Krazek, Rafal B.

Montaigne et la philosophie du plaisir. Pour une lecture epicurienne des "Essais". - 304 p.

Adviser: Philippe Desan.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--The University of Chicago, 2007.

While several studies have been undertaken on Montaigne's attitude towards the skeptic, platonic, and stoic philosophies, no comprehensive analysis of Montaigne's Epicureanism has been offered to date. My Ph.D. thesis "Montaigne et la philosophic du plaisir. Pour une lecture epicurienne des Essais" (Montaigne and the philosophy of pleasure. An epicurean reading of the Essays) fills in this gap by examining closely Montaigne's profound engagement with epicurean philosophy and revealing its essential role in Montaigne's personal thought. Religion, naturalism, the concept of pleasure, and philosophy viewed as a medicine of the soul, are the four major themes of the Essays in which Montaigne's Epicureanism comes clearly to light. Indeed, Montaigne's epicurean rationalism reveals a plain inefficiency in the concept of faith on which the entire Christian religion is based. This in turn leaves the door wide open for the skeptical attitudes towards the Christian religion of coming generations. In Montaigne's mind, the religion has been replaced by a naturalistic view of the word. The praise of cannibals, peasants, and animals, as well as that of Socrates, in the Essays, all embodying in a natural way the precepts of the epicurean philosophy, illustrate Montaigne's profound naturalism. It is founded upon the concept of pleasure, which according to Montaigne constitutes the ultimate goal of human existence. For pleasure to thrive, it is however necessary to remove all obstacles in its path. Therefore Montaigne practices philosophy as a medicine of the soul, which heals all the wounds inflicted by frightening thoughts of death, sickness and pain---the usual lot of the human condition. Concisely, one can say that epicurean thought permeates every aspect of Montaigne's philosophical inquiry. The entire book of the Essays can indeed be understood as a continuous jumble of "atoms of thought" coming from different philosophical schools and writers, a clash from which a new and original universe emerges: the epicurean one of Michel de Montaigne.Subjects--Topical Terms:
