The Montaigne Project

February 18, 2015 by Alan Cook 1 Comment

In 2011, Dan Conley started, and completed, My Montaigne Project: a series of 107 essays, one a day for 107 days, each inspired by one of Montaigne's 107 Essais. The project almost, but not quite, landed him a book deal; this week he brought it back to the web with a newly designed website. He's writing some new essays; intends to focus, among other things, on Montaigne's alleged turn from stoicism to skepticism in the An Apology for Raymond Sebond (Penguin Classics) and plans to include links to all available public domain English translations of Montaigne's works.

(Here's the PEL podcast on Montaigne. And Seth,Wes, Mark and Daniel Horne have all posted links to, and commentary on, contemporary discussions of his life and work.)

    Thanks so much for the spotlight — I’m a huge fan of the show and the Montagine episode was one of my favorites. (I also loved the Cormac McCarthy episode. I’m such a big McCarthy fan that I even named one of my sons Cormac.)

    Anyway, thank you as well for driving traffic to my site. Keep it up and I’ll have to convince my wife to have a fourth son so I can name him after you.

About The Partially Examined Life

The Partially Examined Life is a philosophy podcast by some guys who were at one point set on doing philosophy for a living but then thought better of it. Each episode, we pick a text and chat about it with some balance between insight and flippancy. You don’t have to know any philosophy, or even to have read the text we’re talking about to (mostly) follow and (hopefully) enjoy the discussion
