Regarded as truth in Rome and the hellenistic world, astrology acquired a scientific status, mainly due to its association with the Roman empire and to its use by the emperors, as a way of validating their own political position. The purpose of this dissertation is to analyze the cosmology and the astrological understanding of the universe present in the treatise Astronomica, by Marcus Manilius, a roman astrological poem written in the first century of a.D., a time when the roman Empire had already been consolidated and astrology was gaining more and more power as a form of knowledge. The emperors had chosen astrology to validate their political positions, due to the previous introduction of astrology in the roman culture. So, at first, this dissertation discusses how the astrological knowledge was incorporated by the roman culture and which elements contributed to establish its role in the establishment of the Empire constitution, considering the Stoic philosophy and the Greek literary model as the main elements. At a second moment, this dissertation analyzes the comprehension of the world presented in Astronomica, by identifying characteristics of stoic thinking related to it. Finally, this research discusses the relation between the astrological poem and elements of the context in which it was written / No século I d.C. a compreensão astrológica do mundo oferecia uma base ontológica a partir da qual os fenômenos eram entendidos. Considerada como verdade em Roma e no mundo helenístico, a astrologia adquiriu status de ciência devido, em parte, à sua associação com o Império romano e ao uso que os imperadores dela fizeram para validar sua posição política. O propósito desta dissertação é analisar a cosmologia e a compreensão astrológica do mundo presentes na obra Astronomica, de Marcus Manilius, um poema astrológico romano escrito no século I d.C., momento em que o Império romano já havia se consolidado e em que a astrologia ganhava cada vez mais força enquanto um saber. Se os imperadores elegeram a astrologia para validar sua posição política, foi porque ela já havia se introduzido na cultura romana. Assim, a primeira parte deste trabalho discute como o saber astrológico foi incorporado pela cultura romana, e quais os possíveis elementos que contribuíram para que ele ocupasse o lugar que ocupou com a constituição do Império, identificando a filosofia estóica e os modelos literários gregos entre os principais. A segunda parte analisa a compreensão de mundo presente na obra Astronomica, identificando os traços do pensamento estóico a ela relacionados e, por fim, discute a relação entre esse poema astrológico e elementos do contexto em que ele foi escrito

Le ciel est omniprésent dans les œuvres des philosophes romains au Ier siècle avant et au Ier siècle après Jésus-Christ. Il apparaît tout à la fois chez l’épicurien Lucrèce, le néo-académicien Cicéron et les stoïciens Manilius et Sénèque. Cette thèse postule qu’il existe, au-delà des divergences entre les penseurs, un regard porté sur le ciel propre à la philosophie romaine. Le ciel, plus qu’un objet sensible, est une représentation. Les Latins sont les héritiers d’une longue tradition du regard : en levant les yeux, ils contemplent tout à la fois le ciel des astrologi grecs et chaldéens, celui des physiciens et celui des poètes. La pensée romaine confronte, de manière originale, l’ensemble de ces regards : la philosophie du ciel s’enrichit d’une dimension astronomique et d’une dimension métaphorique. Les Latins ont toutefois une position ambiguë par rapport à l’astronomie : à l’exception de Manilius, ils se méfient de cette discipline, trop en deçà de la philosophie. Ils ne peuvent pourtant se résoudre à la passer sous silence. En revanche, le regard métaphorique est intégré au projet philosophique. L’étude physique du ciel vise certes à le désacraliser, mais la fascination des auteurs pour le firmament les conduit fréquemment à en faire un lieu à part. Par sa beauté et par son mystère, il devient un symbole des aspirations humaines : il représente l’idéal de vertu et pourrait même révéler des secrets habituellement réservés au sage. Tout en se gardant de céder à la superstition, les Latins savent contempler avec émotion : leur philosophie du ciel est une philosophie de l’enthousiasme. / The sky is omnipresent in the works of Roman philosophers of the 1st Century B.C. and the 1st Century A.D. It is present in the works of the Epicurian Lucretius, those of the neoacademician Cicero, and those of the Stoics Manilius and Seneca. This dissertation argues that there exists, beyond the differences between these thinkers as individuals, a unique gaze upon the sky that is proper to Roman philosophy. The sky is more than just an observable object; it is a representation. The Latins are the inheritors of a long tradition of the gaze: by raising their eyes skyward, they are simultaneously contemplating the sky of the Greek and Chaldean astrologi, that of the physicians, and that of the poets. Roman thought brings together all of these gazes in an original way: the philosophy of the sky is informed and enriched by both an astronomical dimension and by a metaphoric dimension. Nonetheless, the Latins have an ambiguous position with respect to astronomy: with the exception of Manilius, they are wary of this discipline, which is too far philosophy’s inferior. And yet, they cannot bear not to discuss it. Indeed, the metaphoric gaze becomes an integral part of philosophy’s project. The physical study of the sky certainly intends to desacralize it, but the authors’ fascination for the firmament frequently leads them to make it out to be a place apart. By virtue of its beauty and mystery, it becomes a symbol of human aspirations: it represents the ideal of virtue and could even reveal secrets usually reserved for the sage. Although careful not to yield to superstition, the Latins know how to contemplate with emotion: their philosophy of the sky is a philosophy of enthusiasm.
