Abstract

L'influence, en France, du Jansénisme, sur les premiers développements de l'économie politique, notamment autour du Cercle de Gournay, est aujourd'hui quelque chose de bien renseigné. A leur tour, ces développements de l' économie politique pré-classique vont nourrir la volonté d'émancipation de la Bourgeoisie de Robe au XVIIIe siècle. Notre hypothèse de départ est que le Jansénisme a pu ainsi jouer, dans le grand pays Catholique qu'est alors la France, le rôle, identifié depuis Max Weber, qu'a jouée,dans les pays où elle domine, la diffusion de « l'éthique protestante » sur le développement d'un « esprit du capitalisme ». Nous revendiquons alors la nécessité de revenir au sources théologiques du « premier jansénisme », dans sa volonté de mener une Contre-Réforme qui puise à la double source de l'église tridentine et de l'augustinisme, pour comprendre comment « l'éthique » janséniste a pu justifier des conduites de vie relevant d'une forme « d'esprit du capitalisme ». Pour identifier cette singularité de la théologie janséniste, et l'influence qu'elle a pu avoir sur les conduites de vie et les postures politiques de la bourgeoisie libérale au XVIIIe siècle, nous centrons cet article sur la vision qui peut en découler du travail comme acte libre et hédoniste.
