Mejor cita de La Passion : Entre Souffrance et Extase - Origines et Philosophie
La passion est un feu qui peut aussi bien chauffer la maison que la brûler entièrement ; tout l'enjeu est de savoir si elle nous porte ou si elle nous dévore.

Preguntas frecuentes
Comme l'expliquent Lena et Jackson, le mot passion provient du terme latin passio, qui signifie littéralement souffrance. À l'origine, ce terme désignait un supplice ou l'action de subir, comme on le voit avec les derniers instants du Christ. Aujourd'hui, le sens a évolué pour devenir un idéal de vie moderne lié à l'enthousiasme, bien que la racine évoque initialement un état passif face à une force qui nous dépasse.
La passion est intrinsèquement liée à l'idée de subir quelque chose plutôt que de le choisir. Jackson souligne que c'est l'état d'une personne passive face à une force supérieure, tandis que Lena rappelle que selon les définitions classiques, c'est presque une maladie de l'âme. Cette notion de perte de contrôle s'oppose à la raison, car la passion nous fait perdre les pédales et nous transforme parfois en victimes de nos propres élans.
Dans ce podcast, Lena mentionne qu'Aristote classait la passion parmi les catégories de ce que l'on subit, la percevant comme une force reçue de l'extérieur. De leur côté, les philosophes stoïciens y voyaient un ébranlement de la raison. Pour ces penseurs anciens, la passion n'était pas le moteur de réussite que l'on célèbre aujourd'hui, mais plutôt une entrave à la logique et à la maîtrise de soi.
