Resumen
RODRIGUEZ JARAMILLO, Antonio. The Subject as Human Condition: Essays by M. de Montaigne. Prax. filos. [online]. 2010, n.30, pp.85-105. ISSN 0120-4688.
Essays is the title of a painting in which its author depicts himself as modelling his "self" as both subject and topic. By doing so, a painting of the human condition is elaborated, a morality. It is also a matter of answering two questions: ¿how is it possible in an ink self portrait to study the behaviours of "man in general"? And ¿how is it possible for a XVI century author to build a morality that exceeds the level of customs and conventions without a comprehensive representation and, thus, correlative to its scepticism?
Palabras clave : subject; representation; painting; human condition; morality.
