"Essays of Michel de Montaigne — Volume 16" by Michel de Montaigne is part of a collection of essays written between approximately 1570 and 1592.

Writing during France's violent religious wars, he questioned human certainty and reason, exploring everything from conscience to trivial matters like smells. His skeptical
philosophy asks: what do we truly know about ourselves and the world? (This is an automatically generated summary.)
