"Science sans conscience n'est que ruine de l'âme" is a dictum by Rabelais, recorded in the second book of Gargantua and Pantagruel from a letter from Gargantua to his son. The dictum is not recorded in all editions.
- "Mais parce que, selon le sage Salomon, sapience n’entre point en âme malivole, et que science sans conscience n'est que ruine de l'âme, il te convient servir, aimer et craindre Dieu, et mettre en lui toutes tes pensées et tout ton espoir; et, par foi formée de charité, être à lui joint, en sorte que jamais tu n’en sois séparé par péché."[1]
It translates as "science without consciousness is nothing but the ruin of the soul."
This translation is found in Stanzas: Word and Phantasm in Western Culture (1993) by Giorgio Agamben:
- "In this way , criticism interprets the precept of Gargantua : "Science without consciousness is nothing but the ruin of the soul.” What is secluded in the stanza of criticism is nothing, but this nothing safeguards unappropriability ..."
