Les Cahiers du GRIF - Année 1992 - Volume 46 - Numéro 1 - Pages 29-39Catherine Chalier provides here a reply to a few questions about her writings. She was concerned early on with the problem of the feminine and women, especially in the work of Levinas, but the problem, which is in her vision more ethical than political, is not an exclusive one. Her investigation does not take place within the Greek tradition but within the Jewish heritage, a heritage that women as well as men ought to interpret. In Les matriarches, she analyses significant women of the Bible. In L'Alliance avec la nature, she scrutinizes the import of nature in Jewish thought. In her view, what inspires a philosophical thought can never be defined : it is a secret. 11 pages Source : Persée ; Ministère de la jeunesse, de l’éducation nationale et de la recherche, Direction de l’enseignement supérieur, Sous-direction des bibliothèques et de la documentation.
