will refer to different concepts of the Scottish master as the philosophy, sympathy, impartial spectator, surprise, wonder, admiration or virtues. In this approach, it may be essential to emphasize the characteristics of man namely his love for coherent, regular, harmonious and simple systems, to improve his condition, his search for convenience, his desire to approval or his aversion for disapproval from others. The purpose of its various references is to prove an evident and intelligible consistency not only regarding to the uniqueness of the Smithian philosophy but also regarding to the true meaning of the invisible hand of the founding father of the modern economics

Full textThe issue of good consumption is no longer a concern for economics. The decision of the consumer, described in terms of instrumental rationality, is based on a relationship with commodities from which other people are excluded. Consumption consists of the exaltation of a will which is only subject to a budget constraint. I analyse three authors who did examine the influence of others on an individual’s choice while refusing to resume it by a social constraint as in traditional sociology. Rarely studied from this point of view, I show that Adam Smith, Gabriel Tarde and Thorstein Veblen devoted most of their work to the question of the formation of social interactions through consumption, and insisted on its influence in the construction of an individual. By studying their social theory, I try to identify what element in the relationship would protect the consumer from the risk of loss due to his illimitated desire

Full textThis work aims to contribute to the reconstruction and the study of classical Arab thought developed in the field of adab. Note that we say good classical Arabic thought developed in the field of adab, because we believe that if we want to know how the classical Arabic thought had tried to build an ethical and aesthetic vision is in space specific to the adab questions must be sought. This means that it is not in the so-called Islamic philosophy, or in the set up by Islamic moral system it would be possible to find old Arabic ethical vision as had tried to develop and express themselves. Indeed, While classical Arabic thought had and still has something original to bring to the mind and universal cultural thing would not be developed through the Islamic religion moral system, or through discussions by philosophers, but thanks to the ideas developed in the field of adab. Indeed, it is in and through the thought of the classical Arabic adab culture as truly present itself, that is to say, as it speaks to us through the elements that belong to it properly and intrinsically. For if, as is often said, poetry is the Diwān of the Arabs, that is to say, the archive of their traditions and their feelings, adab, he is both their wisdom, ethics and aesthetics

Full textThe political work of ferdinand lassalle, founder of the first german labour party, the adav, has been progressively overshadowed, with the making up of "marxism",- then definitely condemned, as the process of bolchevization went on. This conviction permitted to conceal the flaws and the contradictions of marx's political thought. On the contrary, lassalle built up a coherent and unitary theory of state, party and national identity. He impulsed a movement linked with this theory, in which the obtention of universal franchise and therefore democracy, became, for german workers, the way to socialism. Lassalle's elimination out of labour memory should be interpreteted as an elimination of democracy

Full textThe issue of knowing whether it is possible to find one or several principles able to limit the influence on society of economic thought, and associated behaviour, has often been raised by philosophy. To-day, the latter’s influence appears weakened by the development of modern liberal economic science, particularly in the English speaking world. The work of three of its representative thinkers, namely Adam Smith, John Rawls, and Amartya Sen, a prominent economist opened to philosophical issues raised by the first two, is scrutinized. Without any preconceived thought based on philosophical moral or religious considerations, this scrutiny is stimulated by the opening question. The progress of economic thought is reviewed in parallel, mainly in the English and American world where the influence of utilitarianism has been particularly strong. It is only when these inquiries have been completed that can be specified the main axis of a critique of economic thought: the limits of its anthropological basis tends to be occulted by its impressive mathematical developments

