Essays of Michel de Montaigne — Volume 18 by Michel de Montaigne
"Essays of Michel de Montaigne — Volume 18" by Michel de Montaigne is part of a collection of essays written between approximately 1570 and 1592. Montaigne examines himself with radical honesty, exploring topics from the profound to the trivial. Writing during France's religious wars, he questions human certainty and reason, famously asking "What do I know?" His conversational style weaves personal reflection with classical quotations, creating a groundbreaking form of introspective writing
that profoundly influenced Western literature and philosophical skepticism. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
