Free Downloads The Cambridge Companion To Montaigne (Cambridge Companions To Philosophy)
Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) is known for his innovative method of philosophical inquiry which mixes the anecdotal and the personal with serious critiques of human knowledge, politics and the law. His rejection of fanaticism and cruelty and his admiration for the civilizations of the New World mark him as a predecessor of modern notions of tolerance and acceptance of otherness. An international team of contributors explores the range of his philosophy and also examines the social and intellectual contexts in which his thought was expressed.

I have found the book useful and full of bright insights about Montaigne, his person and his time. It is clear, well written, scholar but plain in language.
