Abstract

Après la bêtise (Autour de la bêtise, 2015) c’est à l’imposture que Roland Breeur s’en prend désormais. Car celle-ci, sous la prolifération de « l’infox », semble encore plus menaçante et omniprésente. Les faussaires, les imposteurs, les escrocs, les menteurs et flatteurs hystériques, les chefs d’états corrompus, les fausses victimes, l’antéchrist : tous ne nous apprennent pas seulement comment tromper, ou ce que veut dire détourner la vérité : indirectement ils nous rappellent à l’ordre. Les philosophes clament haut et fort « aimer la vérité ». Encore faut-il qu’ils le prouvent. Une des manières de le faire est de démanteler les stratagèmes de ceux qui trahissent cet amour et qui le trompent. Les analyses menées dans ce livre sont motivées par cette question fondamentale : pourquoi, malgré tout, aime-t-on la vérité? Sous quelles conditions? Et comment le philosophe s’y prend-il dans cet amour? Car même si de nos jours le vrai, de par sa faiblesse, ne se distingue que fébrilement du faux, c’est pourtant bien de cette distinction que se soucie la pensée. Or notre époque, sous la prolifération de « l’infox », nous le démontre une nouvelle fois avec éclat : le sens de cette distinction n’est jamais acquis une fois pour toutes. Ce livre est né de l’espoir que le philosophe non seulement se soucie de, mais tente surtout de faire la distinction

Abstract

Dans la grisaille de la routine quotidienne, le sensationnel, le spectaculaire et le surnaturel nous permettent d’échapper à l’ordinaire. Mais le jeu de l’imposture n’est amusant que si nous en acceptons les règles. Ceux qui se laissent abuser risquent gros : argent, crédibilité, intégrité... Certains y ont laissé la vie. Aujourd’hui, la désinformation est partout, mais le mal est ancien. L’histoire regorge de faux-semblants de toutes natures. Le Cheval de Troie, modèle mythologique de la supercherie, fait ainsi écho aux problèmes contemporains d’un monde dominé par Internet. Embarquons pour un voyage dans le temps et aventurons-nous au gré des fraudes et falsifications qui ont jalonné l’histoire tout en gardant un œil sur la réalité des choses

Abstract

Wat hebben Albert Einstein, Karel Appel, Boudewijn Büch, Cicero, Jules Croiset, Ptolemeus, René Diekstra, Ernest Hemingway, François Mitterrand en Marco Polo allemaal met elkaar gemeen? Ze staan in Leugenaars en vervalsers van Roelf Bolt. Leugenaars en vervalsers omringen ons. En dan hebben we het niet alleen over valsemunters, sjoemelende kunsthandelaren en overspeligen: in bijna vijfhonderd lemma's behandelt deze 'encyclopedie' allerhande sterfgevallen, vorstelijke aanspraken, eieren, kinderscharen, wetenschappelijke vondsten, bonbons, boeken, zebra's, sekse - want het is zo gek niet te bedenken of het wordt vervalst. Eigenbelang is vaak een motivatie, maar ook ideologie, rancune, liefde en haat of een goed gevoel voor humor. Naast onbekenden die enkel door bedrog voor het voetlicht traden, bevat het boek een groot aantal beroemde personen. Een vrolijkmakend boek voor bedriegers en bedrogenen.

Abstract

On ne cesse de critiquer les informations fausses, en mécon­naissant tout ce qu’elles apportent à notre vie privée et collective. Elles ne sont pas seulement, en effet, source de bien-être psychologique, elles stimulent la curiosité et l’imagination, ouvrant ainsi la voie à la création littéraire comme aux découvertes scientifiques. Ce livre prend leur défense.

Abstract

"La fraude mystique est un phénomène récurrent dans l'histoire de l'Eglise. Mais aujourd'hui, face à la sécularisation de la société, elle se multiplie et elle revêt des formes qui prétendent répondre à l'angoisse des hommes. Elle n'en est que plus dangereuse. Les cas de fraude mystique ne sont malheureusement pas isolés dans l'histoire de l'Église. Certains miracles, visions, messages ou autres phénomènes en apparence surnaturels, qui fascinent aisément, ont décidément un revers obscur. Dans les pires cas, ils ne sont pas autre chose que l'oeuvre de faussaires habiles et manipulateurs à l'extrême. Si, à côté des affaires les plus médiatisées, de nombreux dossiers restent méconnus des non-initiés, ils ne peuvent pour autant être ignorés. Trop souvent, face à des débuts de dérive sectaire, l'opinion publique et les institutions ecclésiales se sont tues - par indifférence ou apathie, si ce n'est par complaisance. Les conséquences sont pourtant bien réelles, et parfois très graves : emprise psychologique ou spirituelle, abus financiers ou sexuels... Reste à comprendre comment on a pu en arriver là. C'est ce que nous propose cette étude magistrale, en analysant quelques cas parmi les plus alarmants d'impostures mystiques du xxe et du xxie siècle. Pour en démonter les mécanismes, et proposer des pistes de discernement. Pour nous libérer, et rendre enfin possible la vie spirituelle et mystique authentique."

Abstract

"This book uncovers the remarkable story of a fake saint to tell a tale about truth. It begins at the end of the 1650s, when a large quantity of forged documents suddenly appeared throughout the Kingdom of Naples. Narrating the life and deeds of a previously unknown medieval saint named Giovanni Calà, the trove generated much excitement around the kingdom. No one was more delighted by the news than Carlo Calà, Giovanni's wealthy and politically influential seventeenth-century descendant. Attracted by the prospect of adding a saint to the family tree, Carlo presented Giovanni's case to the Roman Curia. The Catholic authorities immediately realized that the sources were forged and that Giovanni was not real (let alone holy). Yet, it took more than two decades before the forgery was exposed: why? Vividly reconstructing the intricate case of the supposed saint, the book reveals the tensions between historical and theological truth. How much could the truth of doctrine depend on the truth of the facts before religion lost its connection with the supernatural? To what extent could theology ignore the truth of history without ending up engulfed in falsity and deceit? This story of a fake saint illuminates early modern tensions. But the struggles to distinguish between facts, opinions, and beliefs remain with us. Examining how our predecessors dealt with the relationship between truth and authenticity guides us too in thinking through what is true and what is not"--

Abstract

Lucian's Alexander the False Prophet is the only literary testimony to a highly influential cult of the 'New Asclepios Glycon' which, as archaeological evidence continues to document, spread all over the eastern Mediterranean basin throughout the second and third centuries AD. This book offers an analysis of the complete manuscript tradition, a newly constituted text and a German translation. The extensive introduction deals with (1) the archaeological evidence, (2) the question of Lucian's historical reliability, (3) the reasons for Lucian's opposition to the oracle of Abonuteichos, (4) the institutions and the teaching of the cult at Abonuteichos. Furthermore, there is a commentary on all philological and historical questions and on those issues relevant to the history of religions. Lucian's Alexander is not one of his satirical bravuras, but a strikingly successful attempt at writing a work of contemporary history - a practical example of what the author himself has theoretically discussed in his work, How to Write History .
