Résumé
--
He was born in Padua in 1707 and died in Saint-Jean-d'Acre in 1746 Moshe Hayyim Luzzatto is one of the most important representatives of post-Maimonidian Judaism. He is also one of the most controversial. Some consider him to be a brilliant Kabbalist, others an adept of the false messiah, Shabbetai Tsevi. Though he was persecuted during his lifetime, he was hailed after his death by currents as different as the Jewish Enlightenment, Hassidism and its opponents, Mitnagdim. His personality and his work are characterised by ambiguity. Initiated at a very young age to literature, he became the leader of a messianic circle devoted to the advent of redemption. With a double heritage of Jewish philosophy and the kabbalah, he is at the same time a kabbalist, a logician, a rhetorician, a playwright, a poet and a moralist. Combining disciplines often judged to be unrelated, Luzzatto invites us to put into question the hasty oppositions between rationalism and irrationalism, philosophy and mysticism. In this work, the reader will find a monograph of Luzzatto's work, with particular stress on its philosophical aspects (his rhetoric and his logic) and his kabbalistic thought. The analysis of the relation Luzzatto established between the kabbalah and philosophy is organised around central themes: the theory of knowledge, the doctrine of the divine, ethics, the philosophy of history and messianism. Created more than three centuries ago, Luzzatto's work remains relevant at a time when the kabbalah is at last being recognised as an essential component of thought derived from Jewish sources.
