This lecture discusses key ideas from the Renaissance-era philosopher, critic, and essayist Michel De Montaigne's work Essays, specifically his essay On Repentance (Du Repentir). This one focuses on Montaigne's own explanations about why he tends not to feel repentance, and has only a few regrets. A significant part of this stems from several somewhat unusual aspects of his own mindset. He acknowledges that he can desire to be completely different, even condemn himself objectively, but this shouldn't be called "repentance" any more than grieving that he isn't an ideal person (or someone close).

This lecture discusses key ideas from the Renaissance-era philosopher, critic, and essayist Michel De Montaigne's work Essays, specifically his essay On Repentance (Du Repentir). This one focuses on his discussions, running through much of the essay of the repentance that other people, from his observation of them, exhibit genuinely, exhibit in stereotyped or false ways, or don't exhibit at all. He also discusses the relationship between vices and sins or wrong actions, people's habits, judgements, and reason, and whether or not they feel repentance.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the Renaissance-era philosopher, critic, and essayist Michel De Montaigne's work Essays, specifically his essay On Repentance (Du Repentir). This one focuses on the remarks and reflections he provides about his more general project in writing and publishing his Essays. He tells us that he provides an account of the human being and the human condition, primarily by drawing upon his knowledge of his own self and his observations of other people and the world. In fact, any sufficiently reflective person can provide a locus for thinking through moral philosophy. At the same time, he affirms, we are all subject to variability and change, and his own soul is not entirely tested and established, but still in apprenticeship.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the Renaissance-era philosopher, critic, and essayist Michel De Montaigne's work Essays, specifically his essay "On Solitude" (De la Solitude). It discusses the last portion of that essay, where he examines three main sets of motivations for retiring into solitude: religion, pleasure, and ambition. The first of these he acknowledges to be something great, but admits that it isn't something he can relate to. Pleasure is a legitimate reason for going into retirement, and Montaigne provides a number of principles and considerations for making one's solitude as pleasant as it can be. Ambition in his view is rather counter-productive, since you effectively bring the world and the esteem of others into your very retirement.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the Renaissance-era philosopher, critic, and essayist Michel De Montaigne's work Essays, specifically his essay "On Solitude" (De la Solitude). It discusses how people might best cultivate solitude in the later portions of their life, when they withdraw from many of their active involvements, duties, and relationships, and learn to be on their own. One needs to determine what occupations will be enjoyable for oneself and avoid those that will just bring troubles and cares.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the Renaissance-era philosopher, critic, and essayist Michel De Montaigne's work Essays, specifically his essay "On Solitude" (De la Solitude). It discusses the first portion of the essay, where he tells us that nothing is more insociable and sociable as a human being, the one by our vice, and the other by our nature. Our vices prevent us from actually enjoying solitude from other human beings, since we are unable to be a good friend or companion to ourselves. Montaigne advocates learning how to be on our own by improving our own character.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the Renaissance-era philosopher, critic, and essayist Michel De Montaigne's work Essays, specifically his essay On Fear (De la Peur), in which he discusses that emotion, noting that he isn't a natural scientist, so that he won't be investigating the causes of fear, but taking a more phenomenological attitude towards the emotion. He notes that fear can take our judgement away or astray, and admits that what he fears the most is fear itself. He also discusses a number of characteristic effects of fear, which include flight, fight, and freezing, or even dying.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the Renaissance-era philosopher, critic, and essayist Michel De Montaigne's work Essays, specifically his essay "On Sadness" (De la Tristesse), where Montaigne begins by noting that he does not like or value this emotion, but is also not often subject to it either. By contrast, it seems that many people in the world do value it and even associate it with wisdom, virtue, and conscience. Montaigne discusses several stories about people who at first do not express their sadness at a great loss befalling their family, but then do so with people they presumedly are less close to, and examines two explanations given for this. One is that the person hits a sort of saturation point with their capacity to deal with the emotion, and then they give way to tears and sadness. The other is that some losses are too great to even be expressed at the time. He also discusses several other emotions that can strongly affect us, in particular erotic love, joy, and shame.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the Renaissance-era philosopher, critic, and essayist Michel De Montaigne's work Essays, specifically his essay "That Difficulty Increases Desire" (Que Nostre Desir S'accroit par la Malaisance), which begins by invoking a principle and practice from the Skeptic school, that every argument, position, or "reason" has its contrary. Montaigne considers one position briefly, that our pleasure or joy in a good depends on our feeling of security in its possession, and then examines a number of reasons and examples for the opposed position, that our desire and appreciation of a good we are attracted to is enhanced by the difficulty in attaining it and our lack of security of its possession. This principle applies to warfare and crime, to sexuality and marriage, to religious institutions and movements, among other examples.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the Renaissance-era philosopher, critic, and essayist Michel De Montaigne's work Essays, specifically his essay "On Democritus and Heraclitus" It focuses upon his critical contrast of these two thinkers and the temperaments or attitudes towards life they represent, one of laughter and disdain, the other of sadness, compassion, and taking human affairs seriously. It ends with the claim that what is the specific property of human beings is being laughable and able to laugh. He also discusses several other matters, including his general approach in his Essays, and how we can look at the relations between our souls, external goods, and fortune To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadler If you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoM You can find over 4,000 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadler You can find Montaigne's Essays here - https://amzn.to/4l3iKfH

