Description :

This book, at the crossroads of philosophy and literature, is centered, through the analysis of the works of Nietzsche, Baudelaire, Wilde and Kierkegaard, on what the author calls “an aesthetics of the soul and the body”. This is a thesis that goes against Platonic dualism as well as Cartesian rationalism to be situated on the borders of Epicurean hedonism and Stoic asceticism. This is what the author calls, in agreement with Oscar Wilde in his De profundis and Sartre in his Baudelaire, the “spiritualization of the body” and the “materialization of the soul”.
