Summary: "Tutkielmia: Valikoima" by Michel de Montaigne is a collection of philosophical essays written in the late 16th century. This work reflects on various themes and questions central to human existence, morality, and knowledge, showcasing Montaigne's introspective style and skepticism. It is a testament to Montaigne's explorations into the nature of self, society, and the philosophical ideas of his time. At the start of this collection, Montaigne introduces his work with a personal note, stating that his writings are meant for the comfort and remembrance of his friends and family. The opening essays delve into concepts like idleness, the nature of eloquence, the uncertainty of happiness, and the inevitability of death. These themes not only demonstrate Montaigne's reflective approach but also signal his belief in the importance of personal experiences and the philosophical inquiries that arise from them. Through a mixture of historical examples and personal anecdotes, Montaigne establishes a framework for his argument that emphasizes the complexity of human existence and the necessity of understanding oneself amidst the chaos of life.
