Evhémérisme et origine des religions chez le “Theophrastus redivivus”
No full textL’article analyse le thème de l’évhémérisme chez le “Theophrastus redivivus”, le traité clandestin et anonyme écrit en 1659. Bien que l’on ne trouve qu’une seule référence dans ce manuscrit au nom d’Évhémère, l’évhémérisme en tant qu’explication rationnelle des origines des religions remontant à la divinisation des héros ou des rois, garde une place centrale. Ce sujet est développé dans le premier traité (“Qui est de diis”, I, ii). L’évhémérisme joue un rôle très important dans la conception d’une “histoire naturelle” des religions développée dans le “Theophrastus redivivus”. L’idée d’une origine humaine – naturelle et psychologique – des mythes et des cultes religieux apporte un nouvel élan à la théorie politique de l’imposture des religions qui est au cœur de ce texte. The article examines the issue of euhemerism in the clandestine and anonymous manuscript “Theophrastus redivivus” (1659). Although Euhemerus is mentioned only once, the euhemerism, as the theory of the origin of religions connected with deification of heroes and kings, runs through the text, particularly in the first treatise (“Qui est de diis”, I, ii). In the context of the “natural history” of religions outlined by the “Theophrastus redivivus, the euhemerism assumes an important meaning. In order to assert the human origin – natural and psychological – of myths and religious cults, the euhemerism contributes to the theories of the political foundation of religions and of the imposture of religions, emerging as central topics in this text
