Description

English summary: The embryo is a plant, which at the moment of birth becomes a susceptible animal through the usage of its intellect. This is the theory supported by this treatise, which was first attributed to Galen and now to Porphyry. This peculiar treatise deals with a problem that has not stopped haunting medical, philosophical, and theological speculations: at which precise moment do we become human beings? The edition is accompanied by a richly annotated original translation. Greek text, French and English translations. French description: L'embryon est une plante qui, a l'instant de sa naissance, devient un animal susceptible par la suite de faire usage de son intellect. Telle est la these defendue dans ce traite d'abord attribue a Galien, mais qui l'est desormais a Porphyre. La doctrine platonicienne s'y trouve en effet reinterpretee dans la perspective de Plotin: l'union sexuelle permet la fabrication par la nature d'un corps vivant auquel s'unit, au terme de sa genese, l'ame qui, en fonction de la qualite ethique de son existence anterieure, lui est le mieux adaptee. Ce curieux traite aborde un probleme qui n'a cesse de hanter les speculations medicales, philosophiques et theologiques; a quel moment devient-on un etre humain? Voila pourquoi il est apparu necessaire d'en fournir une nouvelle edition accompagnee d'une traduction originale richement annotee. Texte grec, traductions francaise et anglaise.
