| 520 | |a This essay engages the writings of Erasmus of Rotterdam on the prevalence and practices of deceit, yielding thereby an Erasmian complaint on behalf of truth. The works of Erasmus challenge us to face up to the diverse forms of deceit; to recognize the sundry tricks used by liars and frauds; and to calculate the damaging consequences of their subterfuge. Astutely fixed on the mendacity of tyrants and would-be tyrants, Erasmus proves to be a trenchant critic of such assaults on truth, exposing the manipulation of appearances and uncovering the twisted reversals of language, while subjecting the various perpetrators to criticism in a manner that cleverly banks on its own creative and beneficent dissemblance. Erasmus thereby offers an alternative model of truthfulness designed for the complexities of life in a culture of lie. | ||
| 520 | |a Cette étude examine les écrits d'Érasme de Rotterdam concernant la prévalence et les pratiques de tromperie, qui aboutit à cette plainte d'Érasme réclamant la vérité. Les œuvres d'Érasme nous mettent au défi de faire face aux diverses formes de tromperie, à reconnaître les astuces diverses utilisées par les menteurs et les fraudeurs et à calculer les conséquences néfastes de leur subterfuge. Utilisant astucieusement le mensonge de tyrans ou de tyrans potentiels, Érasme se révèle être un critique sévère de ces attaques contre la vérité, en dénonçant comment ils manipulent les apparences et comment ils détournent le langage, tout en soumettant ces différents auteurs à la critique d'une manière qui s'appuie habilement sur sa propre dissemblance créative et salutaire. Érasme offre ainsi un modèle alternatif de véracité conçu pour les complexités de la vie au sein d'une culture du mensonge. | ||
