From the 100-part Penguin Nice Concepts sequence comes a rumination on relationships, courtesy of some of the influential French Renaissance philosophers.
Michel de Montaigne was the originator of the trendy essay type; in these various items he expresses his views on friendship, contemplates the concept that man is not any totally different from any animal, argues that each one cultures needs to be revered, and makes an attempt, by an exploration of himself, to grasp the character of humanity.
Penguin Nice Concepts:
All through historical past, some books have modified the world. They’ve reworked the best way we see ourselves—and one another. They’ve impressed debate, dissent, struggle, and revolution. They’ve enlightened, outraged, provoked, and comforted. They’ve enriched lives—and destroyed them. Now Penguin Nice Concepts brings you the works of the good thinkers, pioneers, radicals, and visionaries whose concepts shook civilization and helped make us who we’re. Different titles within the sequence embrace Niccolò Machiavelli’s The Prince, Thomas Paine’s Frequent Sense, and Charles Darwin’s On Pure Choice.

Excellent book of philosophy
This material was written by Michel de Montaigne in the sixteenth century. It is a collecton of seven philophical essays. One is devoted to each of the following subjects: friendship, not being judgemental, the art of conversation, idleness, paternal affection towards their children, moderation, the nature of happiness while living. I found this to be a very easy to read and enlightening collection of philosophy, that I believe you will enjoy also. The author of this work was very influential to many thinkers through out the centuries down to our time. This book was cited by a recent book I read by Joseph Epstein, Friendship, an expose.”When the soul is without a definite aim she gets lost; for, as they say, if you are everywhere you are nowhere.””I hold that you will never achieve by force what you cannot achieve by reason, intelligence and skill.”If you enjoyed the above examples you will love this book.

A great classic in wonderful presentation.
Like all of the other Penguin Classic Books series, this text is absolutely gorgeous and significant, inside and out. The cover is lushly decorated and the writing is a classic work that is an easy read. This is a definite must for one’s personal library.

Tedious.
Philosophy has never been my cup of tea. I really had to push myself to get through this book. There were a few good musings which saved it from a 1 star rating.
