L'acédie, le vice de forme du christianisme
Luciani-Zidane Lucrece - Collection Sciences humaines et religions
Résumé
--
Acedia? To start with, what does it mean - this word which is almost unknown to the general public and absent from standard language and its dictionaries? Well, everything and anything in its stubborn confusion with such phenomena as sadness, laziness, melancholy and even... depression, it covers domains as distinct as theology, philosophy, literature and psychology. To all that we must add its amazing plethora of effects on the temptation of the meridian demon in the scorching deserts of primitive Christianity: stupefaction, sorrow, 'taedium vitae', despair, hatred, disgust, prostration, decay, etc., taken at face value or otherwise, throughout successive ages. First of all 'Akedia', stigmatised with horror and countless fears as the 'absolute worst' of bad thoughts ('logismoi'). Then 'Acedia' in the 5th century, when Augustine and his concupiscence allowed it, through Cassian, Gregory the Great and the Doctors of the Medieval Church, to secrete itself in man's interiority and the blind spot of Western culture, beyond the death of God. Finally, acedia, no more than an insipid translation, unless we ask ourselves what it is the tenacious remains of (in Ennui, in the destructive 'hainamoration' of our neurosis), in other words: what is its 'Thing'?
