Bardyn, Christophe. "Montaigne, la politique et la religion : le moyenneur de la paix." Paris, EHESS, 2012. http://www.theses.fr/2012EHES0118.
Full textThe aim of this work was to determine Montaigne's position in the midst of the civil and religious wars of his time. We took for granted that, in this context, political commitment could not be separated from religious concern. As for philosophy, we suggested that Montaigne is a mitigated cynic, wich allowed us to explain some of his contradictions. In the first Part, the most significant point is the role of political authority to solve conflicts, and an utter preferences for republicanism. Reading the Essais, we understand Montaigne's political thought as centered upon the theme of frankness, both a freedom and sincerity, leading us a new towards a cynical statement. The second Part of our work bears more specifically on Montaigne's religion. We first examined the grounds of the opinion according to wich Montaigne would have been an excellent catholic. A confrontation between Montaigne and Augustine fills most of this Part of our work. The result of those analyses was that Montaigne opposes each and every fundamental thesis of Augustine, as much metaphysical ones as ethical or theological ones. Montaigne eventually appears as a thinker most concerned by the political impact of religious theses and desirous to find merely political solutions. He is a moyenneur and an irénique. His endeavor to propose an original solution to the theological-political problem of his time led to a renewal of the literary forms

Full textOur study shows that Montaigne’s rhetoric has some relationships with commonplace-book method, which constitute an important part of school curriculum in the Sixteenth Century, and with the concept of loci communes.The first part describes the history and evolution of rhetorical concept, locus and loci communes, from antiquity to the Renaissance. After studying theories for rhetorical education written by Erasmus and Melanchthon, we outline precisely the mechanism, function and influence of commonplace-books.The second part makes analysis of the use of quotations in the Essays. Montaigne compose them with random order so that the Essays get close to miscellanies. We examine also the use of loci communes of traditional rhetoric in the Essays. Montaigne shows us a fine collaboration of rhetoric and skepticism in the chapter of « Apology of Raimond de Sebonde ». The last part places the Essays on the historical context of the second-half of sixteenth century. We envisage particularly Montaigne’s brevity of style in relation to his preference for writers of the Silver-Latin. Finally, we wish to make it clear Montaigne’s intention and objective of writing, which allow to distinguish the Essays from Commonplace-Books
Roger-Vasselin, Bruno. "L'ironie et l'humour chez montaigne dans les essais." Paris 3, 2000. http://www.theses.fr/2000PA030036.
Full textThe object of this thesis is to demonstrate why Montaigne’ s conscience of his personal, social and literary uniqueness leads him to an attitude which combines irony and humour as a special means of distance throughout the Essais. Distanciation is to be understood as a means by which to penetrate the reality, to master its elements and difficulties, to render it more human while transposing it on a playful and ludicrous scale. All aspects of laughter share this distance which does not exclude the self implication of the user. This self implication is somewhat immunised by the power of laughter which untangles agressions on blunts the spurs of this reality. Ironic distance is called distanciation, humoristic distance understatement. The first part of this thesis deals with the various literary, social and ethical models upon which Montaigne situates himself and takes his distances. The second and third parts are focused on irony as a source of truth and humour as an element of health, neither truth nor health being incompatible. Both attitudes comprise three tendancies each which are successivly studied : irony is expressed through satire, scepticism and distanciation, humour through charge, mirth and politeness

