Brief Lives: Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592)

Abstract

Montaigne is a model of philosophy as anti-politics. As incapable as any man of reconciling warring religious parties in 16th-century France, he retires to his estate to write his Essays, revolutionary in its time for collecting its author’s thoughts on a miscellany of subjects – with no didactic intent whatsoever.
