[ED: Hardcover], [PU: Cambridge University Press], Michel de Montaigne, the inventor of the essay, has always been acknowledged as a great literary figure but has never been thought of as a philosophical original. This book is the first to treat Montaigne as a serious thinker in his own right, taking as its point of departure Montaigne's description of himself as 'an unpremeditated and accidental philosopher'. Whereas previous commentators have treated Montaigne's Essays as embodying a skepticism harking back to classical sources, Ann Hartle offers a fresh account that reveals Montaigne's thought to be dialectical, transforming skeptical doubt into wonder at the most familiar aspects of life. This major reassessment of a much admired but also much underestimated thinker will interest a wide range of historians of philosophy as well as scholars in comparative literature, French studies and the history of ideas. Table of contents: Part I. A New Figure: 1. 'That is where he got it!' 2. Bending and stretching the categories of traditional metaphysics 3. The essay's philosophical form Part II. Accidental Philosophy: 4. Accidental philosophy: The circular dialectic of self-knowledge 5. 'What it means to believe' 6. The latent metaphysics of accidental philosophy Part III. The Character of the Accidental Philosopher: 7. Montaigne's character: the great-souled man without pride 8. What he learned in the nursery: accidental moral philosophy and Montaigne's reformation 9. Christianity and the limits of politics. Montaigne is acknowledged as a great literary figure but has never been thought of as a philosophical original. This book is the first to treat Montaigne as a serious thinker in his own right, taking as its point of departure Montaigne's description of himself as 'an unpremeditated and accidental philosopher'. This is the first to treat Montaigne as a serious thinker in his own right. 312 pages Versandfertig in 3-5 Tagen, DE, [SC: 0.00], Neuware, gewerbliches Angebot, Offene Rechnung (Vorkasse vorbehalten)<
