Produced by David Widger "Essays of Michel de Montaigne — Volume 11" by Michel de Montaigne is a collection of philosophical essays written during the late 16th century. This volume delves into profound reflections on human mortality, the nature of judgment, and the complexities of human desires and aspirations. Montaigne employs a personal and introspective style to explore the intricacies of existence, particularly focusing on how individuals perceive life and death. At the start of this volume, the essay "Of Judging of the Death of Another" discusses the difficulty of accurately assessing how someone approaches death. Montaigne emphasizes that people rarely acknowledge their impending death, often clinging to hope and self-importance. He contrasts the certainty of death with the uncertainty of human emotions and perspectives, examining historical examples of both stoicism and despair in the face of mortality. The opening notes the pervasive human tendency to inflate the importance of one’s existence and the paradox of courage in death, setting the stage for deeper explorations into mortal concerns and subjective experiences in subsequent essays.