Full textWriting and reading are selective activities. One could always choose a different phrase to express oneself, or understand the other in a different way; one could always write more text, read more text or read more into a text; there is no end to the virtual meaning and proliferation of words. The reason we're rarely aware of the contingency and limitlessness of language is that contexts and conventions restrain its use. In the case of literary communication - a process that spans from the writing of a text to each of its subjective readings - these restrictions tend to be weak. The premise of my study is that some literary texts manifest a in a particularly ostentatious way. As readers, we do not know yet what precisely it is, but it is apparent to us that the author has dealt with an excess, that the text produces irreducible semantic or discursive surplus, that
Beuvier, Clément. "La notion de 'bonne foy' au XVIe siècle." Electronic Thesis or Diss., Tours, 2023. http://www.theses.fr/2023TOUR2021.
Full textThis thesis focuses on the notion of “bonne foy”, described in the sixteenth century as a fundamental moral, political and religious norm. From a first point of view, it refers to the requirement to keep one's word, and is at the centre of a discourse that is formed at the crossroads of law, moral philosophy and literature, whose main sources, privileged exempla and conceptual structure are analyzed in this thesis. Through the study of specific cases, the ai mis to highlight the specific content of the notion in the French context of the sixteenth century, particularly evident in literary works such as Jean de Beaubreuil's Regulus (1582) or Michel du Rit's Le Bon François (1589). A study of this kind, however, shows that the uses of “bonne foy” cannot be reduced to the paradigm of given word alone, where “bonne foy” consists first and foremost in being faithful to a word kept against all odds, according to the ideal of constancy overcoming circumstances. In the corpus we have collected, “bonne foy” consists, on the contrary, in taking account of circumstances and anything that goes beyond the strict letter of the words. This is what a legal study of the notion shows : bona fides first appeared in Roman law, and underwent a decisive theoretical development in the learned law of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, in which it was gradually linked to the paradigm of equity. The notion is based on a certain mistrust of the consequences, contrary to what is good and true, to which an overly literal interpretation of words can lead. This aspect determines the uses of “bonne foy” outside the law, where we can observe this transposition of a moral category into the field of interpretation. This transformation of the requirement of fides that is at work in the notion constitutes the main object of this work, which explores the tension between two requirements that “bonne foy” expresses without them overlapping perfectly: on the one hand, to assert the obligatory force of the words held by men, and on the other, to subordinate the words to the intention that animates them and to the conditions of their enunciation. The “bonne foy” thus tends to be defined within a hermeneutic ethic whose two privileged processes are as follows : the recognition by someone that they were in error, and the correct interpretation of another's words. Basically, the notion is defined as a relationship to knowledge and language. The study of “bonne foy” in the Essais, which brings this work to a close, focuses on Montaigne's singular use of a notion that is closely linked to the gnoseology developed in the work, based on the recognition of ignorance
Chappé, Raphaël. "Montaigne, Spinoza, Feuerbach : l’homme en question." Paris 10, 2013. http://www.theses.fr/2013PA100164.
Full textI take as my starting point Althusser’s theoretical anti-humanism (directed in particular against Feuerbach) and more recent analyses on alienation, a notion that was precisely contested by Althusser insofar as it refers to humanism understood as the recognition of a subject that is self-determining. In order to shed light on what is at stake in this tension, I examine the positions of three philosophers who differentiate themselves from this “humanist” paradigm that has held a dominant position in the modern era: Montaigne, Spinoza, Feuerbach. I seek to establish that they form a historico-philosophical line and that there are historical pathways and important analogies between them. The very way they distinguish themselves respectively from doctrines of human “dignity,” from Descartes’ “real distinction,” and from the different varieties of subjectivity in German idealism entitles me to draw the comparison. These converging positions are always built on the background of a separation between philosophy and theology and are made up of both an anti-humanist perspective and a concern for constituting a natural anthropology. If man remains at the center of their discourses, they are not dealing any more with “humanist” subjectivity. Naturalizing man contributes each time to depriving him of his traditional prerogatives and to making room for conceiving what alienation amounts to. I reach the conclusion that these authors, who have put passions and sensibility in the core of man, satisfy two apparently contradictory requirements: the anti-humanist test, and the required elaboration of a concept of alienation to which they belong from a proto-historical point of view

