Stoicism is considered to be a philosophy of wisdom. Conceived in theGreco-Roman Antiquity, this philosophy constitutes a reference for many thinkers andwriters. Chantal Delsol, a French philosopher and anthropologist, integrates Stoicism into the European reasoning about death. This is nothing astonishing – Stoicism is especiallyconcerned with the idea of death. Stoic spiritual techniques teach one how to surmount thefear of death. But, curiously, these spiritual exercises also risk teaching one how to scorn life. Emil Cioran, a Romanian writer, seeks „the Stoic therapy” through Marcus Aurelius’snotes. But, fi nally, he falls into the existential and European confl ict between desire andindifference, between engagement and renouncement, between identity and nothingness,and between suffering and destruction. His confl ict comes from two different visions ofdeath, the fi rst is a Stoic one, and the second is a monotheistic belief in eternity. ChantalDelsol recalls a contrasting concept, i.e. that the fear of death is only an illusion for Socrates– the Stoic master – and for Christ it is a real and painful passage to his eternal Father

In the 1930s, Edith Steinattends a phenomenological conference in Juvisy (where she meets Jacques Maritain), therebyentering the French intellectual world. Stein knows French: she is interested in the Carmel in France, including the Carmelites of Compiegne, whom remind her of the death of expiatory sacrifice. And yet the position of Stein and her ideas in the French humanistics is problematic. The current principle of secularism certainly constitutes a resistance to the adoption of Stein’s works in France. Moreover, for a long time Stein’s works were neither translated nor published and as consequence the French philosophical world for years could not read and confront her thoughts. The reception of her works has been recently changing. Perhaps Stein, being a Jew and a German woman, aids a multireligious, multicultural and secularised society.

Monique Atlan and Roger-Pol Droit both propose a reassessment of the dominant rationalistic pessimism of people through the perspective of hope. From this point of view, one should definitely learn thinking also in terms of hope. According toChantal Delsol, European pessimism can be overcome with Christian faith. The hope of eternal life derives from the Jewish and Christian principles of faith. The respect for eternityoriginated the great achievements of civilization. The philosopher attempts to transpose this spiritual program and values onto a social plan.Similar perception of hope in the perspective of faith coincides, despite the distinctarticulation, in the Peguy’s poem. For Peguy the figure of a little girl personifies the frailand weak hope. According to Delsol, the European hope can be rebuilt through the anthropologicalvision of a fragile man. Her concept of hope is based on the acceptance ofhuman imperfection.
