Michel Eyquem de Montaigne, 1533-1592 My research into Montaigne Internet sites was rather hopeless. I did manage to locate a brief life (Oregon State) and another short biography . There is a scholarly journal, Montaigne Studies , published yearly out of Chicago. Some of Montaigne's Essays have been digitized. There is a collection of the essays in English at Renascence Editions . Oregon State is the home of Charles Cotton's translation of the Essays . To really get an idea of Montaigne's urbanity, intellectual humility and pedagogical appreciation, read (and re-read) his essay, Of the Education of Children , the full text of which appears below. Be sure to check out Three Windows , an informative and extremely innovative website about Montaigne by Daniel Cuthbert. See also Ralph Waldo Emerson's essay " Montaigne, or the Skeptic, " from his Representative Men Of the Education of Children To Madame Diane de Foix, Comtesse de Gurson. The philosophers, Chrysippus and Epicurus, were in this of two quite contrary humors: the first not only in his books mixed passages and sayings of other authors, but entire pieces, and, in one,the whole "Medea" of Euripides; which gave Apollodorus occasion to say, that should a man pick out of his writings all that was none of his, he would leave him nothing but blank paper: whereas the latter, quite contrary, in three hundred volumes that he left behind him, has not so much as any one quotation.

Europe The Middle Ages to the 18th Century. Michel Eyquem de Montaigne ( 15331592) http://www.ivu.org/history/renaissance/montaigne.html

International Vegetarian Union History of Vegetarianism Europe: The Middle Ages to the 18th Century Michel Eyquem de Montaigne French writer. His life's work, the Essays (begun in 1571) established the essay as a literary genre and record the evolution of his moral ideas. Quotes: For my part I have never been able to see, without displeasure, an innocent and defenseless animal, from whom we receive no offense or harm, pursued and slaughtered . . . Plato, in his picture of the golden age under Saturn, reckons, among the chief advantages that a man then had, his communication with beasts, of whom, inquiring and informing himself, he knew the true qualities and differences of them all, by which he acquired a very perfect intelligence and prudence, and led his life more happily than we could do. Need we a better proof to condemn human imprudence in the concern of beasts? - An Apology of Raymond Sebond extracts from 'The Essays': Some mothers think it great sport to see a child wring off a chicken's necke, and strive to beat a dog or cat. And some fathers are so fond-foolish that they will construe as a good augur or fore-boding of a martiall mind to see their sons misuse a poor peasant, or tug a lackey that doth not defend himself. . . yet are they the true deeds or roots of cruclty, of tyranny, and of treason. In youth they bud, and afterwards grow to strength, and come to perfection by means of custom. After they had accustomed themselves at Rome to the spectacles of the slaughter of animals, they proceeded to those of the slaughter of men, to the gladiators.

MICHEL EYGUEM DE MONTAIGNE (1533-1592) "I have never seen a greater monster or miracle than myself." Essays Montaigne is a great French Renaissance thinker who took himself as the great object of study in his Essays. In studying himself Montaigne is studying mankind. He attempted to weigh or 'assay' his nature, habits, his own opinions and those of others. He is searching for truth by reflecting on his readings, his travels as well as his experiences both public and private. Montaigne's writing style is light and untechnical. He was also a striking representative of Renaissance skepticism and fideism. Essentially fideism is a strategy which uses skepticism in order to clear the ground for the entrance of Catholicism. Montaigne's skepticism is largely confined to An Apology for Raymond Sebond which was originally the (very long) twelth chapter of Book II of the Essays but is often published separately. (Unfortunately our electronic text of the Essays does not contain the Apology Montaigne seeks to humble man's pride: "...there is a plague on Man, the opinion that he knows something." This skepticism is connected with the doctrine of Christian "folly" which says that God's wisdom is to be found in the lowly and the meek, and that the belief that one has knowledge prevents one from accepting the truths of religion. (One can find this tradition in Pico della Mirandola and Erasmus and others as well). Montaigne is famous for arguing that man is not in any way superior to the beasts, in fact, quite the contrary.

Michel de Montaigne Two years later Montaigne married Françoise de la Chassaigne, the daughter of a parliamentary advocate. They had five daughters, only one of whom survived him. In 1570 at the age of thirty-seven he sold his post of counsellor, and in the following year retired to the château de Montaigne. There, from 1571 to 1580, he wrote his Essays . The first edition of this work contained only two books. He then set out on a journey which lasted a year and a half, of which he has written in his Journal. He went to Lorraine and Alsace, started for Switzerland, crossed Bavaria and came down to the Tyrol, saw Venice and reached Rome, the end of his journey, where he received letters of citizenship. During his absence he had been made mayor of Bordeaux, which office he held for four years (1581-85), his duties coming to an end when the pest broke out. Montaigne being absent from the town did not feel obliged to return to it. In 1588 he published a new edition of his Essays , corrected and augmented by a third book. He continued to revise his work until his death. In 1595 Mlle de Gournay, the young woman who at the age of twenty-two became his enthusiastic admirer, and whom he called his daughter, issued a new edition, in which she inserted the revisions and additions when he had indicated in a copy in 1588.

