English summary: Philosophy has an ambiguous relationship with ordinary language, sometimes seeing it as ill-adapted and a source of illusions, and sometimes as a path to reality. The collected essays in this volume examine the positions of various philosophers from Antiquity to the Renaissance in regards to language. French description: La philosophie entretient un rapport ambigu au langage ordinaire. Tantot elle l'a repudie comme inadapte, egarant, source d'illusions, tantot elle y a vu une voie d'acces a la realite, voire la voie d'acces par excellence a celle-ci. Contrairement a ce que l'on pourrait penser, cette problematique n'est pas typique des philosophies moderne et contemporaine. Elle emerge des l'aube de la philosophie et l'accompagne tout au long de son histoire. Ce volume presente, sans pretendre a l'exhaustivite, une palette representative de positions differentes prises par des penseurs de l'Antiquite, du Moyen Age et de la Renaissance. Les presocratiques (Parmenide et Xenophane), Aristote, les stoiciens, l'epicurien Polystrate, Sextus Empiricus, Abelard, Jean Buridan, Pic de la Mirandole, Montaigne, Francis Bacon et Giordano Bruno sont ainsi etudies sous un angle neuf et stimulant.
