Watson, Stephen H. "Montaigne’s of Cruelty and the Emergence of Hermeneutic and Intercultural Modernity: Three Rival Readings." Journal of Chinese Philosophy 42, no. 1-2 (March 3, 2015): 62–85. http://dx.doi.org/10.1163/15406253-0420102006.

Abstract:

While classical interpretations of hermeneutics have often identified themselves with Montaigne, others have contested not only whether Montaigne is committed to an account of a hermeneutic self, but whether a hermeneutics of traditional or self-identity (or differentiation) is either possible or desirable. This article will investigate the continuing viability of hermeneutics through contested interpretations of Montaigne undertaken from the varying standpoints of phenomenology (Merleau-Ponty), psychoanalysis (Lacan), and critical theory (Horkheimer). These interpretations have shed significant light on Montaigne’s work and have in turn been further illuminated by it; they reveal not only something about the hermeneutics of Montaigne’s work, but about consciousness, and the timeliness of hermeneutics itself.

Abstract:

AbstractEarly English readers of Michel de Montaigne (1533–92) annotated their copies of John Florio's (1553[?]–1625) translation with remarkable frequency and vehemence, creating a context within which printed appropriations of the essayist may be fruitfully examined. No topic intrigued these readers more than custom. Drawing from transcriptions of over 4,000 marginal annotations and situating the Montaignean borrowings of William Shakespeare (1564–1616), Sir Francis Bacon (1561–1626), and other English writers within a culture of active reader response, this essay treats the Montaignean account of custom as a case study wherein differences between manuscript and print appropriation may be investigated. Montaigne's reception in seventeenth-century England cannot be understood without scrupulous attention to both traditions.

Abstract:

The linguistic and axiological features of the conceptualization of pedagogical views in the reflective discourse of Michel Montaigne are studied. A feature of the chosen research problem is the consideration of the text corpus of the historical personality of the 16th century from the point of view of reflexive discourse representation. The relevance of the research topic is due to the importance of addressing historically formed linguistic and cultural ideals (education, science, upbringing). The study was conducted based on the principles of anthropocentrism and narrativism, as well as using corpus text analysis methods (in an open online case Montaigne à l’Œuvre). For the first time, the modeling of the author’s pedagogical doctrine from the standpoint of its conceptual and value expression has been performed. The material base of the study is represented by 8 thematically selected chapters from Montaigne’s “Essais”, posted in an authentic Middle French orthographic version on the corpus MonLOE website. It is proved that Montaigne's work lays the conceptual and value foundations of humanitarian education, considered as a system of education and development of a person capable of building his own judgment. The analysis showed that Montaigne's pedagogical program is based on such components of the educational paradigm of the 21st century as developing, student-centered, individual learning and harmonious development.

Full text

Abstract:

Montaigne’s “Apology” is a lengthy work the overarching theme of which is the relationship between epistemology, virtue, and vice. It is a commentary on the thesis that science or knowledge “is the mother of all virtue and that all vice is produced by ignorance.” Montaigne’s response is radical and unequivocal: there is no idea more harmful; its consequences are no less than the destruction of inward contentment and the undermining of societal peace and stability. Indeed, Montaigne sees the Protestant Reformation as the instantiation of this terrible thesis, with all of the attendant trouble it had and continued to cause in France. So Montaigne inverts the thesis: ignorance begets virtue and (presumption of ) knowledge vice. Out of this inversion he draws many conservative social and political consequences, and this is one of the most interesting and yet underexplored aspects of the text. Montaigne exhibits the conservatism of the Counterreformation in the “Apology,” and I intend to draw more attention to this theme. I show that Montaigne’s main target in the “Apology” was not dogmatism as such, but Protestantism as a species of dogmatism. I then show that, by using a few elementary epistemic concepts, Montaigne launches a withering skeptical attack on the Reformation. Out of this criticism I draw some important conservative themes that have significant implications for our understanding of Montaigne’s social and political thought, as well as for conservative political theory and its intellectual history.

