Método e estilo, subjetividade e conhecimento nos ensaios de Montaigne

the most remarkable characteristic of renaissance philosophy was also what made its assimilation by history of philosophy so difficult: the interaction between form and content, between idea and its expression. this results from trying to achieve another inter-relationship which is even more essential: that between theory and practice, thought and action. in montaigne's essays the method is primarily a lifestyle: there the language is the means by which the implication between external and internal worlds, self and reality - and so between intellect and sensibility, art and nature, fact and value, identity and otherness, etc - seeks to become apparent, allowing the perception of its permanent reciprocal remodeling.
