"Essais de Montaigne (self-édition) - Volume II" by Michel de Montaigne is a philosophical work written in the late 16th century. This volume is part of a larger collection that reflects on a variety of topics, exploring human nature, ethics, and personal experiences through Montaigne's unique lens. The book consists of essays that are both introspective and observational, delving into the complexities of life and society. At the start of this volume, Montaigne introduces his examination of honor and its rewards, specifically discussing the concept of honor as distinct from material gain. He reflects on the historical practices of societies in recognizing virtuous individuals with symbolic honors rather than tangible benefits, pondering the implications of these distinctions. Additionally, he questions the nature of parental affection, arguing that genuine care should transcend mere duty or necessity, and promotes the idea that true affection should evolve with understanding and experience. This opening sets the stage for a deeper exploration of morality and the human condition throughout the essays. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