Abstract:

"Montaigne has traditionally been attributed a certain mastery of classical Greek. One of the arguments is the inclusion in his essays of abundant Greek quotations, some of them translated into French. It has never been disputed that Montaigne used anthologies to include classical quotations in his Essays, especially of Stobaeus, and that he was probably assisted by the Latin translation of Conrad Gessner. Some cases suggest that Montaigne, when translating the Greek quotations into French, followed the Latin version even when he disagreed with the original. These cases must be considered in order to better gauge Montaigne’s level of knowledge of the Greek language"

Full text

Abstract:

AbstractOne of the key episodes of Michel de Montaigne's trip to Rome (1580–81) was his visit to the Vatican Library, which he comments upon in his Journal de voyage, posthumously published. Strangely enough, few scholars have paid close attention to what Montaigne says about the selection of manuscripts and printed material he consulted there on 6 March 1581. He claims that he was given free access to that Wunderkammer, and scholarly research shows that his wish list indeed reflected his taste for irony, humor, and cultural diversity, ranging from Greco-Roman manuscripts to Egyptian papyrus and a Chinese booklet. At the same time, a case could be made for interpreting the selection, not as Montaigne's, but as the library custodian's, with Aquinas's sermons, anti-Lutheran material, and documents used at the Council of Trent. This paper tries to sort out to what extent the selection of books and items that Montaigne saw at the Vatican Library can be considered as the meeting ground between the interests of Montaigne himself as skeptic and the agenda of the Counter-Reformation.

The Pyrrhonian arguments used by Michel de Montaigne in his essay An Apology for Raymond Sebond are presented in detail in this paper. The paper explores the reasons that have induced Montaigne to utilize them in an apparently paradoxical context of Catholic apologetics. As a consequence of the influence this essay had exerted in the Early Modern philosophy, a considerable interest has been developed for the Ancient Skepticism, notwithstanding the fact that the Skeptical arguments were not always correctly interpreted in Montaigne's work.

Abstract:

In this text I am collecting and interpreting Michel de Montaigne’s reflections on the horses and horse-riding. I argue that there are two basic problems in which this theme was used by Montaigne: the fragility and unexpectedness of human life and body-mind relation. In both fields Montaigne proposed a re-evaluation in relation to the classical culture. In the first one, by interpreting Plato’s “practice of death” as an art of exposing oneself to an unexpected, and in the second, by linking mind activity with the bodily processes.

Abstract:

Since the first publication of the Essais in Bordeaux in 1580, readers of this work have recognized skepticism underlying the judgment of its author, Michel de Montaigne. Arguing that the Pyrrhonist school of skepticism relies upon cultural diversity, or that Montaigne was influenced by sixteenth-century proto-ethnographic accounts of European travellers to the New World, many scholars of the Essais have read “Des cannibales” (1, 31) as proto-anthropological. In my close reading of this chapter, however, I contend that Montaigne’s rhetorical use of equity, and not his debated practice of a proto-anthropological cultural relativism, shares a special reciprocity with his skeptical judgment in the Essais. Equity, a para-legal procedure that Montaigne used to judge while he was a magistrate in the Bordeaux parlement (1557–70), remains largely underdeveloped in scholarship on the Essais.

Full text

Abstract:

Phenomenologists have always been concerned with the relationships between their methods and the life that sustains and instructs them, and which are, in turn, instructed by it. In its most general form, it is a question of relationships between philosophy and non-philosophy. Maurice Merleau-Ponty conceives of these connections in terms of a reversible inside-outside dynamic from at least Phenomenology of Perception to his unpublished manuscripts. No philosopher better illustrates this dialectic of life and ideas than Michel de Montaigne, whose life and work are the subject of “Reading Montaigne” in Signs. This paper consists of a critical analysis of that essay, and thus forms a meta-inside/outside relationship in reading Merleau-Ponty reading his predecessor. The essay examines, among other things, how Montaigne’s writing provides an instructive example of the intertwining of life and ideas as Merleau-Ponty understood it as well as a puzzle about why he did not connect “Reading Montaigne” with the two chapters of Signs that concern language.

[Rehearsing the World and the Self – Montaigne and Gombrowicz] The article discusses intertextual, intellectual and poetological relations between Michel de Montaigne’s Essais and Witold Gombrowicz’s autobiographical project. The author shows that the Polish writer was inspired by the French classic’s open poetics and his concept of processual and interactional subject. Gombrowicz was also interested in more specific matters present in Montaigne’s work: philosophical praise of the body, criticism of scholasticism, opposition of the private to the public.

