About This Item

Turnhout Brepols 2010. Paperback, 600 p., 150 x 235 mm. ISBN 9788884194237. Lux perpetua est le dernier ouvrage de Franz Cumont. Publie a titre posthume en 1949, il presente une synthese consacree aux idees des Romains de l'Empire relatives a la vie future et a l'au-dela. Ce livre montre comment, au fil des siecles, les Enfers se sont deplaces des entrailles de la terre, ou les placait la tradition litteraire grecque, vers le firmament du ciel, pour donner finalement naissance au theme de l'eschatologie celeste. L'ouvrage met en lumiere les deux tendances de la conception paienne de l'au-dela. La premiere, materialiste, illustree surtout par Virgile, est tributaire de l'orphisme-pythagorisme. La seconde, empreinte de spiritualite mystique, remonte a Platon. C'est a cette theorie qu'adherent la plupart des philosophes romains, mais aussi bon nombre d'auteurs chretiens. Cette nouvelle edition, enrichie d'une introduction historiographique, fait renaitre ce classique devenu aujourd'hui introuvable, mais qui reste, soixante ans apres, une reference. Languages: French.
