Excerpt from Samuel Butler: Conf???rence Faite le 3 Novembre 1920 ??? la Maison des Amis des Livres Personne, ??? ma connaissance, ne s'est encore avis??? de faire ce rapprochement du philosophe grec et de l'humoriste anglais, et sans doute Samuel Butler en aurait ???t??? surpris, car il ne doit certainement rien, directement, a Epicure. Mais au cours de mon travail de traduction, j'ai ???t??? souvent frapp??? de certaines ressemblances fortuites je me suis souvent dit que si Epicure avait v???cu de notre temps, ou s'il s'???tait r???incarn??? de nos jours, il aurait ???crit bien des choses que Samuel Butler a ???crites, et aurait enseign???presque tout ce que Samuel Butler enseigne; et je me suis souvent amus??? ??? imaginer que si on retrouvait les ouvrages d'???picure qui ne sont pas parvenus jusqu'??? nous, on y verrait beaucoup de passages qui nous para???traient extr???mement. Butl???riens. Cela nous surprendra moins si nous songeons a ce qu'a ???t???, depuis Bacon, la philosophie anglaise. Elle a ???t???, et elle' est, des quatre grandes traditions philosophiques modernes, celle qui se rapproche le plus de la philosophie ???picurienne elle est empirique, sensualiste et utilitaire, et ce que les philosophes anglais ont appel??? utilit??? ne diff???re pas beaucoup, essentiellement, de ce que les ???picur???istes appelaient plaisir Il est donc assez naturel que Samuel Butler, qui a continu??? la tradition anglaise, surtout comme moraliste, fasse plus d' une fois songer ??? Epicure, a un Epicure qui aurait v???cu de notre temps. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
