Summary:
Peu d'études se sont attardées sur la dimension matérialiste de la pensée de J-J. Rousseau. si ce n'est que pour s'en tenir largement à l'analyse de Marcel Raymond qui voyait dans le philosophe genevois un continuateur de l'empirisme lockien. Or, l'oeuvre de Rousseau, en particulier dans sa forme autobiographique et théorique, s'appuie continuellement sur le matérialisme ambiant de son époque. La matérialisme rousseauiste constitue même la clé permettant d'éclairer la relation complexe que le citoyen de Genève entretient avec ses contemporains philosophes, oscillant entre un attachement certain au passé et un regard profondément visionnaire sur l'homme et la société. À travers "le matérialisme du sage", cette formule tirée des Confessions qui illumine si bien sa pensée, Rousseau accommode tout le poids de la tradition - histoire, religion, politique - avec le renouveau philosophique des Lumières. Le matérialisme n'implique pas une fatalité; il est plutôt un savoir qu'il entend exploiter afin de trouver un semblant de stabilité et de bien-être au sein d'un monde sujet au perpétuel changement. Toute l'audace de sa pensée est d'avoir fait de la réalité tragique du matérialisme la condition de possibilité de toute liberté réelle, et du bonheur qu'il espère voir l'homme en tirer.. -- Provided by publisher.
Few studies have focused on the materialist dimension of J-J. Rousseau's thought, except to adhere largely to the analysis of Marcel Raymond, who saw in the Genevan philosopher a continuator of Lockian empiricism. However, Rousseau's work, particularly in its autobiographical and theoretical form, relies heavily on the ambient materialism of his time. This materialism in Rousseau is indeed key to understanding the complex relationship that the citizen of Geneva had with his contemporary philosophers, alternating between a marked attachment to the past and a deeply visionary view of man and society.Through "le matérialisme du sage", an expression drawn from the Confessions which illuminates his thought so well, Rousseau accommodates the full weight of tradition - history, religion, politics - with the philosophical renewal of the Enlightenment. Materialism is not an inevitability, but constitutes a form of knowledge which he intends to harness in order to find a semblance of stability and well-being in a world subject to perpetual change. The boldness of his thought is to have made the tragic reality of materialism the very condition of true freedom, and of the happiness he hopes mankind can draw from it.
