Bossuet face à La Vallière : la topique de la vanité, entre enjeux religieux et enjeux politiques
Journal Title: Quêtes littéraires - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 8
Abstract
Bossuet versus La Vallière: the motives of vanity, between religious and political issues ABSTRACT: We will analyse the motives of vanity and of contempt of the world in Bossuet’s Carême du Louvre and Sermon pour la profession de La Vallière in both a topical and clearly enunciated perspective. The relationship between Louis XIV and La Vallière raises a religious and political issue: the motive of vanity is used by the preacher not only as a theological argument, but also as a political weapon. The motives of contempt of the world can’t do without the world itself: religious and political fields are constantly reflected on one other.
