Abstract EN:

Montaigne's writing, thanks to its obious disorder, seems to escape any attempt at com:prehenoine it philosophically '(ano systematically). In opposition to that false evidence, and sanctified by history, ne wphold the opinion that montaigne's work, which is philosophical through and through, gives birth to a new way to philosophize - a sceptical wriming mannerwhose thematical axes are reality and joy - associated in that way i in a text which remains difficult to penetrate and enigmatic, those axes contribute to creating the texture of montaigne's wisdom, a paradoxical wisdom, a wisdom based on no parmuciar doctrine.

Abstract FR:

Le texte de montaigne, par son desordre patent, semble echapper a toute tentative d'apprehension philosophique (systematique). Contre cette fausse evidence, sanctifiee par l'histoire, nous soutenons que l'oeuvre de montaigne, philosophique de part en part, inaugure un nouveau philosopher-ecriture spectique- dont les pays tematique sont le reel et la joie. Ainsi associes, dans un texte qui demeure retif et enigmatique, ils contribuent a dessiner la trame d'une sagesse montaigniste, sagesse paradoxale, sagesse sans doctrine.
