| Sumario: | Although Nicholas of Cusa did not elaborate a theory of language in a systematic sense, he disseminated in his writings many rich considerations on the nature, scope and limit of language. In this sense, since the early decades of the 20th century, various researches have concentrated on the study of the problem of language in Cusan's thought. In reviewing the state of the question, it can be observed, however, that certain notes that determine the efficacy of his philosophical discourse, that is, the discourse of the maximum doctrine of ignorance (maxima ignorantiae doctrina), have not been sufficiently examined. In virtue of this, the paper presents the analysis and interpretation of the topic of the ease (facilitas) of the ignorant Cusan discourse. We will show, in this sense, that these notes cannot be reduced in his thought to a stylistic or decorative question of language, but that they respond to a metaphysical conception, that is, the facilitas maxima as the principle of all things, on which is based a linguistic conception of the ignorant discourse |
