Paperback. Le Manusmiti est un ancien texte juridique des hindous. C'etait l'un des premiers textes sanskrit a avoir ete traduit en anglais en 1776 par Sir William Jones, et a ete utilise pour formuler la loi hindoue par le gouvernement colonial britannique. Plus de cinquante manuscrits du Manusmriti sont trouves, mais la version la plus ancienne decouverte, la plus traduite et presumee authentique depuis le 18eme siecle a ete le "manuscrit de Kolkata (anciennement Calcutta) avec le commentaire de Kulluka Bhatta". La recherche moderne affirme que cette authenticite presumee est fausse, et les divers manuscrits de Manusmriti decouverts en Inde sont incompatibles les uns avec les autres et en eux-memes, ce qui souleve des preoccupations quant a son authenticite, ses insertions et interpolations faites dans le texte plus tard. Le texte metrique est en sanskrit, est differemment date du 2eme siecle avant notre ere au 3eme siecle de notre ere, et il se presente comme un discours donne par Manu (Svayambhuva) et Bhrigu sur des sujets du dharma tels que les devoirs, les droits, les lois, la conduite, vertus et autres. La renommee du texte s'est repandue en dehors de Bharat (Inde), bien avant l'ere coloniale. La loi bouddhiste de l'epoque medievale du Myanmar et de la Thailande est egalement attribuee a Manu, et le texte a influence les royaumes hindous du Cambodge et de l'Indonesie. Manusmriti est egalement appele le Manava-Dharmasastra ou les lois de Manu. La version moderne du texte a ete subdivisee en douze Adhyayas (chapitres), mais le texte original n'avait pas une telle division. Le texte couvre differents sujets et est unique parmi les anciens textes indiens en utilisant des versets de transition pour marquer la fin d'un sujet et le debut du suivant. Le texte peut etre globalement divise en quatre, chacun de longueur differente, et chacun divise en sous-sections: 1. Creation du monde 2. Source du dharma 3. Le dharma des quatre classes sociales 4. Loi du karma, renaissance et liberation finale Le texte est compose en shlokas metriques (versets), sous la forme d'un dialogue entre un enseignant exalte et des disciples desireux d'apprendre les differents aspects du dharma. Les 58 premiers versets sont attribues par le texte a Manu, tandis que les plus de deux mille versets restants sont attribues a son eleve Bhrigu. Manusmriti est generalement traduit comme "code de Manu", mais cela signifie litteralement "reflets de Manu". Il se presente comme un document qui compile et organise le code de conduite de la societe humaine. Il a vu le jour il y a environ 1800 ans, a peu pres a la periode qui a vu l'hindouisme vedique base sur le yagna se transformer en hindouisme puranique base sur un temple. Mansumriti est le livre de droit des hindous, quelque chose comme la Constitution de l'Inde. Manusmriti ou Manava-dharma-shastra, est un smriti (ce qui se rappelle): l'oeuvre de l'homme, sujette a changement avec le temps (kala), le lieu (sthan) et les participants (patra). Les hindous croient que pour donner un sens a la vie (purusha-artha), nous devons poursuivre quatre objectifs simultanement: etre socialement responsable (dharma), generer et distribuer la richesse (artha), se livrer au plaisir (kama) et ne pas s'attacher a n'importe quoi (moksha). L'origine de Manusmriti est attribuee a Brahma, le createur, qui la transmet au premier humain, Manu, qui la transmet au premier enseignant, Bhrigu, qui la transmet a d'autres sages. Depuis sa composition, Manusmriti etait considere comme le premier dharma-shastra, eclipsant tous les autres livres de droit. Manusmriti s'aligne sur la vision vedique selon laquelle la societe est composee de quatre types de communautes - ceux qui connaissent les Vedas (brahmanes), ceux qui gouvernent Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.…
