Vauvenargues - Vauvenargues (English spelling) Luc de Clapiers, Marquis de Vauvenargues

French moralist. Born in Aix-en-Provence, he initially dreamed of success as a soldier, but gave up due to injuries. After that, he found a way to thrive in literature despite his poor health, and in 1746 he published " Introduction à la connaissance de l'esprit humain " (Introduction to the Knowledge of the Human Mind) with "Maxims and Meditations", but died young one year later. Despite repeated misfortunes, the philosophy expressed in his Maxims was optimistic, and his emphasis on emotion was a precursor to Romanticism.

フランスのモラリスト。エクサン・プロバンスに生まれ、最初軍人として栄達を夢みるが傷痍(しょうい)のため断念した。以後、病弱の彼は文学に活路をみいだし、1746年『人間精神認識序説』Introduction à la connaissance de l'esprit humainに『箴言(しんげん)と省察』を付し刊行するが、1年後に夭折(ようせつ)した。たび重なる不運にもかかわらず、箴言に表明された哲学は楽天的で、感情重視の主張はロマン主義の先駆をなす。
