RAGA ROSALENY, Vicente. Irony, knowledge and subjectivity: A philosophical reading of Michel de Montaigne's essays. discus.filos [online]. 2011, vol.12, n.19, pp.257-273. ISSN 0124-6127.
Irony is rarely discussed from a philosophical perspective and even less when it is a question of Metaphysics, like the problem of truth or the question of the subject. From Hegel to our days only occasionally scholars have studied irony and, for this reason, thinkers as the ironic Michel de Montaigne are often considered marginal authors in the history of philosophy, despite his central contribution to the modern philosophical style with the essay. In this article, I propose a metaphysical reading of the work of this French author taking care of the ironic style of his essays. Taking into account the notions of knowledge and subjectivity I will analyze the readings that have been done on "the Socratic" character of the Essays showing their philosophical relevance and, therefore, the weight of the concept of irony in any contemporary philosophical reflection.
