Essays of Michel de Montaigne — Volume 15 by Michel de Montaigne
"Essays of Michel de Montaigne — Volume 15" by Michel de Montaigne is a collection of essays written between approximately 1570 and 1592. These introspective writings explore an enormous range of topics, from profound matters like conscience and sadness to everyday subjects like smells and posting letters. Montaigne's conversational style combines classical references with popular sayings as he examines human nature, questions certainty, and embraces philosophical skepticism. Writing during France's religious wars,
he offers candid reflections on marriage, education, colonization, and the limits of human knowledge. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
