About the Book

English summary: This general presentation of Petrarch offers not only a coherent vision of his life and works, but combines two visions of him that have often been seen as conflicting: one as the father of Humanism, the other of a poet concentrating on his own amorous pains. The author demonstrates that Petrarch's genius shines through in both of these facets that in fact complemented each other. Petrarch ushered Europe into modernity and also revolutionized the lyrical experience for centuries to come. Understanding both of these at once is the key to understanding Petrarch's unique and essential place in the Renaissance and creation of Early Modern Europe. French description: Cette presentation generale de Petrarque veut avant tout donner un tableau simple et coherent de sa vie et de ses oeuvres, mais elle est aussi animee par l'ambition de mettre fin a une vieille position schizophrenique: celle qui reconnait en Petrarque le plus grand intellectuel de son temps et le pere de l'humanisme europeen, et qui en meme temps renie tout cela et le limite a l'activite d'un poete concentre exclusivement sur son experience amoureuse et sur les tourments d'un etre faible, egoiste et vaniteux. Cet essai contribue a corriger cette image fausse en montrant que le grand intellectuel n'est pas different du grand poete. La pensee de Petrarque a non seulement, plus que toute autre, ouvert la voie a la modernite, mais elle a nourri en profondeur sa poesie; d'autre part sa sensibilite et sa minutieuse experience des sentiments ont donne aux themes de sa pensee, et disons meme a sa philosophie, une vibration et une verite tout a fait neuves. Petrarque a jete les fondements d'un sentiment du temps destine a revolutionner, pendant les siecles suivants, toute l'experience lyrique europeenne; il a lutte longuement contre la philosophie scolastique, imposant le culte de Platon a la place de celui d'Aristote et substituant a saint Thomas le modele de saint Augustin; il a reaffirme la primaute de l'ethique et a elabore une notion de la philosophie comme mode de vie, anticipant en quelque sorte l'enseignement de Pierre Hadot; il a concu une idee de l'individu comme temoin de sa propre histoire, et de son droit au bonheur qui en soi ne coincide pas du tout avec le developpement des connaissance scientifiques et n'est pas garanti par le pouvoir politique, etc. Sa connaissance du monde antique et son activite philologique ne definissent pas un champ d'erudition qui a en lui-meme sa propre fin, mais font partie d'une oeuvre civilisatrice que l'Europe reclamait et pour laquelle elle etait mure: il a ete le seul a le comprendre et donc a pouvoir repondre aux profondes tensions de son epoque. Il a ete, en outre, un precurseur de genie la meme ou n'arrivaient pas ses connaissances: comme les hommes de son temps, il ignorait le grec mais a tout mise sur Platon et a gagne ce grand pari; il a ete le premier a vouloir a tout prix faire traduire Homere, que tout le monde pretendait admirer comme le roi des poetes mais que personne ne se souciait de lire. Et la liste est encore longue.
