The author relates his academic debuts in the 1970's and how, by studying Greek vases decoration, his point of view on the meaning of the images as symbolic works came across the anthropological problematic adopted by the members of Vernant's research team. So a rich collaboration between them started, all the more valuable since political normalization imposed by the regime was severely restricting working conditions for Czech archeologists.

The authoress relates the way Jean-Pierre Vernant (beside Jacques Derrida) created (1981), lead and remained entirely involved into the activity of the French section of the Jan Hus foundation whose aim was to break the isolation in which Czech and Slovak intellectuals were confined by organizing clandestine seminaries and conferences (about a dozen a year between 1982 and 1989). Vernant's ability to have people representing a wide range of opinions work together was the key of the success of this foundation.

By relating the intellectual context of Vernant's debuts and the intellectual filiation between Vernant and Ignace Meyerson, Marcel Mauss or Louis Gernet, the author explains what Vernant's work, usually qualified as anthropological history, owes to psychological history. His predecessors claimed that social conditions are historical phenomena and that they are produced by psychological conditions. Vernant's project is to study how these social institutions and these ways of thinking, our societies are still referring to, constituted themselves. How did change psychological functions and categories of thinking which created the works used by historians as material and sources (literary or religious texts or works of art). This ability of 'estrangement' and this focus on changes and differences kept Vernant far from any general anthropological theory as built by Levi Strauss.

In his article 'Ebauches de la volonte dans la tragedie grecque' (1972), Jean-Pierre Vernant deviates around Aristotle and his concepts of voluntary / unvoluntary in order to analyse the Greek Tragics. But he was very influenced by the master commentary of the Nicomachean Ethics by Gauthier and Jolif (1959) in such a way that even the title of his article was issued from that commentary. The present paper argues that this influence was not so right and that it is possible to find in Aristotle and Alexander of Aphrodisias the sources of a libertarian philosophy which is not based on the Stoic or Christian notion of liberium arbitrium.
