Summary/Abstract: Cet article se propose de mettre en perspective l’oeuvre aphoristique de Cioran sous l’angle non-exclusif du style et de rendre compte des aspects d’une« esthétique malgré soi ». Cette tentation n’est pas en contradiction avec la méfiance que Cioran manifeste à l’égard des sciences du langage, ni avec les enjeux pragmatiques de sa philosophie négative. This article aims to put into perspective Cioran’s aphoristic work under the nonexclusive angle of style and to report on an “aesthetic despite itself”. It also attempts to show that this temptation for a literary aesthetics is not in contradiction with Cioran’s distrust for language sciences, or with the pragmatic issues of his negative philosophy.
