Comment donc comprendre cette notion de \u00ab\u00a0self-love\u00a0\u00bb? Quel est la valeur morale de la passion et quel est son pouvoir sur nous?<\/p>\n<p>Dans son \u00e9tude sur l&rsquo;un des grands th\u00e8mes de la philosophie morale britannique, Christian Maurer\u00a0(<a href=\"https:\/\/www.unil.ch\/philo\/home.html\">Section de philosophie<\/a>) aborde de nombreux philosophes anglais et \u00e9cossais en les situant dans leur contexte philosophique, th\u00e9ologique et \u00e9conomique. Il fait dialoguer des auteurs c\u00e9l\u00e8bres avec des penseurs plus rarement \u00e9tudi\u00e9s, dont Lord Shaftesbury, Bernard Mandeville, Francis Hutcheson, Joseph Butler, Archibald Campbell, David Hume et Adam Smith.<\/p>\n<p>L\u2019auteur distingue cinq conceptions de \u00ab\u00a0self-love\u00a0\u00bb et d\u00e9crit leurs r\u00f4les dans diff\u00e9rentes th\u00e9ories de la nature humaine et de la morale. Il compare des arguments importants concernant l&rsquo; \u00ab\u00a0hypoth\u00e8se \u00e9go\u00efste\u00a0\u00bb \u2013 la th\u00e8se selon laquelle nous agissons toujours par amour de soi voire par amour-propre \u2013 et il montre la diversit\u00e9 des strat\u00e9gies utilis\u00e9es avant et pendant les Lumi\u00e8res pour r\u00e9habiliter moralement la nature humaine et ses passions.<\/p>\n<p>Christian Maurer, <a href=\"https:\/\/edinburghuniversitypress.com\/book-self-love-egoism-and-the-selfish-hypothesis.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>Self-love, Egoism and the Selfish Hypothesis : Key Debates from Eighteenth-Century British Moral Philosophy<\/em><\/a>, Edinburgh, Edinburgh University Press, 2019.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"su-column su-column-size-1-3\"><div class=\"su-column-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\"><img alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5766\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.unil.ch\/labelettres\/files\/2019\/04\/MAURER_Cover.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.unil.ch\/labelettres\/files\/2019\/04\/MAURER_Cover.jpg 500w, https:\/\/wp.unil.ch\/labelettres\/files\/2019\/04\/MAURER_Cover-435x653.jpg 435w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-default\" style=\"margin:15px 0;border-width:1px;border-color:#999999\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"watch-headline-title\">\n<h6><strong>TOUTES LES NOTICES DE<\/strong><\/h6>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/applicationspub.unil.ch\/interpub\/noauth\/php\/Un\/UnPers.php?PerNum=1186517&amp;LanCode=37\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Christian Maurer<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-posts su-posts-teaser-loop \">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div id=\"su-post-7621\" class=\"su-post \">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"su-post-thumbnail\" href=\"https:\/\/wp.unil.ch\/labelettres\/contexts-of-religious-tolerance-new-perspectives-from-early-modern-britain-and-beyond\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.unil.ch\/labelettres\/files\/2020\/04\/Copie-de-Copie-de-Couverture-LabeLettres-copie.jpg\" class=\"attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.unil.ch\/labelettres\/files\/2020\/04\/Copie-de-Copie-de-Couverture-LabeLettres-copie.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wp.unil.ch\/labelettres\/files\/2020\/04\/Copie-de-Copie-de-Couverture-LabeLettres-copie-435x680.jpg 435w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"su-post-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wp.unil.ch\/labelettres\/contexts-of-religious-tolerance-new-perspectives-from-early-modern-britain-and-beyond\/\">Contexts of Religious Tolerance: New Perspectives from Early Modern Britain and Beyond<\/a><\/h2>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div id=\"su-post-5764\" class=\"su-post \">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"su-post-thumbnail\" href=\"https:\/\/wp.unil.ch\/labelettres\/self-love-egoism-and-the-selfish-hypothesis-key-debates-from-eighteenth-century-british-moral-philosophy\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.unil.ch\/labelettres\/files\/2019\/04\/MAURER_Cover.jpg\" class=\"attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.unil.ch\/labelettres\/files\/2019\/04\/MAURER_Cover.jpg 500w, https:\/\/wp.unil.ch\/labelettres\/files\/2019\/04\/MAURER_Cover-435x653.jpg 435w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"su-post-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wp.unil.ch\/labelettres\/self-love-egoism-and-the-selfish-hypothesis-key-debates-from-eighteenth-century-british-moral-philosophy\/\">Self-love, Egoism and the Selfish Hypothesis: Key Debates from Eighteenth-Century British Moral Philosophy<\/a><\/h2>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-default\" style=\"margin:15px 0;border-width:1px;border-color:#999999\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Qu&rsquo;est-ce que l\u2019amour-propre?
