Le motif du baiser est, pour ainsi dire, un lieu commun de la litterature erotique de la Renaissance. Les poetes de langue latine (et tout specialement Jean Second, publie dans la meme collection), les Italiens (Marino, Guarini ?) ou les Francais de la Pleiade ont tous sacrifie a une mode qui renouvelait, a l'intention du lecteur moderne, les delices des poetes grecs de l'Anthologie.
En revanche, la place reservee au baiser dans la litterature morale et la reflexion philosophique est au meme moment des plus minces. Chez Patrizi, le baiser est place au c?ur meme de la reflexion sur l'amour, au point d'etre ici le sujet philosophique unique.Nouveaute, donc, et meme audace du projet, servie par l'originalite de la forme. Patrizi renoue en effet avec la methode socratique et fait dialoguer dans le cadre d'une ile deserte un vieil ermite et un jeune disciple. Ce dialogue, veritable initiation sera aussi la revelation progressive d'un mystere dont le caractere esoterique est souligne par l'effacement progressif de l'ermite qui laisse parler a travers lui l'esprit Compose d'un preambule, de trois parties et d'un poeme conclusif, l'opuscule laisse apparaitre sous la structure dialogique une structure dialectique tres forte. Sur le plan de la tradition philosophique sur l'amour, cette rehabilitation du baiser represente, face a la these platonicienne dominante une petite revolution. En legitimant la place du baiser dans l'amour humain, l'aristotelicien Patrizi entre en polemique directe contre celui dont il s'est jusque la si ouvertement inspire: Marsile Ficin. L'un des postulats de celui-ci est, en effet, l'opposition radicale entre les deux sens superieurs (vue et ouie) seuls susceptibles de percevoir la beaute et les trois autres (odorat, gout et toucher ) ravales au rang de l'animalite.Scandaleux et pragmatique, Patrizi conserve la hierarchie entre amour divin, amour humain et amour bestial, mais, refusant resolument de mutiler notre nature, il reintegre dans l'amour humain la totalite des facultes et des sens.Francesco Patrizi (1529-1597) est l'une des figures les plus interessantes de la vie intellectuelle italienne de la fin du XVIe siecle. Penseur, poete, scientifique, historien et grand voyageur, on doit a la recherche du dernier demi-siecle la redecouverte de sa personnalite et de son ?uvre notamment une Poetique en dix dialogues, La nouvelle Philosophie universelle et L'Amoureuse Philosophie.
