Michel de Montaigne and the Renaissance
Critical thinking is the key characteristic of the writings of Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592), who symbolises the spirit of the Renaissance. Mind you, the social and political context at that time was very different from our century. Daring to say what you think was far from self-evident in the Renaissance. Montaigne exercised critical thinking in his “Essays,” which address dozens of different subjects. He writes about literature, history, theology, friendship, love relationships, and his own method of writing, just to mention some of his subjects. His treatment of all subjects is erudite and thoughtful, while keeping it entertaining and prac...

Aristotle: Michel de Montaigne and classical philosophy
Despite his extensive study of classical philosophy, Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) paid relatively little attention to Aristotle. He quoted Seneca, Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus, Plato and Plutarch more often than he quoted Aristotle. He devoted more efforts to understanding stoicism than he devoted to the Aristotelian views on human nature and happiness. I have a theory that explains Montaigne’s disproportionate interest in Roman authors (Seneca, Marcus Aurelius, Cicero or Epictetus) compared to his light treatment of Aristotle. When I say “Roman authors,” I mean authors writing during the late Roman Republic or early Roman Empire, even if those authors had be...

Michel de Montaigne and intellectual curiosity
When people nowadays speak about curiosity, they usually mean the open, random, wide-range interest in a multiplicity of subjects. They mean the curiosity of children exploring their environment in a disorderly, superficial, inconsistent manner. Renaissance authors such as Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) employed a different definition of curiosity. They carried out research in a multiplicity of subjects, but in the pursuit of a tightly defined goal. Their efforts were neither disorderly nor random. Montaigne displayed a remarkable curiosity in his literary work, to which he devoted the last two decades of his life. He researched classical authors, taking copious...

Errors in Montaigne’s views on cultural identity
Despite his erudition and hard work, Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) never grasped the need for an objective morality. I find in his essays a relentless effort to obscure ethical truths in order to preach moral relativism and contorted ethical equality. Montaigne employed ethical fallacies as arguments once and again; he employed “universal emotions” to call for ethical indifference, and “diverse cultural identity” to call for empathy towards immorality. His essay “That men through various ways arrive at the same thing” provides salient examples of those fallacies. By arguing for the equality of paths, Montaigne is obscuring vast differences in goals. By fo...

Michel de Montaigne and the nature of personal growth
“The best human attribute is rising after every downfall,” wrote Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592). Like no other author before the Renaissance, Montaigne devoted two decades of his life to identifying the keys to personal growth, and recording them in his essays. The above citation is taken from Montaigne’s essay “That no man should be called happy until his death,” which is one of my favourites. However, recommendations on personal growth can be found in every essay he wrote. Montaigne regarded writing as an exercise in thinking. His goal was to figure out the answers to important questions, and write down...

Michel de Montaigne’s personal reflections
Personal reflections can render essays colourful and lively, but cannot guarantee correct judgement. Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) made dozens of personal reflections in his essays, but more often than not, he drew trivial or wrong conclusions. Nonetheless, his essays remain worth reading because they prompt us to think. They confront us with numerous arguments favouring or opposing a thesis, or numerous answers in reply to a question. Montaigne’s faulty logic challenges the readers’ philosophical skills. Which messages is Montaigne conveying in those personal reflections? Self-justification is the only recognisable pattern. I mean that Montaigne is just looking for argu...

Michel de Montaigne and existentialism
Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) is regarded as the first existentialist philosopher in history because he accepted the inevitability of death, and sought to maximise his happiness in every situation. Instead of fearing death, Montaigne recommended getting acquainted with it, so that it becomes part of our expectations. The consciousness of our limited lifespan can help us make the best of every day and every opportunity. Montaigne’s individualism reinforced his existentialism. He showed little interest in abstract rules that tell everybody what to do with his life. Instead, Montaigne recommended us to live in accordance with our true self. Th...

Michel de Montaigne as a precursor of existentialism
For historians of philosophy, there is a definite proof that Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) was a forerunner of modern existentialism; they point to Montaigne’s essay titled “To study philosophy is to learn to die” and argue that it contains all key ideas of existentialist philosophy. I cannot deny Montaigne’s position as a precursor of Jean-Paul Sartre (1905-1980) and Albert Camus (1913-1960), but I want to underline the uniqueness of his ideas. Neither Sartre, Camus, or any other modern existentialist has ever grasped Montaigne’s optimism and benevolence. They have also not grasped Montaigne’s method. He was not a well-s...

Michel de Montaigne’s literary works and themes
For twenty years, Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) spent a good part of his days writing his essays. He made no planning, organisation, or outline of the whole. Instead, he let his works grow organically and spontaneously. Eventually, he compiled his essays in volumes ready for publication. Montaigne’s literary themes have been identified by critics, not by Montaigne himself. As his essays piled up over time, he returned often to certain subjects, those that appealed to him in particular. Sometimes, he addressed exactly the same subject, but from different standpoints. Let us pass review to Montaigne’s themes and the key...

Montaigne’s cultural impact, especially on French literature
After devoting twenty years of his life to writing essays, Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) had developed great expectations for the future. He believed that his essays would appeal to a large public and influence future generations. History has proven Montaigne right but not in the manner he expected. His essays did find a large audience, but their philosophical influence has been negligible. His quotations do appeal to truth-seekers, but they have seldom changed anyone’s life. Montaigne’s curiosity and verbosity led to a vast output, but every page he wrote contains hesitations and inconsistencies. I admire his ability to p...

Michel de Montaigne, a contemporary of Shakespeare, emerged from the tumult of Frances devastating wars of religion to embrace a life of reflection and introspection. In the tranquil setting of his estates, he turned to writing about the most profound subject he knew—himself. Through his insights on personal likes and dislikes, historical reflections, and tales of love and travel, Montaigne captures not just his own essence, but the essence of all humanity. His famous query, What do I know? invites us to ponder our own souls and experiences. (Summary by Pamela Nagami, M.D.)

The key to Michel de Montaigne’s literary creativity
In contrast to writers in our century, Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) never claimed to be extraordinarily creative. Even during his last years, when it was obvious that he had produced a remarkable output, his attitude remained modest. Historians have speculated whether Montaigne’s talent was innate or acquired, original or the result of imitation, a case of genius or of incidental circumstances. I view those debates as pointless because Montaigne himself had revealed the source of his creativity. Montaigne explains in his essay “On Constancy” how all his output (literary or otherwise) rests on his resilience, that is, his ability to rem...
