- Abstract:
Father François Garasse remains a jesuit writer of the first seventeenth century quite known and little studied, despite its abundant controversy production, published between 1614 and 1626.His work is deemed illegible, by the values it defends and the violence it deploys, by its length and lack of consistency, by its style, finally. However, works on libertinism led to interest in the figure of the libertine as he draws it in his Doctrine curieuse . Such studies invite to reconsider Father Garasse, which appears as the jesuit polemicist most read and most famous between 1617 and 1626, and as a successful preacher. His work, however, has not been studied yet in a whole. Father Garasse, who participates in all the quarrels of his time, is the subject to intermittent, piecemeal analysis. This project aims to reverse perspectives, focusing father Garasse, not in terms of libertinism or nascent Jansenism, but from his angle : Catholic Reformation and its fighting, Society of Jesus and its interests. His polemical work will be considered as a whole and for herself, in a double point of view, philosophical, theological and moral on one hand, and literary on the other hand; the aim is to establish if there is a thought of Father Garasse, and to identify the ways in which it is stated. The link between his work, essentially polemical, and other works of his time will also be considered, whether adversarial or affiliation. This project aims to put into perspective the work of Father Garasse, to replace it in the polemic and rhetoric context of his time, in order to better identify his literary and philosophical aspect.
