Abstract
Working from psychoanalysis and philosophy, this article takes up the opposition between mercenary and pure love in order to open up new paths to the reading of Fénelon. At a time when science was at its peak, his works announced its end, as well as that of the ego, and emerged as a space of emptiness and death, of detachment and loss.
