Montaigne

On l’imagine souvent retiré dans sa tour pour caresser les muses et cultiver une sagesse intemporelle. Mais Montaigne ne peut se résumer à l’image du philosophe voué à la contemplation. C’est un seigneur à la tête d’un vaste domaine, avec ses paysans, ses vignes et ses champs. Un gentilhomme pétri de valeurs nobiliaires, dont il brave les certitudes pour leur substituer un idéal inédit : conquérir la grandeur dans la « médiocrité » d’une existence ordinaire. Un ancien magistrat aussi, pénétré d’un riche savoir juridique, qu’il mit pour un temps en œuvre au parlement de Bordeaux, ville dont il deviendra le maire. Un acteur politique surtout, happé par la tourmente des guerres de Religion, la violence des haines confessionnelles et la hantise de la mort qui ensanglante la France. On ne peut comprendre, écrit Arlette Jouanna, le destin singulier de cet homme d’exception sans mettre en miroir les différentes figures qui composent sa personnalité et le terroir historique dans lequel elles s’enracinent. C’est d’un regard d’historien qu’il faut en effet redécouvrir son itinéraire tumultueux et la fascinante diversité d’une pensée toujours en mouvement. Si Montaigne nous parle encore, c’est qu’au milieu des troubles civils il en appelle à la « raison publique » pour transcender les intolérances ; c’est qu’il invite à affranchir l’esprit du poids des conventions arrêtées et des préjugés invincibles. Ni le vestige d’un passé révolu ni le prédicateur d’un individualisme hédoniste, mais tout simplement notre contemporain.
