This book conducts an interdisciplinary investigation into the multiple uses of the term libertin amongst authors at the beginning of the modern period. In doing so, it reveals the diverse uses of the word, and the way in which its function as an insult shifts: at times used to stigmatise and at others to assert an identity or as self-protection.

Review - French Comment definir le libertin aux XVIet XVIIsiecles, sinon a partir des usages reels de ce terme synonyme de condamnation morale, theologique ou philosophique ? Ce livre participe a l'etude du libertinisme a travers ses figures majeures, qu'il s'agisse de ceux qui userent de cette invective pour stigmatiser l'heterodoxie d'un adversaire (Calvin, Marnix, Pascal, Leibniz...), de ceux qui la subirent (Bruno, Descartes, Spinoza...) et parfois voulurent s'en defendre, de ceux qui semblaient, aux yeux de tous, en synthetiser toutes les facettes (Vanini, Naude...), ou de ceux qui, c'est une originalite du livre de les evoquer, se revendiquerent comme tels. L'analyse des multiples usages de ce mot sulfureux permet d'aborder l'epoque moderne sous l'angle specifique de l'invective.
