Le primitif et le mystique chez Lévy-Bruhl, Bergson et Bataille. (7563 words)
Dans ce dispositif, l?irrationnel est à la fois ce qui précède la raison, qu?elle peut donc retrouver et traduire par ses procédures propres, et ce qui vient la défier et la questionner, la privant ainsi de tous ses moyens établis.
La notion de mystique est donc un fil directeur de l??uvre de Lévy-Bruhl, même si son sens se déplace au fur et à mesure que cette ?uvre, qui s?étale sur une cinquantaine d?années, se modifie au fil des objections internes et externes.
La démarche de Lévy-Bruhl, qui rendait normal le phénomène pathologique en le socialisant, est donc ici radicalement contournée : c?est au contraire en individualisant le mysticisme qu?on en fait un phénomène normal, ou plutôt supra-normal.
