Abstract

Les influences philosophiques qui marquèrent Virginia Woolf et son oeuvre sont liées aux philosophes qu'elle étudia ou rencontra. Le plus proche était son père, Leslie Stephen. Ont joué un rôle majeur également les membres de ce groupe de discussion secret et fermé connu sous le nom des Apôtres, les frères, ou la Société (de façon plus formelle encore, sous le nom de The Cambridge Conversazione Society). G.E. Moore y joua un rôle primordial (comme Rosenbaum l'a montré ailleurs), mais Woolf connaissait également d'autres Apôtres comme Bertrand Russell et Ludwig Wittgenstein. L'article étudie leur influence, décrit la Société dont l'héritage fut repris par le Bloomsbury Group Memoir Club.
