Example text
Car la quête de l’identité à laquelle se livrent Utpaladeva et Abhinavagupta n’a pas pour seule fin de savoir ; il s’agit bien plutôt d’obtenir un savoir lui-même subordonné à une fin pratique ultime, puisque ce savoir doit permettre à qui s’en empare d’échapper à la souffrance et à la mort. D’autre part, la doctrine que la Pratyabhijñā développe, loin d’être une création parfaitement indépendante de tout dogme, est à bien des égards un prolongement des principes métaphysiques déjà contenus dans les āgama du śivaïsme non dualiste ; de ce point de vue, il n’est pas indifférent que le traité comporte une section entièrement consacrée aux Écritures, l’Āgamādhikāra.
31 Le lecteur trouvera mentionnés dans la Bibliographie certains des nombreux travaux portant sur cette controverse brahmanico-bouddhique du Soi (ou sur l’un quelconque de ses aspects). Il convient néanmoins de mentionner d’emblée la magistrale étude que C. Oetke a consacrée à l’ensemble de la question (Oetke 1988). Bien que portant sur des sujets plus restreints, Preisendanz 1994, Duerlinger 2003 et Watson 2006 n’en sont pas moins riches d’informations à cet égard. (Voir également Eltschinger & Ratié à paraître).
They prefer to label it as “philosophy”. As I shall attempt to show below, in my judgment the subject of the Pratyabhijñākārikās is simply and strictly God. In offering an organized exposition of the truth and meaning of God as revealed in the Śaiva scriptures Utpala’s thought is as much theology as any nonWestern system ». Que le sujet des ĪPK soit « simplement et strictement Dieu » n’implique cependant pas que la démarche des ĪPK soit théologique : il est des discours philosophiques sur Dieu ; et le traité d’Utpaladeva est bien plus qu’une exposition systématique des Écritures śivaïtes, précisément parce qu’il est organisé d’une manière telle que la pensée y progresse indépendamment de l’autorité de textes révélés (un trait que partagent d’ailleurs un certain nombre de « non-Western systems »).
