Teaching philosophy. Montaigne and the culture of alternation

Abstract

There are many ways to look at the question of teaching philosophy. I will do this here from the point of view of teaching practice, i. e. from a didactic and / or educational point of view. And that, not by leaving - which would be quite legitimate - of the practice of philosophy teacher who was and is mine, but rather by searching in some philosophers to instruct my reflection on these questions. There are indeed, among philosophers, and of course, among those who have cared, about education, about very many analyzes that can help us on this point. Some, like that of Montaigne, seemed to me particularly important, and I would like here to expose them while gradually accounting for the reasons why I consider them important.
