Abstract

Comment transmettre et diffuser les vérités révélées sans recourir à une imagination poétique ou artistique, suspecte de rabattre l'homme vers les séductions terrestres et de le gonfler d'orgueil? La solution fournie par Jean - François Pic de la Mirándole à ce problème dans son De Imaginatione consacre l'émergence d'une fonction nouvelle de l'imagination, que l'on verra reprise et développée dans les grands textes apologétiques du XVIIe siècle. How can one pass on and spread revealed truths without resort to a poetic or artistic imagination, suspect of humbling man towards terrestrial seductions, hence inflating him with pride? The solution offered by Giovanni Francesco Pico della Mirándola to this problem in his De Imaginatione sanctions the surge of a new function of imagination which will be seen caught up again and developed in the great apologetic texts of the XVIIth century.
