Jibran Khalal (883 - 1931) was a Lebanese-American artist, poet, and writer of the New York Pen League. Khalil Gibran was born in the town of Bsharri in the Mount Lebanon Mutasarrifate, Ottoman Empire (north of modern-day Lebanon), to Khalil Gibran and Kamila Gibran(Rahmeh). As a young man Khalil emigrated with his family to the United States, where he studied art and began his literary career, writing in both English and Arabic. In the Arab world, Gibran is regarded as a literary and political rebel. His romantic style was at the heart of a renaissance in modern Arabic literature, especially prose poetry, breaking away from the classical school. In Lebanon, he is still celebrated as a literary hero. He is chiefly known in the English-speaking world for his 1923 book The Prophet, an early example of inspirational fiction including a series of philosophical essays written in poetic English prose. The book sold well despite a cool critical reception, gaining popularity in the 1930s and again especially in the 1960s counterculture. Gibran is the third best-selling poet of all time, behind Shakespeare and Laozi.
Philosophe, essayiste et poète, Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) est une figure de proue du transcendantalisme américain. D'une grande rigueur morale, ce maître à penser de sa génération s'efforcera, sa vie durant, d'appliquer les idées transcendantalistes à la vie politique et culturelle de son pays dans laquelle il est pleinement engagé car l'homme de lettres est aussi un homme public qui défendra notamment la cause du Nord pendant la guerre de Sécession.
Mathématicien ou philosophe ? Théologien ou physicien ? Pascal était tout cela à la fois, ce qui en fait un des esprits les plus brillants de son temps. Figure intellectuelle majeure du XVIIe siècle, Pascal demeure aujourd'hui une référence en matière de réflexion sur Dieu, sur l'infini, sur l'inconnu. Ses recherches ont contribué à faire avancer les sciences dures autant que ses fameuses Pensées ont amené ses contemporains à s'interroger sur leur rapport au spirituel.
