Autorite Et Alienation: Essai Sur La Connaissance de Soi

Professor of Philosophy Richard Moran (Harvard University)

English summary: Philosophy traditionally has seen self-knowledge in terms of a subject making himself the object of his own understanding. Richard Moran proposes to rethink this from the perspective of a persons responsibility in regards to his own attitudes and the authoritative agency of his own actions. Moran shows how alienation, understood as a kind of self-strangeness, delimits as much as authority the outlines of self-knowledge. French description: Traditionnellement, la philosophie a pense la connaissance de soi sur le mode problematique d'un sujet faisant de lui-meme son propre objet de connaissance. Constatant l'impasse ou mene cette approche contemplative de la connaissance de soi, Richard Moran propose de la repenser a partir de la responsabilite de la personne vis-a-vis de ses propres attitudes et de l'autorite de l'agent sur ses propres actions. En abordant la connaissance de soi sous l'angle d'une psychologie morale, Autorite et alienation la renouvelle en profondeur en mettant en evidence non seulement l'autorite de la premiere personne, mais aussi ses defaillances et ses limites. Je peux me tromper sur mon compte. Faisant dialoguer la philosophie analytique et la philosophie continentale, de Wittgenstein a Sartre, Richard Moran montre que l'alienation, comprise comme une forme d'etrangete a soi (a ce qui, de nous, nous echappe), delimite, autant que l'autorite, les contours de la connaissance de soi.
