"I'm not surprised THE AVENGERS has such enduring popularity, because it was a groundbreaking series that changed television. It was the first show that put its leading man and leading lady on an equal footing."

Amicus Plato et la vérité

J’apprends (par un toot, simplement) qu’Isaac Newton #botd note en exergue d’un carnet :

Amicus Plato – amicus Aristoteles – magis amica veritas

(Platon est mon ami, Aristote est mon ami, la vérité est une plus grande amie)

Ce qui est plaisant, c’est l’inclusion d’Aristote dans un aphorisme attribué à Aristote (qui est en réalité la paraphrase d’un énoncé de l’Éthique à Nicomaque) :

Amicus Plato, sed magis amica veritas

Ainsi, alors qu’Aristote mentionne Platon, pour dire « oui, mais la vérité c’est plus important », alors que cette idée de la valeur superlative de la vérité est déjà présente dans le Phédon de Platon, avec du Socrate inside, Newton ajoute un degré de mise en abyme supplémentaire en incluant Aristote dans sa formulation de l’aphorisme. On n’en a jamais fini dans la recherche de la vérité ! sans cependant renier les apports des grands maîtres. Sachant la place de Newton dans les sciences modernes, puis comment ses théories furent remises en question, sans être niées cependant, par une physique plus large, plus ample, je trouve ça chouette et éclairant.

Wikipédia a remplacé le Reader’s Digest pour que nous puissions rêver du soleil des idées, mais c’est bien (j’ai mis un lien vers la page anglaise qui est plus précise).

Isaac Newton (4 janvier 1643 – 31 mars 1727)
