La "grande dispute", selon Stendhal, est celle qui tourne autour du "mérite", question psychologique et collective qui marque le roman romantique français. Julien Sorel, le héros du Rouge et le Noir, accomplit le type de l'ambitieux, non sans paradoxe puisqu'il cultive sa singularité inimitable. La dispute est un combat pour exister, mais aussi un débat avec soi-même : Julien Sorel ne veut pas avoir, il veut être. Cet essai est à la fois un livre sur Stendhal, une réflexion sur le roman et une méditation sur le XIXe siècle. La figure de l'ambition livre sans doute, dans la fiction comme dans la réalité politique, une des clés pour comprendre ce siècle, apparemment loin de nous et cependant si proche par certains côtés.

In this volume, various aspects of Plutarch's view of 'philotimia' are analysed in detail and compared with the position of several authors of the 'Second Sophistic'. This confrontation challenges the often implicit and unquestioned consensus that Plutarch occupies as a singular figure 'his own space' apart from the 'Second Sophistic'. The broad approach and focus of this volume includes problems of textual criticism, comparative analysis, careful semantic studies of the occurrences of the term 'philotimia' in the different authors, moral-philosophical reflection on ambition, a study of philosophy as a field of honour, and the dynamics of the author's own 'philotimia' placed in the contemporary cultural context. The novel assessments of the different authors that are presented in this collection contribute to a proper understanding of their own (rhetorical/philosophical) culture and of their cultural environment. As a result, the monograph will be of interest to those studying Plutarch and the history of philosophy, rhetoric and the 'Second Sophistic'.
