R\u00e9ciproquement, celui qui s\u2019abstient de tout plai\u00adsir, celui qui fuit devant eux, sans excep\u00adtion aucune, sombre dans l\u2019h\u00e9b\u00e9tude \u00ab tel un rustre \u00bb. \u00ab De telles gens se ren\u00adcon\u00adtrant rare\u00adment \u00bb, Aristote explique qu\u2019ils n\u2019ont pas re\u00e7u de nom. Il en pro\u00adpose donc un : \u00ab Appelons-les, dit-il, des insensibles. \u00bb
\nL\u2019insensibilit\u00e9, lit\u00adt\u00e9\u00adra\u00adle\u00adment l\u2019anesth\u00e9sie (suit le mot grec, ndr), c\u2019est-\u00e0-dire aus\u00adsi la stu\u00adpi\u00addi\u00adt\u00e9 (c\u2019est le sens du mot chez Th\u00e9ophraste), est donc pour Aristote le pire des vices. Pareille insen\u00adsi\u00adbi\u00adli\u00adt\u00e9 est pro\u00adpre\u00adment \u00ab innom\u00admable \u00bb, parce qu\u2019elle \u00ab n\u2019a rien d\u2019humain \u00bb. On ne l\u2019imagine m\u00eame pas dans la vie r\u00e9elle : c\u2019est le fait d\u2019un per\u00adson\u00adnage de com\u00e9\u00addie, inapte \u00e0 vivre en soci\u00e9\u00adt\u00e9, le propre d\u2019un monstre, d\u2019un \u00ab vicieux \u00bb total.
\nAux yeux du phi\u00adlo\u00adsophe, la \u00ab ces\u00adsa\u00adtion de tout plai\u00adsir sexuel \u00bb ne peut \u00eatre qu\u2019une anes\u00adth\u00e9\u00adsie g\u00e9n\u00e9\u00adrale : le plus par\u00adfait conti\u00adnent est le par\u00adfait frus\u00adtr\u00e9, \u00e0 la fois rustre et fruste. C\u2019est \u00e0 cet insen\u00adsible qu\u2019Aristote oppose le tem\u00adp\u00e9\u00adrant, homme du juste milieu et de l\u2019\u00e9quilibre, lequel est tout sauf \u00ab m\u00e9diocre \u00bb.
\nL\u2019id\u00e9al du juste milieu, de la \u00ab m\u00e9die\u00adt\u00e9 \u00bb, a de nos jours quelque chose d\u2019irritant \u2013 sur\u00adtout quand la publi\u00adci\u00adt\u00e9 la trans\u00adforme en ordon\u00adnance m\u00e9dia\u00adtique et prescrit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
