If Montaigne is often considered the founder of modern Western thought, it is because he invented, in writing his Essays, a new way of thinking and living. Montaigne teaches us to prefer our doubts to our certainties, not to learn academically, to think with our body, to reinvent our personality with each experience we have, not to believe that there is a hierarchy between the different subjects of reflection... But above all, Montaigne teaches us to go beyond our identity to become capable of living in the present moment. _____________ ➔ JOIN ME ON PATREON: / paroledephilosophe ➔ LISTEN TO THE PODCAST ON SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/14QUIhM... ➔ ON APPLE PODCASTS: https://podcasts.apple.com/fr/podcast... ➔ AND ON OTHER PLATFORMS: https://smartlink.ausha.co/parole-de-... _____________ ➔ Photo credits (CC): Mitchell Library, State Library of New South Wales / Gallica - Bibliothèque nationale de France / Paolo Monti, collection Biblioteca Europea di Informazione e Cultura.
