Montaigne is the most important representative of French humanism in the late Renaissance. His Collection of Montaigne was published in France in three volumes from 1580 to 1588, with 107 papers. This is a paper on social politics, religion, ethics and philosophy. Montaigne's prose collection has been written for nearly 10 years. During this period, with the continuous development and change of the author's thoughts, the contents of the works have been revised and supplemented one after another. Montaigne,/kloc-a great French philosopher in the 6th century, showed us a splendid world of thought in his works, and we can find the light of wisdom between the lines.

Montaigne is a humanist writer. In his prose, he is not limited to profound book knowledge, but States his thoughts on individuals, human lifestyles and how to improve himself. For example, in the article "The judgment of good or bad mainly depends on our subjective views", he said: "The reason why we can't endure pain patiently is because we are not used to getting the main satisfaction from the mind and don't pay enough attention to it, but it is our state and realm. The body is just a way, a state. The heart is diverse and polymorphic, and it makes all kinds of feelings and accidents of the body obey its state. " Montaigne believes that if we are willing, objective pain can also be turned into happiness, and the key lies in how we look at it. This amazing argument is everywhere in the book. Montaigne will make us realize that the mind is great, it can control our words and deeds, our thinking, and even the objective things around us, which requires us to pay more attention to managing our own mind and improving our ideological realm, which is enough to make life much better.

In the era of Montaigne, philosophers were deeply bound by religion, despised life, belittled life as killing time, and tried to avoid it, "as if it were a kind of hard labor and a cheap thing." Montaigne regards life as a "generous gift from nature" and claims that "a happy life is a masterpiece of life". In Montaigne's view, only by living naturally can we live happily. He believes that a person should never say that life is happy until he has finished the last scene of the comedy of life, which may also be the most difficult scene, because happiness depends on a peaceful and contented attitude and a decisive and confident attitude. He said: "people may wear masks all their lives;" Those beautiful philosophical remarks are only used to decorate our manners; Those unexpected experiences don't want to push us down completely, so we can always keep a calm face. However, when we face death and play the last role in life, there is nothing to pretend. We must tell the truth and speak our minds directly, which is why our actions in life must be tested at the last minute. " This passage makes sense. It is true that only in the face of death, or after death, can we have a deeper understanding of life and a clearer and more essential understanding of things around us. The so-called fame and fortune, the so-called "happiness", may be just empty. When we don't need hypocrisy, we realize that indifference to fame and fortune, tranquility and far-reaching may be the real pursuit. At this time, what hatred, anger, ecstasy, and grief are no longer important, and we find that if we look down on everything, we will be much more comfortable. We always have regrets before we die, and it is precisely because we can't find what we really pursue before, and we can't understand what "real happiness" is, and we can only decide after we die.

Montaigne's philosophy is an introspective consciousness. He believes that since everyone has the seeds of cosmic rationality in his heart, no one knows better than himself how to live, how to improve himself and how to be a man. In today's materialistic spiritual society, Montaigne's thought is undoubtedly an indispensable sobering agent. Therefore, Montaigne's article is more suitable to look at it from the perspective of life and think about many problems encountered in his life. You can learn something from his prose and smile.

After the publication of Montaigne Anthology, it had a far-reaching impact. /kloc-in the 0/7th century, all kinds of people liked Montaigne's works. Madame de Sevigny praised the charm of Montaigne: "I have many good books, and Montaigne is the best. He will never fool you. What else do you need? " Charlie sorrell called this work "a daily textbook for the court and the world".

/kloc-in the 0/8th century, people praised Montaigne. Montesquieu said: "In most works, I saw people who wrote books; In this book, I saw a thinker. " Voltaire loudly praised Montaigne when refuting Pascal: "Montaigne described himself as simple as he did." What a great idea! Because he depicts human nature ... "

By the19th century, Montaigne's admirers were all over the world. Stendhal often quotes Montaigne's articles when he writes about love. Goethe and Schiller in Germany, Byron and Thackeray in Britain, and later Emerson in the United States all admired Montaigne.

Half a century ago, Dr. Armangau founded the Montaigne Friendship Association. Today, the members of the association are all over the world. However, there are countless people who did not participate in Montaigne Friendship Association, talked with Montaigne privately, and learned the truth of self-cultivation from Montaigne. Montaigne has long been a close personal friend of people who pursue spiritual independence, and reading Montaigne has become the best place for people's spiritual leisure.
