Michel de Montaigne, der diese Selbsteinschätzung vornimmt, tat dies nicht aus Koketterie. Denn ihn kümmert weniger die Erkenntnis der Dinge als vielmehr die Erkenntnis seiner selbst. Statt systematisch über ein Thema zu meditieren – wie man es von einem Philosophen erwarten darf –, nimmt Montaigne einen Gegenstand zum Ausgangspunkt einer denkerischen Reise, von der er selbst nicht genau weiß, wohin sie ihn führt. Sein Gegenstand ist er selbst, in dem sich alle anderen Gegenstände spiegeln.

„Essais" bedeutet „Versuche" – und genau das unternahm Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592) mit seinem gleichnamigen Werk: Er begründete ein neues literarisches Genre, in dem er sich den großen Fragen seiner Zeit mit persönlichem Blick und philosophischer Offenheit widmete. In stilistisch brillanter Prosa denkt Montaigne über das menschliche Maß, die Grenzen des Wissens und das Wesen des guten Lebens nach. Seine Reflexionen sind zugänglich, zeitlos und überraschend modern.

A study into the customs and practices of indigenous peoples in the Americas, Montaigne delves into the concept of ‘civilisation’, contrasting the behaviour of so-called ‘barbarians’ with Western society. He challenges the idea that European values are superior, understanding the practices of the Tupinambá people and arguing that the horrors inflicted by the soldiers of Portugal on their enemies at the time are – in many ways – far worse. It remains a persuasive and compelling argument for cultural relativism. This audiobook edition is expertly narrated by Malk Williams.

En 1571, tras sufrir un accidente montando a caballo, Michel de Montaigne abandona su posición como magistrado de Burdeos para retirarse a su castillo y empezar a escribir. Ese es el inicio, casi novelesco, de una de las obras más importantes de la cultura occidental. «No enseño ni adoctrino, lo que hago es relatar», afirma Montaigne. Y entretanto dialoga con los pensadores clásicos sobre todo tipo de cuestiones relativas a la condición humana.