Abstract:

Noting that both the earliest readers of Montaigne’s Essais and their modern counterparts have likened them to a dialogue with a friend, this article seeks to explore the work’s dialogic characteristics. The humanist dialogue is an obvious precursor to the Essais, and even though Montaigne voiced dissatisfaction with Plato’s dialogues, he aspired to match Plato’s style, not least in achieving a conversational tone. Three different elements of dialogue are analysed : the “Dialogue of One” between the different parts of Montaigne’s mind, the dialogue between the author and the writers quoted and paraphrased, and the use of direct address to the reader to invite or provoke the reader to enter into dialogue with the author. This essay is concerned to show how Montaigne uses the dialogue to create an entirely new genre, poised between monologue and dialogue.

Full text

Abstract:

Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) contended that "Nature has committed herself not to make any other thing that was not different." On this assumption, the diversity and variability of sexuality instantiates the principle of Nature’s continuous branloire and gives the lie to the regnant scheme of binary sexual distribution. As a result of Montaigne’s Heraclitean approach of reality, the hypostatized categories of man and woman subtending the sexual bipartition of humanity become the internalized poles of the male/female opposition that configure the uniquely nuanced sexuality of the individual. Against this backdrop, Montaigne’s love of Étienne de la Boétie (1530-1563) emerges as the supersedure of the age-old distinction between same-sex and other-sex configurations. Signally, womanizing Montaigne gave a tense response to the question as to why he loved La Boétie: "Because it was he."

Abstract:

The differences between the second quarto (1604–1605) version of Hamlet’s soliloquy beginning ‘To be, or not to be’ and the version contained in the first quarto (1603) have often been used to argue for the authorial integrity of the former and the degenerate nature of the latter. However, recent research has questioned the customary primacy between these two texts, arguing instead that Q2 revises and expands Q1. This article will attempt to substantiate this interpretation by showing that Shakespeare’s revision of ‘To be, or not to be’ is inspired by Montaigne’s essay ‘By diuerse meanes men come vnto a like end’, translated by John Florio and published in 1603. Shakespeare’s indebtedness to Montaigne has been noted before, most notably in The Tempest. But it is significant that possibly Shakespeare’s first direct encounter with Montaigne is inspired by the very first three pages of Montaigne’s Essays.

Abstract:

Except for Étienne de la Boétie, the friend for ever gone but whose presence pervades the Essais so vividly, the reader can notice the nearly total – and therefore puzzling – absence of Montaigne’s mother, Antoinette de Louppes, contrasting with the recurrent mentions to his father, Pierre Eyquem. He will also encounter strange omissions, such as Montaigne’s silence on St-Bartholomew’s Day massacre, and telling lapses, for instance on the answers given to young King Charles IX by the cannibals from Brazil. Do the Essais really “tell everything” (On vanity, III, 9), as Montaigne claims they do?

Abstract:

The study deals with the question of the relationships among the conception of human nature, its cognition and education in Michel de Montaigne’s Essays. In the series of essays, Montaigne repeatedly rejects attempts to base his conception of human nature on antic- scholastic traditions operating with the general concepts of man. Montaigne’s specific Christian scepticism (“new pyrrhonism”) is the starting point and the argumentative method for rejecting the reliability of general concepts and definitions. Whereas scholastic (as well as predominantly entire ancient) philosophy assumed the existence of an ideal species to be the essence that determines each individual’s essential characteristics, Montaigne sees, on the contrary, man in the state of constant transformation, transition as crucial to understanding the human situation. This fundamentally transforms the traditional understanding of the relationship between a pattern and its imitation, into a relationship that has not only epistemological but also pedagogical and moral implications. Montaigne argues that subjectivity cannot be understood against the background of a general pattern, but only from itself, from ambiguities and paradoxes that, on the contrary, exclude, elude any generalization. Human nature cannot be captured in a general concept, it can only be exemplified from a specific experience. Thus, man is much more a transition (from one form to another) than a substance. The aim of this study is to show Michel de Montaigne as a modern and up-to-date thinker who, through his rhetoric and his way of grasping pedagogical issues, has opened up a number of educational questions that are relevant today: for example, how to understand the educational goal in a practical and informal way, how to work in education with the unique and the non-generalizable, and how to consider the relationship between knowledge and action.

