Essays of Michel de Montaigne — Volume 17 by Michel de Montaigne
"Essays of Michel de Montaigne — Volume 17" 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 profound philosophical questions to everyday trivialities. Writing in a conversational style during France's religious wars, Montaigne employs skepticism and classical references to examine human nature's variety and limitations. His candid introspection, supported by
the motto "What do I know?," challenges certainty itself while offering timeless insights into consciousness, knowledge, and existence. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
