Details

Montaigne's Essays are among the most fascinating texts produced in European philosophical literature. Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) is often seen as a "modern" thinker who was far ahead of his time. However, Peter Burke places him back in his time and shows not only the differences, but also the similarities with his contemporaries. He also describes the far-reaching influence of the Essays, which have attracted a diverse group of thinkers and writers, from Bacon to Montesquieu, from Nietzsche to Levi-Strauss.