Full textRecent research has opened the way to a better understanding of ancient consolatory traditions and the forms of their revival during the Renaissance. This dissertation aims at studying how they may have influenced Montaigne’s writings from the edition of works by La Boétie (1571-1572) to the publication of the Essais in 1595. This legacy does not only involve the reading and re-writing of ancient texts, it also establishes a dialogue with some practices that were contemporary to the author, whether they be social, philosophical or literary. The essay on consolatory traditions displays a critical analysis of these practices but also a shifting and protean experience and it singles itself out as a real assessment of these procedures. While constantly referring to the consolatory thesaurus, Montaigne also devotes himself to bending and altering these traditions which he questions without dismissing them altogether. A rhetorical analysis based on the treatises on letters (Erasm, Fabri), poetry (Scaliger) or speeches (Vossius, Keckermann) reveals the actual use, up to the last chapters and on the Bordeaux Copy, of a type of parenesis that irony alone cannot invalidate. This mode of expression connects an "I" and a "You" that do not correspond exactly to the author and the reader. In this in-between area, we can find the search for an autonomy and a singularity in the way of expressing oneself and experiencing life, a process that can only become meaningful if it calls upon and appeals to the other

Full textIn the Essays, Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) reports a considerable number of stories taken from his readings, his own experiments or those taken from the people around him. The first part of this study answers the question about the types of these. The second part is mainly devoted to the examination of their sources. The last part insists on the way Montaigne appropriates the accounts of others in his text. We first see the formal aspects of them. Then we tackle the study of the fitting of the stories because we find rather particular cases like reporting a very long story, or giving the same one several times, or aligning a series of stories. Lastly, we try to define the roles the stories play in the text. We present three possibilities: they are used to illustrate one idea, they intervene as a precept or they launch or start again the reflection. Our work finishes thus on confirming the close relationship between the stories and the reflection or the opinions of Montaigne
Joly, Elisabeth. "Une stratégie de la relation amoureuse dans les "Essais" de Montaigne." Bordeaux 3, 2003. http://www.theses.fr/2003BOR30014.
Full textA feeling of inadequacy caused by the physical experience of smallness, the fascinating examples of great men arouse in Montaigne a wish to reach himself greatness and to find in it recognition and love. Through the paradoxical ostentation of weaknesses, writing offers himto impose his singularity and show some presumptuousness. Yet his excessive desire becomes source of an impotence, against which he fights thanks to repressive and avoiding methods, up to its near annihilation by desease and old age, up to a balance between the tension of desire and his ability to satisfy it. Through the different periods of writing, arises a new side of desire : feeling, that appears through avowals of tenderness, the contradictory combination of obscenity and decency or reference to courtly model. Writing allows to achieve a love relation thanks to a favoured adress to women, stylistic and rhetoric means and leads to a phantasmatic begetting

Full textInvestigando a apresentação das ideias em Sobre versos de Virgílio, a tese demonstra como sua estruturação ambígua, onde tudo é constantemente negado por seus contrários, leva a um contínuo estado de confusão e perplexidade, tornando impossível a determinação lógica dos conceitos e conduzindo a um progressivo esvaziamento do texto enquanto signo direto do pensamento do autor. Por outro lado, partindo de uma perspectiva hermenêutica influenciada pela anatomia, a análise mostra que o uso sistemático e criativo das instâncias narrativas (autor, narrador, signatário), juntamente com a reunificação textual de diferentes Montaignes (presentes nos diversos estágio editoriais do ensaio), acaba por dissolver a própria noção de identidade a si do autor, tendo por consequência imediata sua disseminação em vários sujeitos diversos e contraditórios e, por fim, colocando em xeque a clássica percepção dos Ensaios com o nascimento da subjetividade moderna.
The present thesis is intended to demonstrate, grounded on the analysis of the contradictions founded in Sur des Vers de Virgile, how the ambiguous structure of this work in which everything is constantly denied through oppositions leads to a continuous state of confusion and perplexity. Thus, a logical determination of concepts happens to become impossible, which ends increasingly to a text that lacks of correspondence to its author in terms of meaning and coherence. Nevertheless, based on an hermeneutical perspective influenced by anatomy, the present research affirms that the permanent and original use of narrative elements such as author, narrator and signatory as well, as the presence of multiple Montaignes encountered in a unified text, as a result of the various editorial fases of the above-mentioned essay, pulverizes the very notion of self-identity of the author, consequently leading its division into many different and contradictional subjects, which jeopardizes the classical perception of the Essays as a founding stone of modern subjectivity.