This lecture discusses key ideas from the Renaissance-era philosopher, critic, and essayist Michel De Montaigne's work Essays, specifically his essay On Not Judging Us Happy Until After Death (Qu'Il ne Faut Juger de Nostre Heur, Qu'apres la Mort), in which he begins by considering the famous advice given by the Athenian wise man Solon to Croesus, king of Lydia until he was deposed by Cyrus of Persia, namely not to judge any person happy until after their death. Montaigne notes that many people do experience shifts in their condition due to fortune, and provides examples from history and his own era. Then he notes that because Solon was a philosopher, he likely did not mean the advice to focus solely on external goods that are really indifferents, and in the control of Fortune, since the happiness of a person really has to do with the condition of their soul. We can determine whether someone really is committed to their philosophy or not by what is revealed in their last day as they die. Some people redeem themselves by their way of dying, while others betray themselves.

Confront your MortalityWe hope you enjoyed listening to this podcast and hope this video, from the philosophy of Montaigne, helps you to quit rat race and enjoy your life.Michel de Montaigne was a 16th-century French philosopher who defined ambition not as a virtue but as an unnatural "disease of the soul" because it makes people sacrifice the life they have right now for a future that might never even happen. In 1571, right on his 38th birthday, he walked into his office and permanently resigned from his position as a judge in the Bordeaux parliament. It was exactly the kind of role Renaissance men spent their whole lives networking, scheming, and stressing out to get. He quit, moved back to his family's estate in the French countryside, and set himself up in a stone tower on the property. He built a massive library there and had 54 quotes from ancient philosophers carved into the wooden beams of his ceiling. From that point on, he spent his time studying the only subject he actually wanted to understand: himself. He observed his own habits, flaws, and everyday routines, and wrote down his thoughts about them and he called these writings Essais—which comes from the French word meaning "to try" or "to attempt" and is of course where we get the English word ‘essay'.

Mit dieser Folge widmet sich „Der Pudel und der Kern“ einem der einflussreichsten Denker der Neuzeit: Michel de Montaigne. Der französische Philosoph gilt als Begründer des Essays, jener persönlichen Denkform, in der er mit unvergleichlicher Offenheit über das Leben, den Menschen und sich selbst nachdachte. Montaignes Texte sind keine abstrakte Theorie, sondern gelebte Philosophie: neugierig, zweifelnd, unvollendet und gerade deshalb so modern. Albert und Jan sprechen darüber, wie Montaignes Gedanken uns heute Orientierung bieten können. Was lernen wir aus seinem berühmten „Was weiß ich?“ über den Umgang mit Unsicherheit? Wie helfen uns seine Reflexionen über Freundschaft, Zufall, Gewohnheit und den eigenen Charakter im Alltag? Und was bedeutet Montaignes Haltung für ein gelingendes Leben jenseits von Dogmen und Selbstoptimierungsdruck?

