Montaigne : La conciencia crítica del Renacimiento

In a time dominated by dogmatism, whether of religious intolerance or a misguided universalism that condemned otherness in its many forms (savages, Jews, Turks…), Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) set out to champion a healthy skepticism and relativism, challenging the tyranny of authority, custom, or power. This is the spirit that runs through his now-famous Essays, and which philosopher Nicola Panichi recovers in this illuminating introduction to the life and work of the French thinker.
