Abstract

CARNIEL, Flávia Rocha  and  CUNHA, Marcus Vinicius da. Sophistry in the Philosophical and Educational Discourse of Michel de Montaigne. Rev. Elet. Educ. [online]. 2020, vol.14, e3045029.  Epub Jan 15, 2020. ISSN 1982-7199.  https://doi.org/10.14244/198271993045.

The aim of this work is to examine the intellectual production of the Renaissance philosopher Michel de Montaigne, relating data from his biography and the events of his time to his most outstanding work, Essays. It is considered that the theoretical elaborations of an individual, as well as the linguistic forms created by him to express them, derive from events in the physical world - including their derivations of social and cultural order - and as such should be investigated. The origin of this methodological conception is sought in Ancient Philosophy, especially in the Sophists, investigation that provides the parameters for analyzing the specific case of Montaigne.

Keywords : Montaigne; Sophistry; Philosophy of Education..
