| Popis: | This article examines a curious yet significant episode in the culminating phase of F. M. Dostoevsky’s creativity. In his extended sketch for a project known as “The Life of a Great Sinner” (“Zhitie velikogo greshnika”) he refers a number of times to a certain Thérèse philosophe, a character drawn from a 18th-century French conte philosophique entitled “Thérèse philosophe, ou Mémoires pour servir à l’histoire du Père Dirrag et de Mademoiselle Éradice”. Although “Thérèse philosophe” was first published anonymously in 1749, the article demonstrates that the author was Jean Baptiste de Boyer, Marquis d’Argens (1703-1771), a prolific author who took an active part in the philosophical debates of his day, corresponded with Voltaire, and in 1742 entered the service of Frederick II, where he remained for the next twenty-six years as a director of the Prussian Academy. The first part of the article is devoted to a detailed exposition and analysis of “Thérèse philosophe”, which although widely known at the time in the century following its original publication, was subsequently overlooked and difficult to access. Through the exposition it becomes evident that “Thérèse philosophe” propounds ideas of rational egotism (particularly in relations between men and women) that were current during the French Enlightenment. The second part of article examines Dostoevsky’s determined response to that moralité in his late novels. The article suggests that an apparently frivolous work of French literature that would have been read by Dostoevsky in his youth retained enduring meaning for the writer as a paradigm for views on life that he profoundly contested. |
