Le shi’isme comme trait d’union entre les traditions spirituelles\u00a0 et \u00e9sot\u00e9riques de l’Antiquit\u00e9 tardive et l’islam
\nTogether with the notion of secrecy, the core of Shi’i esotericism gravitates around the \u1e93\u0101hir\/b\u0101\u1e6din dualism. This dialectical relationship between the visible and the hidden, which has been inherited from Late Antiquity, buttresses the main doctrines of esoteric Shi’ism which include a dualistic worldview, doctrines of emanation, the contrast between the people of knowledge and of ignorance, the soterial nature of knowledge and of the Guide who possesses it, the two levels of the Scriptures, the need for hermeneutics, and initiatory knowledge and practices. It is true that the birthplace of Shi’ism was Iraq, which had been the central province of the Sassanid Persian Empire until the advent of Islam. This region and its main cities were home to the many intellectual and spiritual traditions of Late Antiquity, including various Jewish, Christian, Judeo-Christian, Mazdean, Manichean, Neoplatonic and Gnostic movements, with these traditions living on for several centuries after the advent of the religion of the Arabs. The articles in this collection, written by recognised scholars in the field, are divided into three sections covering a very wide period of time: the “prehistory” of these doctrines before Islam, early esoteric Shi’ism and its developments in both Shi’i and non-Shi’i Sufism, occult sciences and philosophy.
\nL\u2019\u00e9sot\u00e9risme shi\u2019ite a pour centre de gravit\u00e9, \u00e0 part la notion de secret, le couple\u00a0 \u1e93\u0101hir \/b\u0101\u1e6din. Cette dialectique de l\u2019apparent et du cach\u00e9,\u00a0 h\u00e9rit\u00e9e de l\u2019Antiquit\u00e9 tardive, se trouve \u00e0 la base des principales doctrines du shi\u2019isme \u00e9sot\u00e9rique : vision dualiste du monde, doctrines \u00e9manationnistes, opposition entre les gens de la connaissance et ceux de l\u2019ignorance, la nature salvatrice de la connaissance et du Guide qui la d\u00e9tient, le double niveau des Ecritures, la n\u00e9cessit\u00e9 de l\u2019herm\u00e9neutique, savoirs et pratiques initiatiques\u2026Il est vrai que la terre natale du shi\u2019isme a \u00e9t\u00e9 l\u2019Irak, province centrale de l\u2019empire perse des Sassanides avant l\u2019islam. Cette r\u00e9gion et ses principales villes ont \u00e9t\u00e9 le si\u00e8ge de nombreuses traditions intellectuelles et spirituelles tardo-antiques : divers mouvements juifs, chr\u00e9tiens, jud\u00e9o-chr\u00e9tiens, mazd\u00e9ens, manich\u00e9ens, n\u00e9oplatoniciens, gnostiques\u2026 traditions qui continu\u00e8rent \u00e0 vivre plusieurs si\u00e8cles apr\u00e8s l\u2019av\u00e8nement de la religion arabe. Les articles de ce recueil, \u00e9crits par des chercheurs confirm\u00e9s, sont divis\u00e9s en trois grandes parties recouvrant un tr\u00e8s large arc chronologique : la \u00ab pr\u00e9histoire \u00bb de ces doctrines avant l\u2019islam, le shi\u2019isme \u00e9sot\u00e9rique proprement dit \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9poque ancienne, les prolongements de celui-ci dans le soufisme, les sciences occultes ou encore la philosophie, aussi bien shi\u2019ites que non-shi\u2019ites.<\/p>\n
