Essays of Michel de Montaigne — Volume 09 by Michel de Montaigne
"Essays of Michel de Montaigne — Volume 09" 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 frank honesty. Writing during the French Wars of Religion, Montaigne questions human certainty and reason through philosophical skepticism. His conversational style, rich with classical quotations, examines everything
from marriage and education to colonial injustice, creating a searching inquiry that profoundly influenced Western literature and thought. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
