Plutarque, Sur les delais de la justice divine
by Plutarque and edited by Yvonne Verniere, translated by Francoise Frazier
Premier dialogue probablement ou Plutarque se donne le role central, les Delais ont ete a la fois classes parmi les Ethica par les Anciens et consideres comme un des chefs-d’oeuvre de la pensee religieuse antique par les Modernes: signe de la richesse d’un texte ou le Platonicien et pretre de Delphes actualise la meditation sur la Justice de la Republique en l’inscrivant dans le cadre hellenistique de la Providence divine. S’appuyant sur la refutation des theses epicuriennes, il y developpe une reflexion beaucoup plus large ou collaborent et s’ajointent etroitement raison et foi , logos et mythos, arguments vraisemblables et images saisissantes, circonspection academicienne et confiance en la divinite transcendante qu’incarnent ici Apollon et sa pure lumiere, invisible jusque dans le mythe. Meme s’il tourne sa pensee vers cet au-dela metaphysique, essentiel, le philosophe n’en oublie pas pour autant le devoir de penser et de vivre ici-bas.
