Dom Deschamps and Diderot, dangerous political connections
Type de matériel :
TexteLangue : français Détails de publication : 2024.
Sujet(s) : Ressources en ligne : Abrégé : Dom Deschamps’s radical political theories aroused Diderot’s enthusiasm: a world in which there would no longer be mine and yours, in which there would no longer be magistrates, priests or, of course, the “Great Artisan” (God), made him jump for joy: “This is the world for which I was born!” The difficult question is the transition to the “state of morals”, the state where all men will be equal. Is this a “spontaneous” transition, by force of “metaphysical truth”? Or a “forced” transition, because men do not spontaneously give up the law of mine and yours? The scope of the two philosophies will be measured by what is at stake.

Dom Deschamps’s radical political theories aroused Diderot’s enthusiasm: a world in which there would no longer be mine and yours, in which there would no longer be magistrates, priests or, of course, the “Great Artisan” (God), made him jump for joy: “This is the world for which I was born!” The difficult question is the transition to the “state of morals”, the state where all men will be equal. Is this a “spontaneous” transition, by force of “metaphysical truth”? Or a “forced” transition, because men do not spontaneously give up the law of mine and yours?
