Laurent Vogel (This file was produced from images generously made available by the Bibliothèque nationale de France (BnF/Gallica)) "Les Sources" by Alphonse Gratry is a collection of philosophical reflections written in the late 19th century. The text primarily addresses the cultivation of one's intellectual and spiritual faculties, emphasizing the importance of silence, solitude, and rigorous study for personal growth and enlightenment. Gratry specifically targets young, aspiring scholars who seek a deeper understanding of life and their place within it. The opening of "Les Sources" presents a series of wise and contemplative guidelines for achieving clarity of thought and a closer relationship with God. The author begins by urging his readers to embrace silence and solitude as essential conditions for true intellectual work. He cautions against the distractions of contemporary life, arguing that deep personal reflection is necessary for acquiring wisdom. Gratry also underscores the importance of writing as a means of self-discovery and understanding, suggesting that morning hours should be dedicated to this sacred task. Ultimately, he encourages readers to approach their studies as a form of divine conversation and to engage with the deeper truths of existence as they seek to learn and grow.