Abstract:

Abstract: Nietzsche was an enthusiastic reader of Montaigne and loved the humanist's intellectual and physiological disposition which was similar to his own. The nature of this literary relationship is difficult to determine, because the traits that might make Montaigne a prominent figure in Nietzsche's text are exactly the ones that Nietzsche either internalizes completely or overdraws the most. One element which can be discussed in a contrastive analysis of both writers is that of style. My article shows that Nietzsche's style is formed by Montaigne's writing “en chair et en os”, by the imperceptibly subversive tums of his sentences as well as by the slyly ironic tone that prevails in many essays. This style goes hand in hand with an open form that has been influenced by the essay.

Abstract:

"The “philosophical” style specific to Montaigne’s Essays, totally devoid of demonstration and system, gives the reader the possibility of “essaying” an experience of his own reading, based on the idea that “Words belong half to the speaker, half to the hearer” (III, 13). Following Montaigne’s idea that selfishness is the basis of solidarity between men (the basis of society), we can detect two levels in this political conception: 1) on the one hand, the relationship between the individual subject and his own complex state; 2) on the other hand, the relationship of the individual to otherness. For Montaigne, the first level is a priority and, as his own political experience shows, the individual subject has above all the duty to remain true to himself and to his own temperament. The duty to serve others is secondary, occasional and moderate. To complete the ideas that can constitute a “map” of Montaigne’s political philosophy, we have analyzed – quantitatively and qualitatively – the contexts in which the French philosopher used the word “conflict”. The examples confirm the predominance of the interior level of the individual subject and less of the relationship of the individual to otherness. To be active in the public sphere, the individual needs modesty and moderation in the expression of his opinions, as well as a rational evaluation when he wishes major changes; otherwise, they risk doing more harm than good to others. The individual must struggle internally with the weapons of reason, so as not to give in to irrational desires – such as revenge or carnal desires – which would affect others, which is virtue. An inner balance is necessary, and the others will gain from this. Keywords: Montaigne, Essays, political philosophy, Renaissance, map, conflict, individual, society, political system, selfishness, solidarity, opinion, public life, moderation, otherness, private life, civil war"

Abstract:

This essay examines Montaigne's admiration for ancient Sparta from a rhetorical and an ideological standpoint. The praise of Sparta in the Essais takes the form of a paradoxical encomium which allows Montaigne to challenge the received opinions of his time and to define his own values against the prevailing discourse of humanism. In the process the Essais also confront the problem of comparing the past to the present and of reconciling ancient and modern institutions. In this way the praise of Sparta emerges not only as a rhetorical exercise but also as an essay of self-definition and an inquiry into historical relativism.

Full text

Abstract:

What might the Mass resemble among a people who never experienced the Fall? Montaigne's most famous essay, “Of Cannibals,” emerges as a radical response to this question when examined in the context of his time's religious polemic, a context from which the essay borrows much of its imagery. Unlike Protestant controversialists who disparaged Catholic eucharistic rites as barbarous, Montaigne suggests such religious prejudices prove little better than the cultural ones under which New World natives labored. He elects to pursue a line of religious inquiry opened up by Renaissance speculation that Amerindians might constitute a non-Adamite race in order to conduct a personal exploration of alternative practices of faith. This two-mindedness with regard to religion suggests that characterizations of Montaigne need to step beyond the categories of believer and unbeliever. Abandoning tendencies toward denominationalism and, more generally, toward affixing labels to heterodoxy allows for an investigation of the fully idiosyncratic experience of early modern belief.

Abstract:

DesEssaisde Montaigne, nous n’avons pas les carnets ; n’y a-t-il pas cependant une certaine fécondité théorique à essayer de lire lesEssaiseux-mêmes comme des carnets ? Une telle lecture, qui emprunte à la théorie des textes possibles son coup de force herméneutique tout en s’appuyant sur la théorie du carnettisme littéraire contemporain, met en évidence dans le constant travail d’annotation et de griffonnage de Montaigne une inversion inattendue : dans lesEssais, le carnet vient après le livre, et non pas avant. Cette hypothèse, qui s’inscrit dans une poétique du support matériel plutôt que de la forme, permet également d’examiner l’enjeu moral de ce griffonnage carnettiste.