450 lat temu francuski myśliciel Michel de Montaigne odkrył sekret, który może całkowicie zmienić Twoje życie. W wieku 38 lat porzucił karierę, zamknął się w wieży pełnej książek i zaczął rewolucyjny eksperyment – pisanie o tym, czego NIE wie. To właśnie ta odwaga stała się fundamentem jego geniuszu.

Nous sommes le 1er mars 1580. Date des premières impressions, à Bordeaux, des « Essais », œuvre majeure de Michel de Montaigne. Elle traite de sujets divers et variés : médecine, arts, affaires domestiques, histoire ancienne, chevaux, entre autres, auxquels l'auteur mêle des réflexions sur sa propre vie et sur le genre humain. Montaigne s'observe. Ainsi, il écrit : « Moi qui m'épie de plus près, qui ai les yeux incessamment tendus sur moi, comme celui qui n'a pas fort à faire ailleurs, [...] à peine oserai-je dire la vanité et la faiblesse que je trouve chez moi.» Plus loin, il ajoute : « Les auteurs se communiquent au peuple par quelque marque particulière et étrangère ; moi le premier par mon être universel, comme Michel de Montaigne, non comme grammairien ou poète ou jurisconsulte. » Enfin : « Toute gloire que je prétends de ma vie, c'est de l'avoir vécue tranquille : tranquille non selon Métrodore, ou Arcésilas, ou Aristippe, mais selon moi. Puisque la philosophie n'a su trouver aucune voie pour la tranquillité qui fût bonne en commun, que chacun la cherche en son particulier ». Le philosophe humaniste de la Renaissance a-t-il des choses à nous dire, aujourd'hui ? Lui qui s'est attaché à démontrer la faiblesse de la raison humaine et à fonder l'art de vivre sur une sagesse prudente, faite de bon sens et de tolérance.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the Renaissance-era philosopher, critic, and essayist Michel De Montaigne's work Essays, specifically his essay How We Weep And Laugh At The Same Thing It focuses upon the inconsistency of emotions we witness in a number of different people (including Montaigne himself), which should keep us from ascribing a fixed an immutable character to them. Montaigne explains that this has two sources, one within us, as we have a number of different emotions at any given time, though one dominates. The other source is that reality is complex and as we change our perspective, changes in emotional response can also take place To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadler If you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoM You can find over 3,000 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadler You can find Montaigne's Essays here - https://amzn.to/4l3iKfH

Nous sommes dans les années 1570/1580 , celles durant lesquelles Michel de Montaigne s'affaire à la rédaction de ses Essais. Cet ouvrage dans lequel le philiosophe traite d'un nombre considérable de sujets allant de la médecine aux affaires domestiques en passant par les arts et l'histoire des chevaux. Il y mêle des réflexions sur sa propre vie et sur celle de l'Humain, en général. Les Essais nous montrent aussi, et peut-être surtout, comment vivre ou survivre en temps de guerre civile, de guerre de religion. Dans le Livre IIl, Montaigne écrit : « Je me suis couché mille fois chez moi, imaginant qu'on me trahirait et assommerait cette nuit-là : composant avec la fortune que ce fut sans effroi et sans langueur. Et me suis écrié après mon patenôtre : « Ces terres que j'ai tant cultivées, c'est donc un soldat impie qui les aura ? » (Montaigne écrit ces derniers mots en latin.) Il notera aussi : « Je passais un jour de paix, pendant nos guerres civiles, avec un honnête gentilhomme et de bonne façon. Il était du parti contraire au mien mais je n'en savais rien : car il se contrefaisait tout autre ; et le pis de ces guerres, c'est que les cartes sont si mêlées, votre ennemi n'étant distingué d'avec vous de nulle marque apparente, ni de langage, ni de port, ni de façon, nourri en mêmes lois, mêmes mœurs et même foyer, qu'il est malaisé d'y éviter confusion et désordre. » Comment survivre dans le monde incertain des guerres de Religion ? Comment mentir, se déguiser, simuler ou dissimuler sa confession religieuse ? Comment échapper à la dénonciation d'un proche ou d'un voisin ? Quels mots faut-il employer ? Comment les prononcer avec justesse ? Comment identifier les objets qui trahissent ? Comment être prudent ? Faut-il être sincère ? Partons en des temps où l'art de la maîtrise du secret est une question de vie ou de mort… Avec nous : Jérémie Foa, maître de conférence à Aix-Marseille Université. « Survivre – Une histoire des guerres de Religion » aux; éd.

