Bruno Méniel, « L’exemple historique dans le discours De la servitude volontaire d’Étienne de La Boétie », Elseneur, ID : 10.4000/elseneur.1310
In La Boétie’s work, historical examples have not just a heuristic, probative or parenetic function; by referring to a culture shared by the author and the reader, they create a bond, and make the discourse of De la servitude volontaire both the testimony and the instrument of the awareness that had a social group – high-ranking lawyers – of its political role.
