Essays of Michel de Montaigne — Volume 04 by Michel de Montaigne
"Essays of Michel de Montaigne — Volume 04" by Michel de Montaigne is part of a collection written between approximately 1570 and 1592. In these introspective essays, Montaigne examines himself with complete honesty while exploring topics ranging from profound philosophical questions to everyday trivialities. Writing during France's religious wars, he embraces skepticism, questioning human certainty and reason. Through conversational prose filled with classical references, he reflects on education, marriage, colonization, and the
fundamental fragility of human nature, asking simply: "What do I know?" (This is an automatically generated summary.)
