Many critics seem to consider it inappropriate or unnecessary to
ask what Montaigne means by the faculty of judgment. Laumonier
speaks of "Ie bon sens, qu'il oppose si souvent a la memoire et
qu'il appelle encore 'jugement' et 'entendement', c'est-a-dire la
faculte de penser et de reflechir juste. " 1 Our appreciation of
what is implied by judgment, that is by Montaigne's notion of
judgment, has been delayed perhaps by a too facile acceptance of a
so-called synonymity of meaning among the psychological terms used
by Montaigne. In a discussion of key concepts in Montaigne, Donald
M. Frame has accurately summarized the present situation with
regard to our knowledge of Montaigne's notion of judgment and other
key concepts: "We all have our hunches, but we need more than that.
" 2 For the expression of his interest and concern for the
intellectual and moral activities and capabilities of the mind,
Montaigne draws upon a broad and elementary semantic field. These
primary psychological terms are jugement, entendement, sens,
raison, discours, and conscience. Al- though these words may be
used synonymously, Montaigne does seem to maintain certain basic
distinctions among them; frequent substi- tutions of terms must be
the result of semantic and ideational differ- ences. Moreover, the
association of several psychological words within a single sentence
implies gradations, however slight they may be.
