Abstract

Absurdity and madness are general. No reasonable action gives the best. Badness and goodness change their positions continually. We need to change as the world changes, only virtue before God remains, but virtue has also its measure. Small things can change big issues.

    Joset, says, quoting these verses: “L’editeur des Proverbios Morales, I. González Llubera, analysait les premiers vers de l’oeuvre en termes de “relativité universelle” et de “besoin d’adaptation individuelle aux changements de conditions”. L’homme n’est. jamais en repos: tout se transforme, rien n’est. stable (...) Cet éloge de la “mudanza” ne peut manquer de frapper le lecteur de textes médiévaux qui, le plus souvent, lui parlent de stabilité idéologique en accord avec un idéal social statique.(...) Cette conception du mouvement est. étroitement subordonnée, on s’en doute, à une cosmogonie.”Jacques Joset, “Opposition et réversabilité des valeurs dans les Proverbios Morales: approche du système de pensée de Santob de Carrión”, Autverjen, Marche Romane, special edition 1973, p. 178.