En blandning mellan filosofi och självhjälpsbok

Nietzsche listed Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) among the best French writers of the Renaissance, and called him a link to classical antiquity. The personal seal of Montaigne read, “What do I know?” For Montaigne, doubting was no less pleasing than knowing, and he exemplified the philosopher's proclivity to inquire about every proposition. In his work we find the forerunner of not only skepticism, but Descartes' methodology of doubt and empiricist bent of Bacon. He is the inventor of the essay, a man who called his own mind “wandering and diverse”, and who wrote candidly about life, ethics, and the classics. He is a man of contradictions, who disparaged book-learning but whose works are abundant with quotations. In this episode, we'll consider his essays, Of the Education of Children, Defense of Raymond Sebond, Of Friendship, and That Philosophy is to Learn to Die, as well as take a brief peek into a handful of others. Join me in exploring the man Saint-Beauve called, “the wisest Frenchman who ever lived.”

In this episode, we examine the life, context, and philosophy of Montaigne.

(NOTAS Y ENLACES COMPLETOS DEL CAPÍTULO AQUÍ: https://www.jaimerodriguezdesantiago.com/kaizen/169-el-arte-de-vivir-montaigne-iii-viajes-autenticidad-y-ataraxia/) Hoy volvemos una vez más a Montaigne, para rematar esta trilogía que le hemos dedicado en nuestra búsqueda de ideas sobre cómo vivir, a partir del estupendo libro de Sarah Bakewell, cuyo título encaja bastante bien porque se llama «Cómo vivir. O una vida con Montaigne en una pregunta y veinte intentos de respuesta».Que terminemos esta trilogía no quiere decir en absoluto que nos terminemos a Montaigne porque es casi infinito ya que, como veremos hoy, todos le seguimos añadiendo de todo. Y es que, como te decía en los capítulos anteriores, Montaigne nació hace casi cinco siglos, pero ha sido reinterpretado una y otra vez por todas las generaciones que lo han leído desde entonces y todas han sentido que de alguna forma les hablaba a ellas. El suyo es un caso extraño, el de alguien que escribía cuanto se le venía a la cabeza sobre su vida, sin aparentemente adornarla demasiado ni preocuparse por lo que otros podrían pensar. Eso, en su época era casi único: si alguien escribía unas memorias lo hacía para ensalzar su propia figura y para destacar los eventos más importantes de su vida, lo que no dejaba casi espacio para reflexiones sobre los aspectos más mundanos y sencillos de la vida. Hoy sin embargo podríamos decir que es casi al revés: de una forma u otra, nos exhibimos casi todos de forma constante en todo tipo de medios y redes, mostramos dónde comemos y con quien o les contamos nuestras penas a quienes se cruzan con nuestros mensajes, nos conozcan o no. Algunos hasta hacemos podcasts. Pero esas también son realidades embellecidas, filtradas y seleccionadas. Montaigne no parecía hacer ni una cosa ni la otra. Seguro que omitió unas cosas y adornó otras, pero la sensación que deja es la de alguien poco preocupado por eso, simplemente entretenido con sus propios pensamientos, que decide dejarlos por escrito, independientemente de si son profundos o superficiales. En los dos capítulos anteriores, repasamos buena parte de esas respuestas a esa pregunta sobre cómo vivir que Bakewell encuentra en la vida y en los Ensayos de Montaigne. Cubrimos más o menos los dos primeros tercios. En el primero, hablamos de cómo vivir sin preocuparse de la muerte, de cómo nuestra perspectiva del mundo está sesgada y limitada, de los efectos de vivir habiendo sido criado de una forma diferente. También hablamos de la importancia de leer mucho, pero sin poner a los autores en pedestales; de la curiosidad como motor de la vida, de cómo vivir con atención. Y de cómo lidiar con los vaivenes que nos encontramos en nuestro camino, apoyándonos en las enseñanzas milenarias del estoicismo, el epicureismo y el escepticismo.  En el segundo capítulo nos adentramos en otras partes de la vida de Montaigne, algunas más criticables que otras. Hablamos sobre la importancia de preservar un espacio físico y mental propio, para nosotros mismos, aunque en el caso de Montaigne fuera también una forma de escaquearse de sus responsabilidades domésticas. Tratamos también la importancia de ser sociables, de ser capaces de conversar sobre cualquier tema, como una vía de aprendizaje, pero también como una vía para conectar con los demás. En eso de conectar con los demás, vimos también cómo Montaigne se empeñaba en apostar por la confianza. Lo hacía físicamente, manteniendo abiertas las puertas de su castillo incluso en los momentos álgidos de las guerras religiosas en Francia; pero también filosóficamente porque vivía convencido de que todos pertenecemos a algo mayor y compartido, no sólo entre los seres humanos, sino con todos los demás seres vivos. Aunque aquello no era únicamente una forma de conectar con otros, sino también una manera de exponerse él mismo a otras ideas y perspectivas. Mucho de lo que vimos en esos dos capítulos era extraño en tiempos de Montaigne. Pero es que, precisamente, esa va a ser la primera de las respuestas a cómo vivir de la que vamos a hablar hoy: «haz algo que nadie haya hecho antes»

