Résumé
This article aims to show that if human beings cultivate an ideal vision of wisdom, it is because they are mortal and are aware of that, and it makes them suffer. To do so, the Greek figure of the Homeric hero will be examined, as well as the Socratic idea of wisdom reported by Plato. But far away from Greece, the Japanese tradition of Bud? is also studied, in which the ideal invincibility of the warrior fundamentally lies in his capacity to die during his lifetime.