Full textThe life of michel de montaigne, nobleman and author, opens with the formal break of a premature retirement. The ancient precepts, both stoical and epicurian, of a voluntarily circumspective intention are to be observed in this withdrawal into oneself. This approach especially confines the possessions of body and soul, which montaigne sees in the original terms of a marriage without hierarchy placed under the administration of judgment. Within the limits of this dominated, restricted domain, ancient philosophers traditionally threaten that any breach of confines results in changes of fortune and transports of passions. The guarantee of the self is thus paid at the price of a permanent tension that strives to reduce all designs to the self. In this over-tense attitude, montaigne's retirement refuses self-acknowledgement. It integrates a cautions distancing defined by the genteel codes of the times, which allow for close engagement in the exercise of the martial virtues. Moreover, it is surprised at the both ambitious and certain adventure of gun artillery and ocean navigation, which were the new arts of a mechanized appropriation of the distance. With montaigne, the philosopher's too rigid restraint is able to come to terms with the dominated emergence from the self, which is like alcibiades happily giving a lesson in adaptability to seneca

Cette recherche a conduit a une réflexion sur la question de l'éducation dans les Essais de Michel de Montaigne. Ensuit, dans le premier moment, nous avons cherché à comprendre les caractéristiques qui ont marqué l'écriture d´Essais, à savoir, la forme essayistique, une fois que la forme et le contenu sont associés quand nous parlons des textes montaigniens. De cette façon pars de cette particularité de l'écriture, nous avons sélectionné les chapitres dans lesquels le sujet est plus présent et aprés ce choix, nous avons cherché à comprendre les lectures que Montaigne a faite des penseurs gréco-romains, ainsi que l'influence qu'ils s´ont exercé sur l'essayiste, en plus, l´inflexions que Montaigne a opéré sur le thème de l'éducation. On pourrait affirmer que Montaigne, à plusieurs égards se distancie de ses prédécesseurs et au lieu de faire une proposition d´une éducation dans la conception universel, il propose un processus de formation très particulière, qu'il prend en compte les individualités de chaque sujet et prend comme référence ses propres expériences formatrices. Ainsi, Montaigne propose une éducation qui prend le monde comme un livre et qui il se produit de nombreuses différentes façons: avec le précepteur, avec des livres, à travers les voyages et le « commerce des hommes», à savoir, la «conversation ». Montaigne transmetre un nouveau signifié au terme conversation, qui étais pris généralement en considération, par les traités italiens, comme un art de parler bien, et le donne un sens formative que il s´approche de ce que Cicéron entendait par conversatio. De cette façon, Montaigne comprend la formation comme un processus continu et la «conversation» - conference - serait le moyen par lequel les âmes s´exerceraient et les hommes formeraient ses jugements pour vivre et mourir bien, et donc c´est une des étapes les plus significatifs de ce processus.Cependant, Montaigne va bien au-delà de ces questions pour développer une critique aux collèges de leur temps et l'éducation par rapport à des méthodes répétitives et les châtiments corporels au détriment de la défense d’une formation qui fait l’instruction doucement et que compte tenu de la singularité de chaque enfant, ce qu'Il rend que, leurs idées d'éducation, sont encore courant.
A presente pesquisa buscou investigar a temática da educação nos Ensaios de Michel de Montaigne. Para tanto, num primeiro momento, buscou-se entender as características que marcam a escrita dos Ensaios, ou seja, a forma ensaística, já que forma e conteúdo estão associados quando falamos dos textos montaignianos. Partindo dessa peculiaridade da escrita, selecionamos os capítulos nos quais o tema se faz mais presente e, a partir dessa escolha, buscamos compreender as leituras que Montaigne fez dos pensadores greco-romanos, bem como as influências que estes exerceram sobre o ensaísta, além de investigarmos as inflexões que Montaigne operou com relação ao tema da educação. Poder-se-ia afirmar que Montaigne, em diversos aspectos, se distancia de seus antecessores e ao invés de propor uma educação numa acepção universal, propõe um processo formativo muito particular, que leva em consideração as individualidades de cada sujeito e toma como referência suas próprias experiências formativas. Com isso, Montaigne propõe uma educação que toma o mundo como livro e se dá das mais diversas maneiras: com o preceptor, com os livros, por meio das viagens e no “comércio dos homens”, ou seja, pela “conversação”. Assim, Montaigne ressignifica o termo conversação, que comumente era tomado como uma arte de falar bem pelos tratados italianos, e atribui-lhe um sentido formativo que se aproxima daquilo que Cícero entendia por conversatio. Desse modo, Montaigne entende a formação como um processo constante, e a “conversação” – conference – seria o meio pelo qual as almas se exercitariam, e os homens formariam os seus juízos para viverem e morrerem bem, sendo, portanto, uma das etapas mais significativas desse processo. No entanto, Montaigne vai muito além dessas questões, ao desenvolver uma crítica aos colégios de seu tempo e à educação baseada em métodos repetitivos e em castigos corporais, em detrimento da defesa de uma formação que instrui docemente e que considera a singularidade de cada infante, e isto faz que as suas ideias sobre educação sejam tão atuais.

