Synopsis
Contributing Authors

Les croyances et les pratiques shi’ites restent encore peu connues. D’abord, parce que les etudes scientifiques du shi’isme, dans leur grande majorite, sont tres recentes. Il y a ensuite les aleas de l’Histoire – et les rivalites ideologiques qui en resultent – dont une des consequences majeures a ete, a l’interieur meme du shi’isme, l’ostracisme applique aux pensees deviantes et la censure des textes juges problematiques. Enfin, la religion shi’ite elle-meme, se definissant dans ses sources de base comme une doctrine fondamentalement esoterique et initiatique, ne se revele pas toujours facilement. Rien de plus normal dans ces conditions qu’une partie de l’enseignement religieux, sans doute celle jugee la plus essentielle, soit protegee par les regles qui regissent tout esoterisme. Ces multiples raisons, extrinseques aussi bien qu’intrinseques au shi’isme, font de celui-ci une religion discrete et meconnue. Le present ouvrage examine quelques aspects peu explores de l’histoire et de la spiritualite shi’ite dans toute leur complexite. Dans la diversite de leurs manifestations, croyances et pratiques trouvent consistance et coherence dans l’am-bivalence de la figure de l’Imam, point de depart et aboutissement de la foi, dans le role determinant de la connaissance et de l’initiation, dans le dualisme ontologique et anthropologique.
