| Abstract |
L'article montre que l'objet du Livre des Avares (Kitaab al-Bukhalaa') d'Al-Jaahiz (auteur arabe du IXe s.), n'est pas, comme on le prétend généralement, la description d'un vice, mais celle des paralogismes au moyen desquels les avares cherchent à justifier leur vice. Les anecdotes du Livre des Avares sont analysées, du double point de vue de leurs effets comiques et de leur structure argumentative. |
| Abstract (other language) |
Paper shows that the real object of the Book of Misers (Kitaab al-Bukhalaa') by Al-Jaahiz (Arabic author, IXth cent.) is not the description of a vice, as is currently believed, but rather the fallacies through which misers try and defend their vice. The anecdotes of the book are analysed, both in their comical effects and from the standpoint of their argumentative structures. |