Full textIdentify the main characteristics of Education on Michel de Montaigne’s thought (France, 1533-1592), analyzing and relating influences and marking contributions of Skepticism on his philosophy and on his pedagogical and educational reflection is the first intention of this paper. For so, the itinerary built here intends to comprehend, initially, the historical conditions on which Montaigne’s thought was inserted, examining separately the most important modifications that happened in diverse atmospheres between the end of Middle Ages and Renaissance. The prominence is given for two decisive points: the philosophical-pedagogical modifications and the main characteristics of the Ancient Skepticism, which are recovered at the crisis’ environment of Renaissance, searching to create a space to think how the pre-Modern context of instability and uncertainness is decisive to comprehend the place and the function of Skepticism’s retaking, specially of Pyrrho’s Skepticism and its influences on Montaigne’s thought.In the following, it goes toward Montaigne’s essential ideas about Education, inserting them under historical conditions and essayistic prerogative of his thought, making reflections about some signs and presences of Skepticism on his educational essays. In the end, on a third moment, it turns attention to the most specific theme of relation between Skepticism and Education on Montaigne’s philosophy, analyzing the paper of equipollency and judge suspension (fundamental elements of Pyrrho’s Skepticism) at the new pedagogical manner initiated by Essais author, laying foundations for the heart of Montaigne’s critic on dogmatism and its anti-educational paper, and restoring validity of doubt’s educational paper at the constant process of independent/autonomous subjects formation.

Full textThe list of greek and latin sentences from Montaigne’s librairie was made up in 1861. Since then, they have just been reprinted with a few changes. There has never been any critical edition of those. In order to set up this edition, it had been necessary to make a historical review of the way the sentences were discovered: the process of the corpus from 1770 (Prunis) to 1861 (Galy and Lapeyre), the publishing of the list from 1900, the recent query about the function of location. It was especially necessary to reconsider the observance of palimpsest beams. Thus, we have been able to find out and identify 11 sentences, unmentioned so far, all of whom are added to the 55 ones already known. An addendum shows photographs of those writings, and a few paintings of the "cabinet" nearby, with plans. Our research work takes into account the librairie and the cabinet, including texts and pictures altogether. Whenever we reach for potential patterns, we deal with traditional ecclesiastic libraries, testimonies from humanists' dwellings, and stocks of drawings and engravings. The roman letters of the inscriptions can come from ancient epigraphy, the greek letters owe much probably to typographic usages. Prior to the 1580 version of the Essais, the sentences allow us a better understanding as for the time when and the way how Montaigne proceeded from inscriptions to writings. They bring up prime information about the biography and the readings of Montaigne’s (Stobaeus, Diogenes, Sextus Empiricus, Gellius, Erasmus; perhaps Campensis, a hebraist paraphrasing the book of ecclesiast?), but also about the relationship between the librairie and the book. When quoted, translated and paraphrased, they make up a lasting intertext of the Essais, a “gardoire” of ancient sentences and a source alive for further ones

