Produced by David Widger "Essays of Michel de Montaigne — Volume 06" by Michel de Montaigne is a philosophical collection of essays written during the late 16th century. This volume delves into a variety of subjects, such as friendship, moderation, societal customs, and reflections on cannibalism, showcasing Montaigne's contemplative style and personal musings on human nature and morality. At the start of this volume, Montaigne introduces the essay on friendship, drawing a parallel between his writing process and that of an artist crafting a picture. He expresses a deep admiration for his late friend, Estienne de la Boetie, whom he credits for igniting his thoughts on friendship—a bond he considers rare and profound. Montaigne discusses the complexities of defining true friendship, contrasting it with familial bonds and romantic love, and ultimately emphasizing the spiritual connection and selflessness that characterize genuine friendships. He reflects on the significance of companionship in life while reminiscing about the intense and fulfilling nature of his friendship with La Boetie, setting the tone for the philosophical explorations that follow in the volume.
