Review - French En matiere philosophique ou theologique, l'anecdote n'a a priori aucune valeur : quand on vise la verite, quel credit accorder a la contingence des faits ? Les anecdotes sont pourtant assez repandues dans la litterature philosophique ou theologique, ou elles ouvrent - de facon explicite ou latente - sur un message de sagesse qu'elles transmettent, alterent ou refutent. Les contributions ici reunies entendent explorer les formes et les usages de ces anecdotes de l'Antiquite aux Lumieres, en mettant en relief leur portee theorique, pour montrer que ces recits suscitent une activite hermeneutique dont les visees ne sont pas seulement doctrinales mais aussi polemiques, satiriques, apologetiques, voire historiographiques.
