Éloge de la « production hasardeuse » : le De rerum natura de Lucrèce au miroir de l’Anti-nature de Clément Rosset

Résumé

This paper aims to show how Clément Rosset's thought of anti-nature has renewed the interpretation of De rerum natura. For Rosset meaning of the word natura as used by Lucretius is as far as possible from the Aristotelian meaning of nature that so deeply informs the occidental concept of nature. Natura means by Lucretius absolute rejection of any form of finalism. Everything that is born is the result of chance. This observation has the consequence of abolishing the border between natural production and artistic production. Such an abolition must be compared to the analogy between the combination of letters and that of atoms as developed by Lucretius in his poem. Target of the anti-Epicurean controversy which tries, in vain to turn it over into a finalist perspective, this analogy allows us to think of the production of matter and that of the text as a production under the sign of chance and insignificance. Rosset and Francis Ponge, another great reader of Lucretius, deploy the ethical consequences of this nsignificance to achieve an aesthetic of happiness.
