La pensée inachevée L’essai selon Joseph Joubert

  • Publication type: Article from a collective work
  • Collective work:
    Essai et essayisme en France au xixe siècle
  • Author: Beaulieu (Étienne)
  • Abstract: Joseph Joubert (1754-1824) inaugurated a rather strange tradition of writers without writings. External factors cannot explain the unfinished essays left behind in his notebooks ; rather, they are testament to what was, for Joubert, the impossibility of giving form to his thoughts, and perhaps to thought itself.
