Quel rapport entre la « mimèsis » des Grecs et l'« imitatio Christi » ? Les deux relèvent de l’imitation qui est à la fois ce qu’il y a de plus commun et de plus spécifique. Cet ouvrage se propose d’étudier les variations de l’imitation, d’en tracer les différences et les convergences. Il présente la « mimèsis », puis l’imitation de Jésus-Christ, telles qu’elles se manifestent dans leur surgissement initial et dans leurs développements plus tardifs. Le fil est ainsi suivi de la « mimèsis » platonicienne, puis aristotélicienne, jusqu’à l’émergence de la « phantasia ». Il suit également le mouvement de l'« imitatio Christi » primitive, d’Ignace d’Antioche jusqu’en ses développements modernes chez François de Sales et Pascal. Il tente enfin de poursuivre l’étude de ses mutations en dehors du champ qui l’avait initialement constituée.

What is the relationship between Greek ‘mimesis’ and ‘imitatio Christi’? Both concern imitation, which happens to be as common as it is specific. This book sets out to study the varieties of imitation, tracing their differences and points of convergence. This book presents ‘mimesis’, then the imitation of Jesus Christ, as they appear in their initial emergence, as well as in their later developments, thus following the thread of Platonic, then Aristotelian ‘mimesis’, up to the emergence of ‘phantasia’. It then follows the primitive ‘imitatio Christi’ movement, from Ignatius of Antioch up to its modern developments with Francis de Sales and Pascal, and finally explores its mutations beyond its original field.
