Essais de Montaigne (self-édition) - Volume II by Michel de Montaigne
"Essais de Montaigne (self-édition) - Volume II" by Michel de Montaigne is a collection of essays written between approximately 1570 and 1592. This second volume continues Montaigne's conversational exploration of human nature through honest self-examination. Ranging from profound topics like conscience and sadness to trivial matters like smells, these essays question the certainty of human knowledge and reason. Writing during France's religious wars, Montaigne embraces philosophical skepticism while weaving classical quotations throughout
his searching inquiries into what it means to be human. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
