Abstract
In a reflexion taking its inspiration front Emmanuel Levinas' philosophy and Paul Ricceur's hermeneutics, the present article deals with Faust 's connection with Revelation in the Faustbuch (1587), an anonymous Lutheran work, which opened the great Faustian mythical tradition. The persisting relationship beyond the diabolic pact, between Faust and Revelation proves to be precarious, tragic and ambiguous. It testifies to one of the latest warnings given to modem conscience, in its debate, its struggle, even its progressive cancelling of alterity and transcendency. From then on the character of Faust inaugurates one of the constituting data of modem subjectivity and one of its temptations.
