Sauver la dignité humaine : Péguy entre le bergsonisme et le personnalisme

Abstract

The life of French intellectuals of the early 20th century was centered around Henri Bergson, a philosopher and École Normale Supérieure and Collège de France lecturer. Bergson's thought leads the way towards the metaphysical path and resisted 'the Sorbonnian historicism'; was an antidote to positivism, skepticism and scientific relativism. Charles Péguy, a thinker and poet, fiercely defended Bergson's lectures, writings and reflections. Certainly, Bergson must have awakened particular spiritual sensitivity in Péguy. Péguy's philosophical and poetic thought is situated between bergsonism and personalism. The elements of personalism and sensitivity to the value of human dignity can be observed in his poems and poetry. Péguy prefigured the new way of thinking. It was just after the poet's death when Jacques Maritain defined the notion of a person. Emmanuel Mounier, whose first book was devoted to Charles Péguy, became the founder of a philosophical movement, personalism. In this article, we are looking for the value of human dignity in Péguy's poem entitled Eve.