Abstract:

Résumé Quelques rappels s'imposent d'abord, pour bien situer la question. Des « grotesques », voilà ce que sont les « essais », selon Montaigne, lorsqu'il présente l'architecture de son livre en 1580. C'est d'emblée (avec humour) s'inscrire dans l'esthétique maniériste de son temps : Maniérisme dont le sens est précisé et l'histoire rappelée à grands traits, dans sa vérité historique, précisément, ses caractères, son évolution. C'est la notion de « crise » qui est essentielle dans le Maniérisme européen, comme dans le Maniérisme critique et paradoxal de Montaigne, auquel est consacrée toute la dernière et principale partie dé l'article. De quelle crise multiple les Essais sont-ils le noeud ? Quelle sont les caractéristiques d'une écriture du « risque » (risque étant synonyme même d'essai), qui n'en finit pas de sonder les grands thèmes de la Renaissance maniériste et de son inquiétude propre ? Les modes d'une pensée prise dans un questionnement qui va jusqu'à l'inconfort le plus extrême ; les effets d'une expressivité « signifiante », entraînée dans la ligné spécifiquement maniériste de la « forma serpentina », qui est celle de l'essai (ou chapitre) ; là création en perpétuel devenir d'un autoportrait multiple, surpris dans son « passage » et dans son inachèvement même: bref, la «conduite» et toute la conception d'un livre marqué par une subjectivité qui ne cesse de se revendiquer comme indépendante et singulière font des Essais l'oeuvre entre toutes représentative de la « maniera moderna » de la Renaissance française.

Abstract:

this paper faces the hard and almost unexplored issue on Montaigne’s nominalism. It also contains interesting clues about the skepticism in the Middle Ages. It shows the most important extracts of the Essays that would be written under the nominalism’s influence. Most of the scholars even ruminate on that Montaigne translated a Middle Ages’ work. This road certainly leads us to the very few explored issue about the relationships between the Essays and the later Scholastic. Working with an edition of Montaigne’s translation (1581) of Sebond’s Theologia, this paper presents extracts from Sebond’s nominalism that were on the root of some extracts of the Essays.

Abstract:

Philippe Aries' hypothesis that parental indifference is inversely related to infant and child survival has proved to be particularly influential during the last four decades. Aries uses Montaigne's apparent indifference to the deaths of his own infant children as an example to support his case. But it can be argued on the basis of firmer supporting evidence not only that Montaigne was a caring father but also that infant and childhood mortality were not universally high in modern Europe.

A partir da ideia de que filosofar é duvidar, o artigo examina a relação do ceticismo de Montaigne com o ceticismo antigo. De um lado, mostram-se os elementos do ceticismo antigo de que Montaigne se apropria, como a divisão da filosofia em três seitas e o método cético da oposição. De outro lado, identificam-se as inovações introduzidas por Montaigne nesses mesmos elementos céticos. Finalmente, procura-se mostrar que Montaigne, com o projeto de pintar-se a si mesmo, desenvolveria uma maneira própria de duvidar.

In diesem Jahr 1992 wird an zahlreichen Kongressen und Tagungen des 400. Todestages von Michel de Montaigne gedacht (1533—1592). Ich komme der Aufforderung des Redaktors des Gesnerus gerne nach, einen Beitrag zu diesem Zentenarium, zu liefern. Als Anthropologe gehört Montaigne zweifelsohne auch zur Geschichte der Medizin. In der vorliegenden Abhandlung wird der Perigourdiner Michel de Montaigne in einzelnen seiner Auffassungen und Äusserungen dem aus Einsiedeln gebürtigen Paracelsus (Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim, ca. 1493— 1541) gegenübergestellt. Beide waren sich einig in der Kritik, die sie, jeder auf seine Art, an der Medizin ihrer Zeit ausübten. Montaigne hat mehrmals Paracelsus erwähnt. Beide sind heute noch modern; beide erleben in unserer Epoche eine Renaissance.

Abstract:

Contemporary psychology may be overlooking an important mode of inquiry by insisting that our primary mode of communication should take the form of scientific articles rather than that of literary essays. The essay was first practiced and then refined by Michel de Montaigne in the late Renaissance and constitutes a unique literary form that incorporates both Renaissance humanism and the then-emerging spirit of scientific discovery. The aim of the present essay is to explore the uses psychotherapists might make of Montaigne’s Essays, both as a fruitful model for writing about and for reflecting on the human condition. The essay was born at a time of great intellectual and spiritual upheaval and renewal. It is freewheeling, unorthodox, forever inventive, and at the same time learned, disciplined, and profoundly respectful of the past. The author looks to the humanist essay as developed by Montaigne as a useful literary and disciplinary device that can help in understanding the gap between purely theoretical or academic psychology and the actual practice of therapeutic psychology.

