Produced by David Widger "Essays of Michel de Montaigne — Volume 18" by Michel de Montaigne is a philosophical essay collection written during the late 16th century. This volume comprises a series of essays that delve into personal reflections and observations on various subjects, including the management of will, the nature of cripples, and the study of physiognomy. Montaigne's work is characterized by introspective musings, inviting readers to ponder the nature of self and society. At the start of the volume, the chapter entitled "Of Managing the Will" introduces Montaigne's perspective on the importance of self-regulation and moderation in one's passions and desires. He reflects on his innate tendency towards insensitivity to external distractions and emphasizes the need to cultivate a balance between the love of pleasure and the aversion to pain. Illustrating his philosophical approach with personal anecdotes, Montaigne expresses a reluctance to become overly absorbed in public affairs, advocating instead for a more introspective and self-guided existence. This opening sets the tone for a contemplative exploration of personal agency, societal obligations, and the complexities of human emotion. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
