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

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
Ordynski, Rémi. "Montaigne et les traditions de consolation, « pour moy, ou pour un autre »." Electronic Thesis or Diss., Paris 3, 2023. http://www.theses.fr/2023PA030055.
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
Filho, José Alexandrino de Souza. "Civilisation et barbarie en France au temps de Montaigne." Bordeaux 3, 2003. http://www.theses.fr/2003BOR30057.
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
Aponte-Olivieri, Sara. "Prudence, Providence et sainteté dans les œuvres de Baltasar Gracian et Michel de Montaigne." Grenoble 3, 2009. http://www.theses.fr/2009GRE39018.
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

Full textThe study of the emotions in the Essais of Montaigne shows a complex phenomenon, which demonstrate the great assumption of the Montaigne’s anthropology: man is an undividable unity of body and soul. Like human being, the emotion is a mixture experience that has a double aetiology: it raise in the body and in the soul. For his particular constitution, man is naturally subject to « nombre infiny des passions », and the wisdom of the Essais is nothing else that the ability of governing and harmonising the emotional forces, for realise the only human possible perfection: enjoy the proper life in his immanent singularity (sçavoir jouyr loiallement de son estre). For that goal, the moral philosophy needs to know the real physiological and psychological powers and limits of human being, because wisdom must be useful et practicable. The knowing of the body in the Essais will lead to a deconstruction of the hylomorphic psychology and to the affirmation of the independence and autonomy of the body’s dynamism: the experience of the involuntary actions and sensible emotions arise without any reference to the aristotelic psyché, and the soul fell this events as affections. On the other side, the psychological knowledge tries to understand, b the introspection, the psychological acts (linked to imagination and judgement) that constitutes the emotions of the soul. By that understanding, the soul discover his power of arising the emotions, that witch give him the concrete possibility of manage the conflicts and the tensions between passions, using the power of other different passions. This process, in the third book of the Essais, sketch a real discipline of the soul that is an administration of the soul’s emotions («passions de l’ âme») and of the body’s emotions («passions corporelles»): the soul has to rest in connection with his body, and in doing so it can intensify the psychosomatic unity. It is in that unity, constantly reaffirmed, that man has access to the enjoyment of his proper being and to the moral perfection
Zuo, Tianmeng. "Montaigne-voyageur : la question de la représentation du « moi » dans le Journal de voyage et dans Les Essais." Thesis, Paris 4, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016PA040093.
Full textFrom travel culture and the study on the mentality of the traveler in the Renaissance, by comparing the travel writings at the time of Montaigne, this study progressively reveals the idea of travel that Montaigne conceived and practiced during 1580 and 1581, in Germany, Switzerland and Italy. He considers this long trip abroad as a walk, or rather walks, in different places. That’s the peculiarity in Montaigne’s thoughts: the walk is, by nature, a way of amusing oneself. However, Montaigne-traveller transforms this process into an art of travelling that seeks to feel pleasure on his road, in order to restore a melancholy soul and an unbalanced state, initial reason for his departure.In terms of literary creation, the two works convey two distinct genres of representing Montaigne’s stay abroad. The Montaigne’s Travel Journal, accomplished by his secretary and by Montaigne himself, represents the "me-traveller" from the point of view of the traveller on the road. And The Essays, by inserting some pieces during this stay abroad, they represent a "Montaigne-traveller" from the point of view of the essayist, who undertakes an introspection of his "me-traveller" and his travel experience after his return to France. Thus, this writing variation causes a shift in the reading of two books on the same theme of travel. But "Montaigne-traveller" also plays the role of the essayist during his journey, in the sense of experimentation, and resumes his position of writer-essayist in The Essays
Fouah, Emmanuel. "Voix et voies de l'auteur : aspects de l'énonciation dans les discours de Rabelais et de Montaigne." Thesis, Tours, 2012. http://www.theses.fr/2012TOUR2019.
Full textThis study shows literary and linguistic stakes of the realization of enumerative parameters in Rabelais' and Montaigne's works. These texts build particular scenographies by which the authors portray themselves. The linguistic factors of this discursive configuration are examined according to issues of connection modalities with oneself, with the discourse and with the readers. To that purpose, the analysis stresses the study of deictic units which actualize situation of utterance. Moreover, it connects textual content to the historical context. Such an approch reveals the whole complexity of author's figure in Rabelais' and Montaigne's discourses and considers some aspects of subjectivity in the Renaissance