It will ask what lessons universities and their law schools can learn from reflecting on these mythical and real towers. Keywords: Tower of Babel; Montaigne’s Tower; ivory tower.

Abstract:

Montaigne prefaces the works of Etienne de la Boétie with a letter that Montaigne supposedly wrote shortly after the sudden death of his friend, whose last enigmatic words to Montaigne were: “make a place for me”. A close examination of the intertexts and rhetoric of the letter reveals that it can be read as a failed attempt by Montaigne to respond to his friend’s wish. The letter, indeed, fails to offer a true literary place to his friend who ceased to be a privileged addressee or reader, to become an absent object of discourse mentioned in the third person. Montaigne will try to “make a place” for his dead friend elsewhere, while writing his Essais, by developing a polyphonic mode of writing functioning as a substitute to the lost friendship. It will be argued that in the Essais, friendship, more that a mere content of discourse, becomes a form of expression.

Abstract:

Este texto analiza la obra de Michel de Montaigne y su relación con las transformaciones ideológicas y las nuevas relaciones de producción del siglo XVI. Los ensayos de Montaigne son un ejemplo característico de la autoconciencia y la independencia que la individualidad naciente busca mantener frente a las pretensiones de la vida comunitaria encasillada en la jerarquía del medioevo. Además, Montaigne rescató de la herencia cultural de la antigüedad preocupaciones y indagaciones sobre lo humano y en particular, las relativas al hombre privado. En su obra, Montaigne se interesa especialmente por la herencia moral, y busca estudiar la vida privada de los grandes hombres de la antigüedad para encontrar reglas de conducta. En conclusión, se destaca que Montaigne es un escritor crítico incluso para su época, y que su perspectiva distintiva sobre la vida privada de los personajes históricos lo distingue de otros historiadores de su tiempo.

Abstract:

This article proposes a comparison between the French Renaissance demonologist Jean Bodin and the fictional character Don Quijote. Like the hero of Cervantes’ novel, Bodin believes everything he reads. Consequently, Bodin makes his own discipline of demonology a species of romance that eagerly blurs the boundary of fact and fiction. This type of credulity can be usefully juxtaposed to Michel de Montaigne’s understanding of the imagination and to his more philosophical exploration of the realm of possibility.Keywords: Demonology, fiction, imagination, Jean Bodin, Cervantes, Montaigne.

Abstract:

This essay argues that the main instrument Montaigne, 16th-century French thinker and writer, used for creating a “new ontology,” as Nicola Panichi calls it (2004, 278), was language and a special style of writing. He, first of all, created – or revived from the Antiquity – a new genre most suitable for a new discourse, and christened it essai. Then he applied a method known in humanist schools of the Renaissance as ultraquem partem to relativise all previous thought. Finally, he employed a thorough, frank examination of his own behaviour, habits and preferences, adorned with Latin sentences, to promote self-analysis as a path to personal contentment. This article applies the theory of Bakhtin, a 20th-century Russian philosopher and sociolinguist, especially his essay “Discourse in the Novel” (“Слово в романе”), in the analysis of the peculiarity of Montaigne’s composition and its purposefulness in expressing at that time dangerous, but already prevalent worldview. Since battling medieval Christian thought was the paramount assignment of his endeavour, the quotes are mostly taken from Montaigne’s only essay – and by far the longest in the three-volume collection – entirely dedicated to religion, “Apologie de Raimond Sebond.”

Abstract:

The theme of travel, prominent in the essay "De la Vanité" (III, 9), and the subject of many of its "digressions," serves, in a sense, to disguise the more central and unifying theme of vanity. The question of vanity lies behind all of Montaigne's so-called "digressions" on travel, which are not really digressions from his stated theme at all, but rather ways of recasting and examining vanity in a more personal vein. Travel is perhaps the essayist’s chief vanity; yet, despite its inherent vanity, Montaigne takes great pleasure in this self-indulgence.
