Produced by David Widger "Essays of Michel de Montaigne — Volume 02" by Michel de Montaigne is a philosophical collection of essays likely written in the late 16th century. The work explores various facets of human nature, behavior, and societal norms, delving into themes such as courage, sorrow, lies, and the complexities of human emotions. Montaigne draws on historical examples to illustrate his points, enabling readers to reflect on their personal experiences and the broader human condition. The opening of the volume begins with a consideration of how different approaches can lead to similar outcomes, particularly in terms of how individuals respond to offenses and seek reparation. Montaigne uses historical figures like Edward, the Black Prince, and Scanderbeg to discuss themes of mercy and bravery. He contrasts the efficacy of submission with that of resolute courage in dealing with adversaries. Through a series of anecdotes, he illustrates that the nature of judgement in human interactions is often multifaceted and complex, setting the tone for introspective analysis throughout the essays that follow.
