DE LA THEORIE DE GUSTAVE GUILLAUME A LA COGNITION : LANGAGE ET PENSEE, LUCIDITE, MECANIQUE INTUITIONNELLE, CONNAISSANCE ET VECU
From Gustave Guillaume’s theory to cognition : language and thought, lucidity, intuitional mechanics, knowledge and experience

Summary/Abstract: Gustave Guillaume, who was very early acknowledged for the originality of his ideas and his epistemological demands, is often considered to be a pioneer by his followers. Is such a position justified from the point of view of the cognitive approaches to language ? Just as it was in 1994, the question of how adaptable his theory is to such a perspective is still open. The present paper will focus on different aspects of the problem. First, human lucidity from which, according to Guillaume and his anthropogenetical concerns, the invention of language is derived. Then scientific curiosity, and the intuitional mechanics that underlie it but can also apply to other explanatory disciplines. Finally the way he considers reflexive knowledge in its relation to life experience will be dealt with.
