Michel Eyquem de Montaigne, also known as Lord of Montaigne, was one of the most significant philosophers of the French Renaissance.
He is known for popularizing the essay as a literary genre. His work is noted for its merging of casual anecdotes and autobiography with intellectual insight.
He was born on 28 February 1533, Château de Montaigne and passed away on this day in 1592.
He influenced Jean-Jacques Rousseau, René Descartes, William Shakespeare, Blaise Pascal and more.