Full textThe journey undertaken by Montaigne between 1580 and 1581 through Switzerland, Germany and Italy as part of treatment for kidney-stones, may also be interpreted as an ontological quest, part of the womb-image of the labyrinth. The passage through the labyrinth is a decoding venture focusing essentially on temporality and identity. It involves placing the imaginary at the centre of the relationship with the world that Montaigne explores. Indeed, images give structure to his relationship with space, time and the world. Both journey and descriptive elements reveal a geography of the mind, offering the kaleidoscope of possible representations of the Minotaur : fear, obsessions and a suffering body. In order to counter this exile from himself and regain an equilibrium outside death itself, Montaigne develops a strategy involving distance and participation. Thus, in the quest for identity, the mask, which allows one to experiment with a metaphorical existence, is the instrument of revelation and the "limp" is the adapted method. The imagination of a peaceful positive environment further allows one to counterbalance negative images, while an attitude of acceptance begins toform However, in order to reconcile the postitive and negative aspects of the atavistic stone, the presence of death deep within the body, it is necessary to move inside Montaigne's text. This, after all, is the real seat of initiation. Both the journey and the act of writing are bound up in the dynamics of removal, a process involving separation, but which ultimately helps to nourish a harmonious internal dialogue. Thus the text probes depths which lead to the archè of the ego and of literature. The network of images connected with the Beginning, shows itself capable of annihilating death. Curious in regard to the mysteries of creation, Montaigne's text is full of archaic signs which bring one face-to-face with a mythical illud tempus. Thanks to the workings of the imagination, it leads one along the path of reconciliation which reunites the individual with himself and with the world

Full textThis work attempts to examine to what extent Montaigne's anthropological approach in the Essais generates a profound renewal of the "notion of what constitutes Man". Montaigne commits himself to the philosophical point of view. We focus on the discours on the passions. Confronting the Essais with the corpus of moral writings of his contemporaries, it may be observed how Montaigne lifts the perception of man out of its usual explanation, and submits the traditional anthropological discussion to critical scrutiny.

Full textThe first one that extends over the first two chapters analyzes the way by which the religious wars of the era have found their justification in God. In the first chapter, we try to analyze the discursive vector of the divine ire whereas in the second chapter, we investigate the relationship between the tide of a battle and the elect sign that is supposed to give to the winner.
The second problem, that deals with various attempts of pacification, forms the third chapter of this paper. It focuses on the efforts undertaken by some "well intentioned" jurists to end "fratricidal" wars by royal by-laws (edits) whose unfortunate results are to stir up hatred among different ideological factions.
The fourth chapter is a reflection on some criticism stated by XVI century thinkers who perceived actual wars as lacking religious foundation, and even as a carnage where nobody really knew why the fighting was going on.
Finally, we put forward some hypotheses on the specificity of the Essais in the sociodiscursive context of this age.