Full textBased on concrete examples from anti-Šu‘ūbiyya texts pulled from works of al-Ğāḥiẓ (d. 255/869) and Ibn Qutayba (d. 276/889), this thesis aims to demonstrate the pre eminence of the pre-Islamic period on the adab of the IIIe/IXe century. From a methodology which consists in a critical confrontation between these texts (especially the digitalized version of the texts), our point is to fuel the hypothesis of an adorned representation of pre-Islamic Arabia : This image produced a very important part of identical symbols of the Arab-Muslim culture, based on a mythical past in which all the Muslims without prejudice to their ancestries can find themselves."Myth" meaning the narratives of the origins created to explain data of the reality by registering them in a transcent and supernatural dimension, the symbolism of the adab places the essence of the values it is based on in the inheritance of the former Arabs. Trying to explain the world, the udabā’ made of the ğāhiliyya the source of the virtues and the cradle of the purest Arabic language. They devised new common genealogies to put forward the knowledge of the pre-Islamic Arabic traditions. Our two authors stand out the birth of the Arab-Muslim civilization in timeless narratives and in breach with the present time. Thus the non-Arabic Muslims can not refer anymore to their "historical" past and to take rather roots in a past which supports a common culture registered in a not historical time. Only this kind of blank culture, invented by our two authors, could allow the absolute beginning. Consequently, the markers of the supposed superiority could be shaken by the "anti-Šu‘ūbiyya effect" since the ethnical origin or the historical reality are not the only sense of the existence anymore

The crucial purposes of this thesis have two folds. Firstly, I will reconstruct Adam Smith’s (5 June 1723-17 July 1790) thought through re-conceptualising the doctrine of the human nature in his theory. In doing this, I will give you reasons that the so-called ‘Das Adam Smith Problem’ is founding on the wrong problematic concern in interpreting Smith’s doctrine. The bulk of ‘the problem’, having raised from the incessant controversy about whether Smith’s theory is a coherent system built upon either sympathetic-based or interested-based foundation, but, as my kernel problematic concern in this thesis, I will argue that, neither side alone captures comprehensively about Smith’s own understanding of human nature. Through presenting Smith’s conception of the development of our moral judgement and his construction of operational principal of our market bahaviour, his doctrine of man should be orientated towards our intellectual capacity, especially on how do human cultivate their own moral judgement and the proper way of mutual understanding in everyday life. To accentuate the development of our capacity of judgement or reflection is the way I argue to understand Smith’s conception of man correctly. Secondly, another controversy about Smith’s doctrine lies on the contradiction among the concepts of ‘propriety’ and ‘virtue’ in his moral philosophy, while the former is the general standard attainable by the majority, and the latter with the stricter normative standard only a few men can achieve. My argument is, if man’s intellectual capacity, such as judgement and reflection, having been regarded as essential concepts that Smith used to supersede the deficiency of one-sided understanding of human, then, his conception of impartial spectator and spectatorship’s approach also gives the priority to cultivate our moral judgement and our capacity of reflection. Smith’s primary concern, if I conceive it rightly, is to inspire our moral potential through disclosing the general principle lies behind our moral learning which terminated in the judgement made by impartial spectator, further, the concept of impartial spectator is also a linkage of different normative standards prescribed by propriety or virtue. Finally, In the conclusion part, I will connect my argument about moral potential with Smith’s conception of human nature which tries to prove that, as the practical moralist, who considered man as intellectual animals that who deserves this privileged claim when who urges himself in enlarging and improving his own mentality.

Full textIf Plato often criticized theater and literature, faulting poets of “implanting an evil constitution in the soul of man”, theater dons, nonetheless, a new philosophical dimension in the 19th century. At a time of boulevard comedy and of “well-made play”, a theater of ideas begins to emerge. Villiers de l’Isle-Adam is a precursor of this new theater thanks to his play Axël, who quickly became the template of symbolist theater. In this thesis, we will study the philosophical features of this play, published posthumously in 1891, and the dramaturgical methods employed by the author to give a new life to this literary genre, which he himself considered as dying. In this work, we will find fragments and references to the idealist theories by Hegel and Schopenhauer, which Villiers used in his play to illustrate his personal philosophy: Illusionism. We will study the ways in which Villiers, by renewing the classical techniques of play writing, brings in the dialogues the new life necessary to “make of an abstract philosophy a tangible play”. Finally, this thesis, has a propensity to verify the hypothesis of Camille Dumoulié, exposed in his essay Littérature et Philosophie, which argues that literature is the idea of philosophy.
