Description :
The best neurosurgeon in the world, Doctor Stephen Strange is one of those heroes caught up in fate. With an oversized ego, the man who shows off as much as possible and is contemptuous of his patients loses the use of his hands in an accident. It is there that he becomes, at the end of a physical and spiritual initiation, a great Master of the mystical arts. In this essay, Charline Lambert analyses Dr Strange's relationship with other levels of perception. After having embodied rational thought in all its splendour, the worthy representative of cold logic opens up to problems linked to belief and consciousness, in a dimension that goes beyond the visible and where knowledge, taken in the Western sense, must be abandoned in favour of a very Far Eastern detachment.
