Abstract
- O texto salienta a importância da sátira lucianesca no pensamento das Luzes, em especial nos textos de Voltaire. Ao mesmo tempo, ele busca criticar a carência de humor na filosofia de nossa época, a partir de uma análise comparativa da prosa iluminista com a fala sibilina das correntes filosóficas irracionalistas, em especial as de Martin Heidegger e de seus epígonos.This paper stresses the relevance of Lucianic satire within the thought of the Enlightenment and, in particular, in Voltaire's works. At he same time, the typical lack of humour of contemporary philosophy is criticised from the standpoint of the comparative analysis of Enlightenment prose and the sibylline discourse of current irrationalist trends such as Martin Heidegger's and his followers'.
