Description

Entre l'expérience de la "distension de l'âme" par le temps, telle qu'Augustin l'a décrite au livre XI des Confessions, et le travail de composition de l'intrigue, en lui-même achronique, tel qu'il est décrit par Aristote dans sa Poétique, il y a contraste. Or, c'est pourtant à l'intérieur de ce contraste que se trouve nécessairement placée toute figuration, et finalement toute pensée, du temps. Telle est la thèse maîtresse de cet ouvrage. En bref, le temps humain est un temps raconté.Paul Ricoeur montre d'abord que le récit comporte trois rapports mimétiques : au temps agi et vécu, à la mise en intrigue, au temps de la lecture.La première mise à l'épreuve de ce schéma devait être faite sur l'histoire : c'est qu'aujourd'hui elle se présente, qu'il s'agisse de la recherche d'"explications" ou de l'histoire "non événementielle" comme très éloignée du récit. Au terme d'une analyse fouillée des épistémologies de l'histoire, il apparaîtra que celle-ci reste, malgré tout, dans la mouvance du récit, fondée sur une quasi-intrigue.Un second tome traitera du récit de fiction, depuis l'épopée jusqu'au roman moderne. Et conclura par une étude du temps raconté, démontrant comment le mode historique et le mode fictif du récit s'y recroisent. Au terme de l'entreprise, c'est la poétique du récit qui sera en mesure de répondre aux apories contre lesquelles avait buté la phénoménologie de l'expérience du temps.

I was completely blown away. The author orchestrated a breathtaking finale. Truly a work of art. A true literary gem.
