Produktbeschreibung
A luminous doorway into Renaissance thought, Montaigne's Essays Of Michel De Montaigne (Volume 14) invites you to walk with a thinker who makes curiosity feel like a doorway to your own life. Here is a philosopher who writes as a companion-humble, probing, endlessly human. This volume preserves Montaigne's memorable meditations on human nature, mortality and memory, and epistemology and doubt, within a clear, accessible form that suits both the general reader and the student of classic philosophical essays. As a renaissance philosophy anthology, it threads early modern france and sixteenth century europe into a coherent, contemporary voice, offering a universal curriculum reading resource that speaks to university study editions and casual shelves alike. The writing's quiet courage-its openness to doubt, its alertness to folly and wisdom-renders the work a timeless touchstone for self-scrutiny, debate, and wonder, while remaining firmly rooted in a tradition that influenced later thinkers, including Bacon. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, this edition is restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - it is a collector's item and a cultural treasure, a refined invitation to explore a philosophical classic as both a scholarly touchstone and a companion for everyday reflection. A true treasure for scholars, collectors, and curious minds alike.
Autorenporträt
Michel de Montaigne (28 February 1533 - 13 September 1592) was one of the most significant philosophers of the French Renaissance, known for popularizing the essay as a literary genre. His work is noted for its merging of casual anecdotes and autobiography with intellectual insight. His massive volume Essais contains some of the most influential essays ever written. During his lifetime, Montaigne was admired more as a statesman than as an author. The tendency in his essays to digress into anecdotes and personal ruminations was seen as detrimental to proper style rather than an innovation. In time, however, Montaigne came to be recognized as embodying, perhaps better than any other author of his time, the spirit of freely entertaining doubt that began to emerge at that time.
