Review - French Parmi les figures les plus singulieres du decadentisme francais, Josephin Peladan (1858-1918) se distingue par l'eclectisme de ses preoccupations et par le syncretisme des divers savoirs qu'il mobilise. Il se met en scene dans son oeuvre, ou son double, le mage Merodack, est feru de science, de religion et d'esoterisme. Pour Peladan comme pour Merodack, la magie, comprise comme une activite redemptrice permettant d'echapper a l'uniformite des masses democratiques, est une pratique sublimatoire fortement elitiste. Son imaginaire et sa culture se diffusent au XXsiecle, de facon souvent inattendue, chez diverses ecrivains, artistes et penseurs de droite.