Full textStarting from the analysis of the production and distribution methods that promoted the dissemination of Michel de Montaigne’s Essays in Spain during the 17th Century, this thesis tackles the process of reception and appropriation of the French author by some sectors of the Habsburg Court at Madrid. In order to do this, it focuses on the study of the origins of the copies of the Essays that have reached us, on the history of the libraries of the period that possessed some printed edition and on the works of those Spanish writers that quoted, either expressly or in a veiled form, some passages thereof. The cornerstone of the research is constituted by the diplomatic transcription and the historic and linguistic scrutiny of the handwritten translation of the first book of the Essays, carried out between 1634 and 1637 by the former Carmelite friar Diego de Cisneros, theologian and collaborator of the Holy Office. After being included in the Index of forbidden books in 1632 and, whilst fully at war with France, Diego de Cisneros, encouraged by the Inquisitor Pedro Pacheco, a personal friend of Francisco de Quevedo, commenced the task of accommodating the Montaigne’s thought to Roman Catholic orthodoxy. The result is a faithful version that includes some minor errors and amendments that do not affect the general sense of the work, as well as numerous warnings on the more compromising phrases or words that had to be read with care and caution

Full textThis study aims to examine Montaigne’s friendship with La Boétie from the perspective of readership. The first part, “We the readers of Montaigne”, reflects upon reading and interpretation. Following A. Compagnon’s studies on the question of reading in Montaigne’s Essays, we will adopt as paradigm Augustine’s exegesis which draws inspiration from ancient rhetoric and grammar. The relationship that the Bishop of Hippo observed between the Old and the New Testament will enable further reflection regarding « Montaigne and La Boétie ». The second part, “Montaigne editing La Boétie’s Editor”, attempts to survey La Boétie’s works published in 1570 by Montaigne. As these publications closely follow his translation of Raymond Sebond’s Natural Theology and the retirement of the editor, it is necessary to first situate them in context of Montaigne’s biography. We will proceed to consider the editorial principal of the Mesnagerie, which led Montaigne to publish his friend’s works, accompanied by the letter-prefaces which he saw fit to place at the beginning, before investigating the last words he attributed to La Boétie. The third and last part, “Montaigne reading La Boétie”, will first approach the problem of the center of Book I of the Essays, supposedly reserved to La Boétie’s Discourse on Voluntary Servitude. We will proceed to consider the relationship that Montaigne had wished to establish between his own work and his friend’s masterpiece, before examining this latter’s presence in the Essays by comparing their works

Full textThe thesis examines the works of Michel de Montaigne focusing the research on his famous "Essays" and "The Diary of Montaigne's Travels". The author of the thesis manifests the existence of the "interartistic phenomenon" in the historical context of the Renaissance and its evolution from ancient philosophy (Horace -Ut pictura poesis, Philostrate -ekphrasis) through Renaissance thought (Leonardo da Vinci's Paragone ("comparison of the arts")) to modern ideas whereas the research is done from a theoretical point of view. The "interartistic phenomenon" expresses the relation arising between arts at the time of an aesthetic perception of a work of art. The aim of the research is to study the work of Montaigne as a work of art in first place. The varieties of the "interartistic phenomenon" which exist in the work of Montaigne are analyzed in light of the artistic vocabulary he is using to qualify his work. The author of the thesis takes notice of the interartistic conception in the work of Montaigne revealed by the convergence of nature and art, particularly in the diary of Montaigne's travels

Full textWhat conception of civilisation did the French have in the XVI century, and, more specifically, how did they represent their own civilisation ? What image can be fashioned of French culture and "civilité" when the word "civilisation" did not exist in the language ? Two emblematic exemples are dealt with here. The image given of the idea of civilisation is made in the context of the reality of contemporary history - the discovery of the New World and the encounter with different kinds of human being and other forms of culture and society. The representations juxtapose the idea of civilistion with barbarism and savagery. The subject is the entry of Henri II into Rouen in 1550 with the famous "fête brésilienne", and, in a wider context, the works of Michel de Montaigne. Although fundamentally different, these views have as common idea a positive representation of "savages". They demonstrate that the literary legend of the "noble savage" is tipically French cultural phenomenon which begins around this time and continues to the present day in various guises, not only in French literature but, more significantly, in the French imagination. The thesis is based on the negative character give by Montaigne of the idea of civilisation. How did the writer react to the various aspects involved in this idea - technical progress, method of judicial repression, "civilité" and politeness, culinary refinement ? The criticism that Montaigne formulates against "civilisation" combined with his positive vision of the primitive life, are the roots of another cultural phenomenon that has been called "the sickness of the civilised world" that can be applied to things French

