Intéressant! Notez que la "renversement de la logique" du beau s'applique aussi au "bon" moral, i.e. au bien.
RépondreSupprimer"We get the notion of something being objectively good, or having intrinsic value, by reversing the direction of dependence here, by making the desire depend upon the goodness, instead of the goodness on the desire. And this is aided by the fact that the desired thing will indeed have features that make it desired, that enable it to arouse a desire or that make it such as to satisfy some desire that is already there. It is fairly easy to confuse the way in which a thing's desirability is indeed objective with its having in our sense objective value. The fact that the word "good" serves as one of our main moral terms is a trace of this pattern of objectification" ("Ethics", J.L.Mackie, Penguin books, 1977, p.43)
