| Résumé anglais |
In Eureka, Poe hits on some of the fundamental features of our present view of the universe. In this essay, I investigate the way in which he appropriates the scientific knowledge of his day to elaborate a vision of the cosmos pulsating from and back into "God" or, to our limited reason, "Nothingness." Poe evinces a mixture of expertise, disingenuousness, discernment and rhetoric, but my overall contention is that he was guided by a deep, imaginative sense of man 's paradoxical position as an explorer of his own universe.
