Culture et christianisme
Dufour Xavier - Collection Catechese orthodoxe
Résumé
--
The true heart of culture is the conflict of the inner man with himself. As it attempts to penetrate the mystery of man, culture is never neutral. There is no more neutrality in one of Voltaire's texts than in a page by Pascal or in a film than a scientific theory. The terrain of Western culture, Christianity remains the patent or latent element to which thinkers invariably refer: whether they be atheists, agnostics or Catholics. This book is about the general knowledge we expect from any French high school student: literary, musical, architectural, pictorial, cinematographic or scientific. This non-exhaustive panorama retraces the spiritual aspirations of a certain number of thinkers and artists: - Tome 1 studies the founding writers (from Pascal to Solzhenitsyn, taking in Rousseau, Péguy, Camus, etc.). In the second part, it explores the Bible seen as a literary work in its own right, with its codes, literary genres and specific genius - Tome 2, richly illustrated, is in four parts (architecture, painting music cinema natural science and human science). It shows how the question of God has nourished Western civilisation, inspired masterpieces, opened great scientific debates. Consequently this tome is a journey into our cultural history, with Brassens as much as Darwin, Pasolini or Matisse, Messiaen or René Girard... After the Debray report, it would appear that general knowledge in schools today is lacking when it comes to Christian cultural references. This book, written with meticulous care by teachers, will remedy that lack in the educational milieu.
