• Resumen

  • Notwithstanding the cliché of its Platonic conception of form as dominating matter, the Renaissance is fascinated with the instability of the forms matter takes. Vinci is obsessed by chaos : Montaigne with inconstancy. These themes give rise to «forms » : the metamorphoses in Ronsard' s poems parallel the lability of the architecture of his works. Or Montaigne's Essays, in perpetual flux : his writing inscribes time and mutability.
