520 | |a This essay argues for a particular purpose in the section of the Dialogue during which Anthony argues to Vincent that the world is, properly understood, a prison. Anthony, in the vein of Socrates, challenges Vincent by presenting questions and arguments - sometimes even deliberately simplified arguments -that force Vincent into a deeper engagement with the relevant issues, and hence to an improved clarity. Specifically, Anthony Socratically pushes Vincent better to appreciate the enormous gulfs between human and divine perspectives on the relevant issues. By realizing the limits of his own human-centered assumptions, Vincent is able to deepen and elevate his understanding of the points at hand. It is by means of this new orientation that Vincent is able to find peace, a victory over his passions, as is implied by the Latin word for "conquer" embedded in his name. | ||
520 | |a Cet essai met en évidence l'objectif particulier qui existe dans la section du Dialogue au cours de laquelle Antoine soutient à Vincent que le monde est, correctement compris, une prison. Antoine, dans la lignée de Socrate, défie Vincent en présentant des questions et des arguments - parfois même des arguments délibérément simplifiés - qui forcent Vincent à s'engager plus profondément dans les questions pertinentes, et donc à une plus grande clarté. En particulier, Antoine pousse Vincent, socratiquement, à mieux apprécier les gouffres énormes qui existent entre les perspectives humaines et divines sur les questions importantes. En réalisant les limites de ses propres hypothèses centrées sur l'homme, Vincent est capable d'approfondir et d'élever sa compréhension des points discutés. C'est grâce à cette nouvelle orientation que Vincent peut trouver la paix, une victoire sur ses passions, comme suggère le mot latin "vaincre" inscrit dans son nom. | ||