Full textMontaigne, in his Essays as read in light of their particular context rather than in a classically Cartesian way, identifies the rhetorical frameworks peculiar to Renaissance thought and distances himself from them. This criticism, however, is only one of both sides of his philosophical work. Indeed, he develops an original method of inquisition in an immanent way, arriving at concepts which will occasionally irrigate classical and Cartesian philosophy. His approach can nevertheless also be read as a proper model for thought, surprisingly echoing contemporary epistemological posture
Tsakas, Aurelie. "Les Essais de Montaigne : un "exercice spirituel" ?" Thesis, Aix-Marseille, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018AIXM0727.
Full textThe concept of spiritual exercise, proposed by Hadot, refers to practices born in ancient Greece and prolonged in Christian meditations. Opposed to theoretical philosophy, they pursue the ambition of learning to act better and to know oneself. The thesis proposes an overview of this tradition which is associated with examining precise texts of various periods, in order to put into perspective the Montaigne Essays which reclaim this tradition by pursuing the project of defining an art of living. At the end of the sixteenth century, the trust that the ancients brought to reason is no longer applicable : can we still consider mastering ourselves or even knowing ourself ? The Christians believe this is possible, by having recourse to divine grace. The exercises that Montaigne proposes are strictly human and ordinary. Taking the example of an idealized figure of Socrates, also associated with that of the Indian cannibal, the author of the Essays intends to promote a more « naïve » and « primitive » relationship to oneself. It requires to do self-work that only naturalized exercises can achieve. The impulses of fantasy participate in the process in the same way as the work of reason, whereas the latter acquires the right to dream. He does not give up the idea of setting himself up as a master of himself, taking up the Stoic method of transforming the inevitable into a choice. At the moment when the Counter-Reformation requires repentance, spiritual exercises allow Montaigne to discover and assume what he is. And when Neo-Stoic treatises look for tranquillitas animi, he assumes the role of agitator, proposing exercises that maintain movement, conceived as vital impetus

Full textThis study aims at showing how montaigne deals with the concept of man's dignity in his essais. A diachronic and structural analysis outlines and traces in the writings of the renaissance the ideological presuppositions of dignity at work prior to montaigne. Once having established the idea that dignitas hominis is an utterance potentially present in every type of speech, the utterance and its constituant motifs are shown to undergo deconstruction in the essais through montaigne's " grammarian " processing. His critical work aims at rewriting man's place within new boundaries in order to redefine human grandeur. Therefore, montaingne's reconstruction of man's excellence is brought to light as a new value testifying to a double change in the history of ideas. Human dignity is a concept connected with an awareness of other, and it finds its roots solely in the quest for personal appropriateness. Man's excellence after montaigne can no longer be construed as a heteronomous utterance but as part of the building of self

Full textThis study aims to link the ethical and political notion of prudence to the theological and spiritual notions of providence and sainthood in the works of Baltasar Gracian and Michel de Montaigne. The first part of this study analyses the way in which the term "prudence" is characterized by each author. We find that Gracian's and Montaigne's characterizations of prudence pleces this virtue in the realm of the sublime. The second and last part of this study examines the theological content of this ethical version of the sublime in light of the concepts of providence and sainthood. We conclude that as the virtue of practical reason as well as the virtue which directs all other virtues, prudence is analogous to providence (because of its superior causality) as well as sainthood (because of its exemplary and heroic functions). This analysis allows us to link Gracian's "baroque" ethics and aesthetics with the transcendent, since sainthood is, essentially, spectacular
