| Sumario: | Examines the evolution of Montaigne's humanistic views in three stages: beginning with his advocating self-mastery and a firm struggle for consistency against the ills of life to prepare to meet pain and death worthily, then to a period of skeptical crisis in which he critiques human knowledge, and ending with his Epicurean period in which he preached a concentration on simple human goodness rather than on works of stoical supererogation, moderation rather than abstention or excess, and a balance of duties between oneself and others that is neither selfishness nor unselfishness. |
