About Montaigne
Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) was a French philosopher and writer best known for developing the essay as a literary form. Born in the region of Aquitaine, he served as a government official and cultivated a deep curiosity about human nature, which he explored through his seminal work, "Essais." Montaigne's reflections on subjects like skepticism, culture, and personal experience have had a lasting impact on literature and philosophy, influencing thinkers throughout the Enlightenment and beyond.
