Essays of Michel de Montaigne — Volume 07 by Michel de Montaigne
"Essays of Michel de Montaigne — Volume 07" by Michel de Montaigne is a collection of essays written between approximately 1570 and 1592. This volume forms part of Montaigne's groundbreaking work of self-examination, where he explores topics ranging from the profound to the trivial with conversational frankness. Writing during France's religious wars, Montaigne employs philosophical skepticism to question human certainty and reason. His informal style weaves classical references with popular sayings, creating
essays that examine human nature's diversity and fallibility while asking, "What do I know?" (This is an automatically generated summary.)
