Produced by David Widger "Essays of Michel de Montaigne — Volume 07" by Michel de Montaigne is a collection of philosophical essays written during the late 16th century. This volume includes multiple discourses reflecting on various topics, including the nature of honor, the influence of opinion on human happiness, social inequality, and the pitfalls of seeking glory. Montaigne's candid and introspective style offers readers a look into his thoughts on human behavior, morality, and wisdom, embodying the essence of Renaissance humanism. The opening of this volume presents an examination of Cicero and compares the pursuit of eloquence and public recognition to the achievements of historical figures like Xenophon and Caesar. Montaigne critiques those who seek glory through mere words rather than actions, arguing that true merit lies in one's deeds rather than in the adornment of speech. He also reflects on the paradox of human pride, stating that the desire for fame can lead to a shallow existence that ultimately detracts from genuine achievement. Montaigne's exploration of these themes not only sets the tone for the essays that follow but also invites readers to consider their own values and the nature of honor in their lives.
