Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592), the great Renaissance skeptic and
pioneer of the essay form, is known for his innovative method of
philosophical inquiry which mixes the anecdotal and the personal
with serious critiques of human knowledge, politics and the law. He
is the first European writer to be intensely interested in the
representations of his own intimate life, including not just his
reflections and emotions but also the state of his body. His
rejection of fanaticism and cruelty and his admiration for the
civilizations of the New World mark him out as a predecessor of
modern notions of tolerance and acceptance of otherness. In this
volume an international team of contributors explores the range of
his philosophy and also examines the social and intellectual
contexts in which his thought was expressed.
