About this book
Creators: Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592), William Carew Hazlitt (1834-1913) [Editor], and Charles Cotton (1630-1687) [Translator] "Essays of Michel de Montaigne — Volume 13" 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 utter frankness. Writing during France's religious wars, Montaigne questions human certainty and reason through a conversational style rich with classical quotations. His philosophical skepticism and famous motto "What do I know?" reflect his belief that humans cannot grasp absolute truth, making these essays a searching inquiry into human nature's variety and fragility.
