The aim of this study is to revise existing theories of the Imamite turn towards rationalism. In the first chapter I discuss trends in Imamite thought during the period of the presence of the Imams; explore the impact of the Occultation on the Imamite community; and assess the character of the Imamite traditionism in the century after the Occultation. The bulk of the second chapter comprises a comparison of two texts: I`tiqadat al-imamiyya by Ibn Babuya, which represents Imamite traditionism during the first century of the Occultation, and Tas&dotbelow;h&dotbelow;ih&dotbelow; i`tiqadat al-imamiyya, which is a correction to Ibn Babuya's creed by his student al-Shaykh al-Mufid, considered the founder of the rationalist school in Imamism. Finally, in the conclusion I will address the conceptual problems found in the intellectual history of this stage of development in Imamite thought with reference to the recent work of Quentin Skinner. === Le but de cette étude est de réviser les théories existantes au sujet de la tournéeimamite vers le rationalisme.
