Narrated by Alain de Botton, this is one of 6 parts in the series, Philosophy - A Guide To Happiness. This episode explores the philosophy of Michel Eyquem de Montaigne (1533–1592), one of the most influential writers of the French Renaissance. Montaigne is known for popularizing the essay as a literary genre. He became famous for his effortless ability to merge serious intellectual speculation with casual anecdotes and autobiography — and his massive volume Essais (translated literally as “Attempts”) contains, to this day, some of the most widely influential essays ever written.