Michel de Montaigne, essayist (1533-1592) There is no course of life so weak and sottish as that which is managed by order, method, and discipline. -Montaigne When I play with my cat, how do I know that she is not passing time with me rather than I with her? -Montaigne Marriage is like a cage; one sees the birds outside desperate to get in, and those inside desperate to get out. Montaigne A man must keep a little back shop where he can be himself without reserve. In solitude alone can he know true freedom.- Michel de Montaigne O senseless man, who cannot possibly make a worm and yet will make Gods by the dozen! -Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) Nothing is so firmly believed as that which we least know. -Michel de Montaigne We can be knowledgeable with other men's knowledge but we cannot be wise with other men's wisdom. -Michel Montaigne, essayist (1533-1592) Don't discuss yourself, for you are bound to lose; if you belittle yourself, you are believed; if you praise yourself, you are disbelieved. -Michel de Montaigne, essayist (1533-1592) There is, nevertheless, a certain respect and a general duty of humanity that ties us, not only to beasts that have life and sense, but even to trees and plants. -Michel de Montaigne, essayist (1533-1592)

MICHEL DE MONTAIGNE ( 1533-1592 ) El inovador del ensayo literario. En él, pretende defender las tesis de Sebond. Pero en realidad las hace talco. Con su lema: ¿ Que sais-je ? , y haciendo alarde de su escepticismo, desacredita los fundamentos del tratado de Raymundo. Comenta Michel, que el soporte que le dio a Raymundo, era el mismo que le da la cuerda al ahorcado. Como era de esperarse, sus ensayos fueron estudiados por la Iglesia de Roma. Desde mi punto de vista, ese fue un verdadero milagro. Ver Milagros Estando en Roma, recibe una solicitud urgente de regresar a Bordeaux. Le ofrecen el puesto de alcalde. Desempeña magistralmente su papel de pacificador y terminada la tarea, pide ser relevado en el cargo, para volver a su estudio y trabajar nuevamente en sus ensayos. ( Ese es otro milagro. Tranquilizar a dos bandas de fanáticos, sin otra arma que la razón.) En 1588, aparece el tercer volumen, conteniendo trece nuevos ensayos. Admiradora del trabajo de Michel, solicita por escrito una entrevista con Montaigne. Y así se inicia una amistad que dominará la vida de ambos.

Michel de Montaigne E scritor francés que introdujo por primera vez el ensayo como forma literaria. Sus ensayos, que abarcan un amplio abanico de temas, se caracterizan por un estilo discursivo, un tono coloquial y el uso de numerosas citas de autores clásicos. Montaigne nació el 28 de febrero de 1533, en el Château de Montaigne (cerca de Libourne). Su familia gozaba de una buena posición y Montaigne estudió en Guyenne. Posteriormente cursó estudios de leyes probablemente en Toulouse. Su primera empresa literaria fue una traducción, publicada en 1569, de la Theologia Naturalis, obra del teólogo español Raimundo de Sabunde. En 1571 Montaigne heredó las propiedades de la familia, entre las que figuraba el Château de Montaigne. Allí pasó el resto de su vida, entregado a las actividades propias de un hacendado, estudiando a sus autores clásicos favoritos y escribiendo los ensayos que constituyen su gran colección Ensayos . Los dos primeros tomos de esta obra vieron la luz en 1580. Posteriormente Montaigne viajó a Alemania, Italia y Suiza. A su regreso fue alcalde de Burdeos (1581-1585). Escribió un tercer tomo de ensayos que se incluyó en la quinta edición de sus Ensayos en 1588. Los últimos años de su vida los pasó recluido en su propiedad, con la excepción de algún viaje ocasional a París y Ruán. La única obra que escribió además de sus Ensayos es un relato de sus viajes publicado en 1774. Como pensador, Montaigne destaca por su análisis de las instituciones, opiniones y costumbres, así como por su oposición a cualquier forma de dogmatismo carente de una base racional. Montaigne observaba la vida con escepticismo filosófico y puso de relieve las contradicciones e incoherencias inherentes a la naturaleza y la conducta humana. Sin embargo, su moral tendía básicamente hacia el epicureísmo, revelando las actitudes propias de un humanista que rechazaba la esclavitud de las pasiones y los deseos. El más extenso de sus ensayos
