Jules de GAULTIER (1858-1942) 32 autograph letters to Constant Bourquin. 1920s. Total of 75 pages in 12mo, 135x105mm, and 8vo, 210x135mm. All signed. Two letters from his wife joined to the lot. Important source for knowledge of "Bovarism," illustrated in this extensive correspondence with philosopher Constant Bourquin. Central to Gaultier's reflection is the theory of Bovarism. Gaultier takes up the question posed by Plato about the boundary between the true and the false, between reality and illusion, and comes to the conclusion that since knowledge is always relative, every being knows himself different from what he is: not as he is objectively, but as he appears in relation to the subject. Man therefore has a distorted image of himself; this on the other hand allows him to escape from reality and consequently to accept his fate. Gaultier called this his philosophy bovarism (1911), because he found it perfectly applied in Gustave Flaubert's novel Madame Bovary. 32 autograph letters to Constant Bourquin.Twenties of the twentieth century.
