What are the representations and stakes of philosophy and fiction, their exchanges, interactions, and deliminations from Late Antiquity to the Renaissance? Though fiction can appear as the reverse of truth, it is no less a form of search for truth, knowledge, or wisdomAugustine or Boethius, the Latin allegorical poems of the twelfth century, the encyclopedias of the thirteenth century, followed by allegorical works written in the court of Charles V and Charles VI all problematize the status of fiction: what is its philosophical legitimation? What are the relations between philosophy and liberal arts, philosophy and poetics, philosophy and theology?
Quels etaient les representations et enjeux de la philosophie et de la fiction, leurs echanges, interactions et zones frontieres de l’Antiquite tardive jusqu’a la Renaissance ? La fiction peut apparaitre comme l’envers de la verite. Elle n’en est pas moins une forme de recherche de verite, savoir ou sagesse : Augustin, Macrobe, Martianus Capella ou Boece, puis les poemes allegoriques latins du XIIe siecle, les encyclopedies du XIIIe siecle, suivies par des oeuvres allegoriques ecrites dans le milieu de la cour de Charles V et Charles VI ou encore par Ficin problematisent le statut de la fiction : quelle est sa legitimation philosophique ? Quels sont les rapports entre philosophie et arts liberaux, philosophie et poetique, philosophie et theologie ? Les contributions interrogent le lexique et l’arriere-plan philosophique. Elles examinent aussi les moyens de la fiction pour mettre en oeuvre un projet hermeneutique et heuristique fecond : la personnification, la prosopopee, les modeles narratifs (banquet ou voie) ou le cadre dialogique.
