Produced by David Widger "Essays of Michel de Montaigne — Volume 03" by Michel de Montaigne is a collection of philosophical essays written in the late 16th century. This volume delves into various subjects such as the nature of bravery, the social customs regarding rituals and greetings, and the reflection on death and the human condition. Montaigne’s work is renowned for its introspective style and exploration of personal and cultural themes through a mix of anecdotal evidence and philosophical reasoning. The opening of this volume introduces several chapters that engage with themes of social etiquette and the expectations placed upon individuals in varying social hierarchies. Montaigne reflects on the importance of manners and civility during princely meetings, emphasizing the absurdity of rigid customs that often lead to personal discomfort. He also critiques the extremes of valor, discussing how over-eagerness can culminate in folly, and highlights the idea that cowardice, too, commands a certain societal punishment. Ultimately, the essays invite readers to consider the balance between societal expectations and personal integrity, while contemplating deeper issues like happiness, virtue, and the finality of death—establishing a thoughtful dialogue that engages with both the individual and the collective experience of humanity.
