TY - EJOUR TI - Fanaticism or imposture? On some controversial figures in the Dictionnaire historique et critique T2 - La Lettre clandestine 2021, n° 29. L’Imposture et la littérature philosophique clandestine DO - 10.48611/isbn.978-2-406-11884-8.p.0175 SN - 2271-720X AB - The use of the notions of imposture and fanaticism is studied based on a selection of articles from the Dictionnaire historique et critique. We compare the Baylian interpretation of “factional prophetism” with the writings of Jurieu and David-Augustin de Brueys. Our approach is thus situated at the intersection of two axes of reflection, touching, on the one hand, on political imposture in its millenarian aspect, and, on the other, on forms of spirituality perceived as deviant.
