| Summary | "Essais de Montaigne (self-édition) - Volume III" by Michel de Montaigne is a collection of philosophical essays written in the late 16th century. It examines human thoughts and behaviors through introspection and personal anecdotes, merging literature with philosophy. The work is part of a larger series divided into four volumes, with this volume focusing on the text and modern translations of selected essays. The beginning of this volume introduces Montaigne's thoughts on the nature of excellence in men, specifically discussing notable historical figures such as Homer and Alexander the Great. He explores themes of virtue, human character, and the complexities of greatness, juxtaposing different views on these historical figures. Montaigne intertwines literary references with philosophical reflections, setting the stage for deeper explorations of human nature and personal experience throughout the essays.