Montaigne was a 16th century French philosopher and essayist who wrote short, single-page essay and far longer ones.  Today's quote comes from one such essay and sets the tone, right from the start, that WE control how we respond to the inevitable hardships and torments of life.  We can, with effort, choose not to be victims of circumstance and allow them to perpetually harm us, but instead repurpose them for good, both for ourselves and for others.

O más bien algo de vértigo ante la velocidad a la que pasa mi vida. No debo ser el único, ni debe ser algo moderno, ni únicamente occidental, porque pocos temas se han repetido tanto en la historia de la humanidad como las reflexiones sobre el arte de vivir. Haz la prueba, busca en Google o en Amazon simplemente eso, “el arte de vivir” y de pronto te encontrarás casi infinitas obras clásicas y modernas de muy distinto pelaje. Desde Séneca al Dalai Lama, de Krishnamurti a Schopenhauer, de El arte de vivir en soledad a El arte de vivir en pareja, de hacerlo con sencillez o de hacerlo sin miedo. Por salirme, me ha salido hasta una biografía ilustrada de Lola Flores. Esa no la vi venir.Pero, ¿por qué vivir es un arte? El arte es un concepto que tiene infinitas definiciones. Las más habituales tienen que ver con usar la creatividad y la imaginación para crear obras bellas o que expresen sentimientos. Pero, otra forma de verlo, es a través de su naturaleza. La naturaleza del arte es una en la que no hay reglas definidas. No hay una única forma de hacer buen arte, ni la misma manera gusta a todo el mundo. Es más, siempre se pueden encontrar nuevas formas de hacer arte. Decía Susan Sontag que el arte es una forma de consciencia, una manera dinámica de contemplar. Por eso, vivir es también un arte. Porque no hay reglas definidas, ni realmente universales, y porque las decisiones que tomamos en nuestra vida son la forma en la que expresamos nuestras conclusiones de contemplar lo que nos pasa. Que sea un arte, no significa no significa que no podamos aprender de todos aquellos que se obsesionaron sobre el tema antes; igual que un artista puede aprender e inspirarse con otros artistas tan diferentes como Velázquez, El Bosco, Warhol o Kandinsky. O Lola Flores, por supuesto.  Hoy retomamos la serie de diseño vital —esa que en temporadas anteriores usamos para buscar ideas que aplicar en nuestra vida— y lo hacemos para sumergirnos en algunas reflexiones, actuales y clásicas, sobre cómo vivir. Seguramente nos lleve algunos capítulos, no sé cuántos. Aunque, bien pensado, puede llevar toda una vida.
