| Summary | "Montaigne et François Bacon" by Pierre Villey is a scholarly examination of the influence of the French philosopher Michel de Montaigne on the English thinker Francis Bacon, written in the early 20th century. The text delves into the intricate relationships between Montaigne's and Bacon's works, particularly their respective essays, highlighting the depth of Montaigne's impact on Bacon’s development of thought and methodology. Villey aims to provide a thorough analysis of the objective data surrounding this intellectual connection. At the start of the work, Villey sets the stage by introducing the debate surrounding the comparative influence of Montaigne on Bacon, particularly in light of recent scholarly trends. He references various critiques and studies that have attempted to link the two figures, noting a surge of interest in examining the parallels between their writings. Villey emphasizes the necessity of scrutinizing these claims with precision, acknowledging that while Bacon certainly encountered Montaigne's work, the actual influence may be less direct than previously assumed. The opening suggests a careful, methodical dissection of their ideas, establishing a foundation for exploring how Montaigne's insights may have subtly permeated Bacon's thinking, especially in the realm of moral philosophy and scientific inquiry.
