摘要：The aim of the present paper is to analyze the contrasting relationship between the discourse of André Comte-Sponville (1952-) and that of the Danish philosopher Kierkergaard (1813-1855) with regard specifically to the approach of the passion of despair. Based on the analysis, we can say that, by considering despair positively, as opposed to that of the Danish philosopher, Comte-Sponville stands not only with respect to Kierkergaard but also with respect to a whole tradition of the Western thought. We understand that, in the interdiscursive mesh that surrounds it, the thought of the French philosopher is still capable of dialoguing with the discourses about despair woven in contemporary times, since, by euphorizing “learning to live without hope”, he affirms the image modern of a world lived in dystopia. To carry out the analysis, we anchored in concepts extracted from the French Discourse Analysis (MAINGUENEAU, 2008) and Discursive Semiotics (GREIMAS; COURTÉS, 1979; SARAIVA, 2012), considering the possible convergences between these two fields of research.
