Un élément caractéristique de la Renaissance est la montée en force de la philosophie de Platon par rapport à celle d’Aristote qui est surtout associée à la fin du Moyen-Âge. Cette prédilection pour une relecture des œuvres de Platon a entraîné un effort de traduction renouvelé dont témoigne le « Manuscrit d’Ottawa ». Ce trésor de la Bibliothèque de l’Université d’Ottawa, conservé aux Archives et collections spéciales, présente une traduction inédite du Phédon de Platon, soit la première traduction d’une œuvre de Platon en langue française. La conférence s’articule autour de ce manuscrit et procède à sa captivante mise en contexte.
