Ernest Renan et l'Allemagne

Abstract: sérieuses sans doute, puisqu'elles nous reprochent notre légèreté, n'éprouvent quelque mécompte dans l'espérance qu'elles ont de gagner la faveur du monde par de tout autres procédés que ceux qui ont réussi jusqu'ici. Une science pédantesque en sa solitude, une littérature sans gaieté, une politique maussade, une haute société sans éclat, une noblesse sans esprit, des gentilshommes sans politesse, de grands capitaines sans mots sonores, ne détrôneront pas, je crois, de sitôt le souvenir de cette vieille sociét… Show more

“…Renan la toma como un punto de partida indudable. Pese a sus numerosas objeciones a los relatos evangélicos -a los que califica de "biografías legendarias" ([1863] 2003: 64)-, niega de plano la posibilidad de que Jesús sea un invento de los evangelistas: "Lejos de que Jesús haya sido creado por sus discípulos, Jesús se muestra en todo superior a sus discípulos, que […] eran hombres sin invención ni genio" (Renan [1863(Renan [ ] 2003. 27 Del mismo modo, su historicidad nunca es puesta en cuestión por Borges, y es afirmada en distintos momentos -cf.…”

“…En esta misma cita, podemos ver que el discurso "divino" de Jesús es considerado por Renan desde una perspectiva estética ("obras maestras"). El historiador se referirá en su obra al "alma lírica" del nazareno y a sus "aforismos concisos, de una forma expresiva, a veces enigmática y extravagante" (Renan [1863] 2003: 113-296) para señalar, tal como hemos visto en el caso de Borges, su tajante contraposición con la abstracción de las proposiciones teológicas: "Sería vano buscar en el Evangelio una proposición teológica. Todas las profesiones de fe son disfraces de la idea de Jesús" (Renan [1863] 2003: 296).…”

“…1:120). The Hegelian conception of a leader incarnating the spirit of his nation and of his time 3 was taken up again by different philosophers and historians during the first half of the nineteenth century, notably Victor Cousin (1991Cousin ( [1828), Edgar Quinet (1851 [1842]), Jules Michelet (1974 [1846]), Ralph Waldo Emerson (1886), Ernest Renan (1995Renan ( [1890), and sometimes even Thomas Carlyle (1993[1841), who constructed his own theory of genius. We also find it in some poets.…”

“…He was appalled at the way in which linguistics was conscripted to make such arguments, singling out for special opprobrium the United States, where "comparative philologists have been encouraged to prove the impossibility of a common origin of languages and races, in order to justify, by scientific arguments, the unhallowed theory of slavery. Never," he said, "do I remember to have seen science more degraded than on the title-page of an American publication in which, among the profiles of the different races of man, the profile of the ape was made to look more human than that of the negro" [3, vol.1 (12)]. He may have encountered another American publication, a popular book called Types of Mankind (1857) written by Josiah Nott (who, among his other accomplishments, translated Gobineau's Essay) and George Gliddon [9].…”

“…Decades of concentrated effort by the most learned and exacting scholars had "discovered" in Semitic languages a host of limitations and deficiencies that explained in scientific terms the particular role of Jews in history and accounted, as well, for the Jews' current position of isolation and inferiority. With these accomplishments behind them, scholars during the Third Reich felt they were on a firm foundation when they espoused what has been called "mother-tongue fascism," which must be considered the ultimate profanation of what was, in Müller's work, a mere suggestion made in the context of an argument about the unity of the human race [12].…”
