Sommario/riassunto |
|
En 524, Boèce, ministre du roi ostrogoth Théodoric, est incarcéré à Pavie sous l'inculpation de conspiration et de magie. Rude épreuve pour ce scientifique et philosophe, qui s'est donné pour tâche de transmettre à l'Occident chrétien les trésors de la pensée grecque. Accablé par ce revers de fortune, il rédige, en prison, son œuvre la plus connue, dans laquelle il se met en scène, dialoguant avec le personnage allégorique de Philosophie, qui le réconforte en lui démontrant combien sont vaines les valeurs mondaines, et enrichissante l'aspiration à l'élévation de l'âme par la sagesse. Cette Consolation de la Philosophie fut l'œuvre à succès du Moyen Âge. Elle fut traduite par Jean de Meun, l'auteur du Roman de la Rose, à l'extrême fin du xiiie siècle, puis remaniée et commentée à plusieurs reprises. C'est l'une de ces versions glosées que nous présentons à partir du manuscrit Leber 817 de la Bibliothèque Municipale de Rouen, manuscrit qui date de la fin du Moyen Âge. Ce manuscrit est un luxueux in-quarto superbement calligraphié et somptueusement illustré, dont les miniatures sont reproduites sur le CD-Rom qui accompagne cette édition commentée. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
If we want to understand the vicissitudes of modern democracy then, argues the author, we need to analyse the ideas upon which representative government is based rather than compare contemporary conditions with the Greek ideal. These principal ideas have been presented clearly in past centuries, when the relation between democracy and representation was still a matter of political judgement. The old masters of political thinking clarified the functions of representation: legitimising power, creating sovereignty but also setting its limits, and pursuing the common good while still reflecting social diversity. Because institutions of representation are expected to fulfil a variety of functions, these institutions have in recent times come under attack for standing in the way of radical programs for democratising democracy. The author of this book reminds us that |

these functions are necessary in every political order, whether democratic or not. Instead of rejecting representation, political theorists should focus on making government more accountable. |
