Résumé
This book offers a comprehensive exploration of the Jansenist movement, its theological foundations, and its lasting impact on philosophy, theology, and intellectual thought. Centered on the teachings of Cornelius Jansen and inspired by the Augustinian doctrine of grace, the book examines the central tenets of Jansenism: the radical dependence of humanity on divine grace, the total depravity of human nature, and the rejection of human free will in matters of salvation.
It traces the development of the movement from its intellectual and spiritual roots in 17th-century France, through its theological conflict with the Jesuits, to its eventual suppression by the Catholic Church. Focusing on key figures such as Blaise Pascal, the book also delves into the philosophical and existential implications of Jansenism, showing how its themes of suffering, grace, and human frailty influenced later philosophical movements, particularly existentialism and Christian thought.
By analyzing primary sources like Pascal's Provincial Letters and Pensées, the book highlights the enduring legacy of Jansenism in modern thought, including its influence on existentialist philosophers like Søren Kierkegaard, its critiques of moral laxity, and its profound impact on debates about salvation, free will, and divine sovereignty. Through a detailed examination of Jansenism's theological conflicts, political ramifications, and intellectual legacy, this book offers a deep understanding of how a theological movement once considered heretical continues to shape religious and philosophical discourse today.
