Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Essays_(Montaigne)
Of Experience.
Produced by David Widger
"Essays of Michel de Montaigne — Volume 19" by Michel de Montaigne is a collection of philosophical essays written during the late 16th century. This volume primarily explores the nature of human experience and the complexities of knowledge, reflecting Montaigne's introspective style as he delves into topics such as law, justice, and personal reflection on life's challenges. The opening of this essay, "Of Experience," examines the inherent human desire for knowledge and the value of experience as a means of understanding. Montaigne articulates the limitations of reason compared to the varied and sometimes contradictory lessons drawn from personal experiences, weaving in historical examples and observations on the legal system's inadequacies. He argues that the complexities of life render fixed laws insufficient and contemplates the nature of human freedom in the face of societal constructs. Throughout the opening, Montaigne's voice remains personal and contemplative, setting the stage for deeper reflections on individual judgment and the pursuit of truth.
