About The Book

The Essays remind us that literary studies, the "humanities", to use the expression of the time, had for ambition the moral training of man and not the acquisition of knowledge: "The gain of our study, it is has become better and wiser ". This humanism inspired the honest man of the XVII th century and the Enlightenment philosopher. At a time when novelty is established as a dogma and excess as a criterion of quality, it is more than ever necessary to read and reread Montaigne.
