It seems you are right! Thank you, always appreciate those who take the time to correct any mistakes I happen to make. Hope the video was enjoyable aside from this misquote, thanks again!
@@gracefitzgerald2227 Good advice; I do the same with Will Durant on CZcams. I will check out the audiobook. I've learned a lot about Montaigne in the last week from Durant and CZcams; now I begin reading Freud: The Fusion of Science and Humanism. And "no," I do not see Psychoanalysis as a "science." Climate science history is enough for me, anyway. Thanks for your videos.
Thank you! I do the best I can at attempting to provide a good summation of any individual philosopher, and try to keep in mind that most of those who seek out my videos may never have read a single word, outside the occasional quote, that the philosopher has written. I am extremely happy to receive your feedback, thanks again!
Cheers friend, I am glad you enjoyed the video! If I could get a bit more consistent with my uploads I believe it would grow much faster. Now, finding the time to make it happen is still a work in progress.
Thank you! I am positive that, as long as I keep accruing great supporters such as yourself, I will eventually get there. Whether that take a year or 10 I will continue to create content because it is something that I truly enjoy doing.
You are correct, I am unsure how I did not notice this as I used the larger image again at 1:30, it even says his name right there. I suppose It would not be the first time I have made an oversight, thanks for the catch!
Interesting, my videos get posted so many places and I always find it most interesting to see where. I have not seen this sub-reddit before. What is its purpose? Also I hope to see you in further videos, as I said before it is always great to have those around who can spot errors if I should make them. Glad to have you here!
Thank you, and sorry for the late reply! I have been away for a couple of months and unable to contribute time to creating, but an excited to get back to it, your support is greatly appreciated!
I do not believe there were specific instances where he referenced them, though I would believe that he would be open to learning about their culture and not, as many did, see them as simple savages because they were foreign to his own cultural background.
Great information here but 7:55 went by really fast, maybe the video was getting too long or something but I was hoping you would at least mention Pascal. I believe Voltaire referred to Pascal's wager as "childish" but I can't imagine that would have bothered Montaigne. There is something interesting there with regards to how we deal with things we don't know. You can connect the dots all the way from Michel de Montaigne to Niels Bohr if you include Pascal.
Thank you Koen! I try to do the best I can, inevitably I do miss some things though. Perhaps a great topic for a future video! With my limited time to work on these projects I try to make them a length that I can edit in a reasonable amount of time, each minute is around 1 hour of editing, give or take. Hopefully I can get to Pascal and address it there! Cheers friend, your support as well as your critique is very much appreciated!
Can i say that he vouched for a somewhat more democratic view and application of philisophy? In my view, Academics tend to use a lot of hard words to describe some ideas and this method tends to exclude the majority of population.they try to affirm their "superiority" by writing/speaking in difficult terms. From what i gathered, Montaigne seems to think against this right?
I could only get from my translation that you like him as a thinker, though I could not decipher the first part of your comment. Anyway, thanks for watching!

He is above all my favorite. Not only is he funny but I sometimes learn more about the ancients through his POV.
Such an interesting mind to sit down with for an afternoon!
@@LetsTalkPhilosophy try most nights! I have the audio book and the narrator’s voice is so soothing I fall asleep like a child 😊
@Eat Shnitzel because you’re kind and informative, and I’m a little smarter because of it. Marcel Proust also loved Montaigne. ❤️
Can you please tell me how can I read his works? Like books and articles?

Great video. I like how it was extremely informative without feeling overwhelming. I subscribed and will be watching more.

I love this philosophy, it's almost buddhist. Thanks for help me to get ready for my exam!
I thoroughly enjoy reading Montaigne as well! I am glad this video was helpful, which class are you taking if you don't mind me asking?
Let's Talk Philosophy it’s french philosophy in the Institute of French Studies:))
@@tillieesz3276 that's awesome, it sounds like a great class, I'm happy you have the opportunity to attend it and I'm actually a bit jealous!
Let's Talk Philosophy unfortunately it feels a bit rushed because it’s only one semester :/
You will find a longer presentation of Montigue on Will Durant here on CZcams.
Great job on the video, thank you! I hope this channel gains more traction.

This is top quality in educational videos. What a discovery. Keep it up man!
Thank you for your kind words, and I am glad you are finding them helpful! Your support is very much appreciated.
I found out today that I am a direct descendant of him! Never knew where that part of my family was from and traced it back today.
Right on, I hope you got his mustache genes, unless female, then I hope that trait skipped you.
His empathy for animals was way ahead of its time.
your channel is wonderful and it's a shame it has not received the attention it deserves.

👍 Thank God for Montaigne
Agreed!
Great stuff bro! Awesome info!
A simplification and abridged version of Durant. Saved 30 minutes! Thanks.
Thank you for the kind words, I am always happy to bring Durant to whoever is open to listening!
Great video. Said clearly & slowly 👍
Great job man! Amazing video! Thank you =)
Thank you for the kind words, I am glad to have you a part of the community, welcome!
this is great you deserve more subscribers
The photo (5:26) next to the quote "why should we trust reason", is Pierre Charron (1541-1603), born eight years after Montaigne.
You are correct, I am unsure how I did not notice this as I used the larger image again at 1:30, it even says his name right there. I suppose It would not be the first time I have made an oversight, thanks for the catch!

Thank for watching T Broski!

What did Montaigne think of the Native Americans in the New World? Did they influence his views at all?
I do not believe there were specific instances where he referenced them, though I would believe that he would be open to learning about their culture and not, as many did, see them as simple savages because they were foreign to his own cultural background.
Very good! Also, see Freud: The Fusion of Science and Humanism, p. 73 - 45.
Thank you!
Great video, thank you very much , note to self(nts) watched 8:53
Where did you cite the quote of Durant from? I don't believe there is a chapter on Montaigne in The Story of Philosophy
