Les vérités de l'être au centre de l'œuvre d'André Malraux

Résumé (en anglais)

The article does an ontological reading/interpretation of Malraux's works trying to answer this essential question « Who am I for myself? ». The analysis reveals three types of answers Malraux gives to this question: the space of doing, the space of being and the space of hoping. The notion of center changes in this vision as it is connected to the notion of metamorphosis, the latter being perceived as a Law of the world or a law of discontinuity. The center, as an unchangeable landmark, a symbol of order and stability, is opposed to dynamism and to the process which turns the being into an interrogation permanently chasing answers: « What is the human being? », « Why should life have a meaning? ».
