Michel Montaigne

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars. The Age of Enlightenment profoundly enriched religious and philosophical understanding and continues to influence present-day thinking. Works collected here include masterpieces by David Hume, Immanuel Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as well as religious sermons and moral debates on the issues of the day, such as the slave trade. The Age of Reason saw conflict between Protestantism and Catholicism transformed into one between faith and logic -- a debate that continues in the twenty-first century.++++The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.

Mit seinem Hauptwerk, den Essais, begr ndete Montaigne die literarische Form des Essays, zu Deutsch in etwa "Versuch." Es entstand in den Jahren von 1572 bis 1592 und erfuhr schon zu Lebzeiten des Autors vier Auflagen. Montaigne beschrieb darin innere Empfindungen und soziale Begegnungen sehr pr zise. Die Essais folgen dem Bewusstseinsstrom des Autors in die verschiedensten Lebensbereiche. Skepsis gegen ber jeglichen Dogmen, stoische Geringsch tzung von u erlichkeiten sowie Ablehnung menschlicher berheblichkeit gegen ber anderen Naturgesch pfen kennzeichnen die Essais, in denen sich der Autor mit einer Vielzahl von Themen auseinandersetzt: Literatur, Philosophie, Sittlichkeit, Erziehung usw. . In letzterer Hinsicht betonte er den Wert konkreter Erfahrung und unabh ngigen Urteilens als Ziele der Bildung junger Menschen. Montaigne erweiterte und redigierte seine Essais zeitlebens. In den letzten vier Lebensjahren erhielt er bei seinen literarischen Arbeiten an den Essais Unterst tzung von der jungen Adligen Marie de Gournay, welche 1595 die erste Gesamtausgabe der Essais besorgte. Dieser Band beinhaltet die folgenden 16 Essays des franz sischen Philosophen und Politikers: Das Gef hl f r das Gute und B se h ngt gro enteils von der Meinung ab, die wir davon hegen. Von der Angewohnheit und von der Mi lichkeit, gewohnte Gesetze zu ndern. Von der Pedanterei. ber die Kinderzucht: an Madame Diane de Foix, Gr fin de Gurson. ber die Freundschaft. Von der M igung. ber die Einsamkeit. Unsere Begierden wachsen durch die Schwierigkeiten. ber Lob, Preis und Ruhm. Von der Gewissensfreiheit. Was n tzlich ist und was ehrlich. ber die Nachteile, welche mit Hoheit und Gr e verkn pft sind. Man mu seinen Willen beschr nken. Von Hinkenden. Von der Physiognomie. Von der Erfahrung.
