Abstract

Si la catégorie de « baroque » a été utilisée par l'histoire littéraire pour tenter de rendre raison des Essais, la philosophie ne l'a jamais mise à contribution. Pourtant, il est possible de penser la démarche de Montaigne, régie par les notions d'imagination et de possibilité, comme une manière, baroque, de philosopher. Cela permet d'éviter l'exclusion, hors du champ philosophique, de ce type de démarches, embarrassantes lues à l'aune exclusive de la rationalité, voire de mieux appréhender certains aspects du « classicisme ». If « baroque »'s category was used by literature's history, in order to account for the Essays, philosophy never made use of it. However, it is possible to consider Montaigne's thought process, which is ruled by the notions of imagination and possibility, as a baroque's manner to philosophize. It also allows to prevent the exclusion, out of the philosophical range, of those thought process, embarrassing if they are only read according to the light of reason, and even to envisage better some aspects of « classicism »
