English summary: Old age and adversity are trials much too burdensome in each and everyone's existence for no one to have asked Rousseau - inasmuch as he experienced them in the most intense ways imaginable - what wisdom, mad or not, he managed to derive from them, and how we might benefit from them as well, through his work. This book is dedicated to the last Rousseau's thought. Between its pages we find the principles and plans that the great writer could have formulated in a treatise on the benefits of old age and adversity that he did not write, the lack of which was deplored by Bernardin de Saint-Pierre.
French description: Vieillesse, adversite, sont des epreuves trop serieuses de l'existence de chacun et de tous pour qu'on ne demande pas a Rousseau, qui les a souffertes on ne peut plus intensement, quelle sagesse, folle ou non, il a su en extraire, et comment en recevoir par son truchement les possibilites propres, et comment apres lui les douer de sens. Occupe de ces deux epreuves, ce livre est consacre a la pensee du dernier Rousseau, pour autant qu'elle les eclaire d'un savoir radical. Il retrouve les principes et les projets que le grand ecrivain aurait pu articuler dans un traite qu'il n'a pas ecrit, dont Bernardin de Saint-Pierre a deplore l'absence, sur les avantages de la vieillesse et de l'adversite.Jerome Thelot est professeur de litterature francaise a l'universite de Lyon. Encre marine a publie plusieurs de ses livres: Au commencement etait la faim (2005), Critique de la raison photographique (2009), L'Immemorial, etudes sur la poesie moderne (2011), Le Travail vivant de la poesie (2013), ainsi que sa traduction du Voyageur cherubinique d'Angelus Silesius (2008).
