LANGUAGE AND HUMAN ACTION - RICHARD A WATSON GE...

Certainly the most elaborate single extant monument of Renaissance French prose literature 
Michel de Montaigne's Essais presents a subject matter that often discusses and analyzes
concepts of language in general as well as language as a vehicle of its own expression. This
study addresses the author's exploration of the dedalus of language as he ambles and rambles
its roads  streets  and alleys  draws the portrait of his philosophy of language or philology 
and concludes his affirmative and positivistic attitude toward language and its literary
application or the art and artistry of literature.The great Renaissance humanist's depiction of
language in the Essais is analyzed in this book on the basis of its division among intellectual
moral  and aesthetic aspects. This threefold reduction  finding its derivation in the critical
work of Aristotle  Auerbach  and Bowen  is also related to the few particular and the important
general critical studies of Montaigne and his vision and use  creation and re-creation of
language.
