Niyaz Fateh&dotbelow;puri (1884-1966 A.D./1302-1384 A.H.) was an accomplished literary critic, poet and religious scholar. He published a very successful magazine Nigar, primarily a literary journal, which soon became a platform for debating many of the most controversial religious, ideological, political and sociological issues of the time. It began publication in 1922 and continues to this day. / This thesis, the first detailed study in English, aims to put forward and analyze Fateh&dotbelow;puri's religious and social views in the context of the socio-political situation of the time. Through Nigar, Fateh&dotbelow;puri campaigned against the traditionalists, who he felt were responsible for the lack of both worldly and spiritual progress of Muslims because they fostered an unquestioning attitude on religious matters. / He discussed many religious concepts, for instance, revelation, free will and predestination, the hereafter, as well as the purpose of Islamic practices like prayer, fasting and charity. He believed that the basic purpose of religion was to teach akhlaq (ethical spirit) to people. Akhlaq, for him, meant doing good deeds for their own sake (as an individual's natural duty) and for the love of God. He offered what he believed to be the "rational" meaning of religion; his interpretation of religion was completely shorn of anything super-natural, and consisted of only those beliefs and actions which he thought were logical. / However, he defended the traditional role of women in society, which he saw as managing the household effectively. He considered this rational, since nature had made men and women different to enable them to perform different roles in society. Women, however, were equal to men, since their role in society was as important as that of men.

Penseur contemporain, Gaston Bachelard nous offre un témoignage original sur les bouleversements qui marquèrent la pensée scientifique au début du XXle siècle. Sa philosophie généreuse désire englober la totalité du potentiel de l'esprit humain. L'imagination et la raison sont mises dos à dos dans une philosophie qui se refuse à choisir entre les deux. Ce mémoire s'interroge, à partir de cette pensée à deux versants, sur la fonction de l'imagination dans l'activité de la connaissance. Bachelard, à l'aide de confrontations théoriques avec Brunschvicg, Bergson, Freud, Jung et Sartre, nous permet d'étudier sans détour le problème de l'imagination et de sa relation avec la raison dans l'édification de la connaissance. Un nouvel humanisme nous est alors offert, qui se fonde sur une finalité dévoilée dans l'activité du sujet connaissant
