Résumé
--
"Friends asked me to assemble some of the texts in which, to relax between more austere studies, I tried to create a link of friendship with the very soul - the open heart, heroic and tender - of the Ancients, Greek and Roman. Any Christian who dares to come into contact with the pagan soul must face double-edged criticism. Defenders of the Gospel will judge that you attribute too much virtue to Antique wisdom, those who reject it will complain that you don't attribute enough... No system could prevail over the example of Socrates, or Marcus Aurelius. Wherever I see such harmony between man and his destiny, without pride or illusion, I cannot help but admire it. But it remains that the Gospel is something quite different, and that we have the right to love what can be loved in men of Antiquity while remaining Christian." In these words, Father Festugière explains and presents this book, one of his first. It announces what follows, penetrated throughout by his reception of Antique man's religious experience, pagan or Christian. This is a new edition of the work, enriched by a some texts from the beginning and the end of Father Festugière's career, which reveal the permanence of his attitude all during his scholarly life. He was right in saying that the aim of his work was to be the "clear symbol of a friendship that wished to exclude nothing".
