He's a genius and has never, in my opinion, received the amount of credit and dissection that he deserves. His idle mind is an interesting place, and paradoxes that run wild aren't easy for most to understand. Sliding and stacking boxes, I used to say.

Like the art of the "essay"- something so simple- yet he alone: seemingly bestowed on all of European society- Montaigne's allure is almost angelic in its purest form: he alone can fly because he takes himself lightly. Only his critics were weighed down by their heaviness.

Suffice it to say part of Montaigne's genius is "questioning" the utility of "doing things as we have been taught to do" if, in fact, there is a wider scope to juxtapose the operative facts- if not merely to think in wider circles of thought for the sake of doing so: b/c we can.

If one culture buries their dead & another cremates their dead pursuant to traditions- much less religious beliefs- why shouldn't a more progressive State ensure citizens have the right to pursue either according to preference vs. one or the other: even if the "traditional view?"

Not coincidentally, therefore one of Montaigne's best contribution to Western thought was Cultural Relativism- it was powerful evidence to demonstrate why, in fact, "liberalism" was "more just, practical and reasonable" than any one culture's viewpoint. Think about it.

Conspicuously, much of "liberalism" is the firmly-held belief that enlightened society is better governed according to State-mandated guidelines that ensure ordered liberty for all vs. the whimsical and easily corruptible preferences of one "conservative" view point.

God knows but it won't include war crimes. Or the last 6 Presidents who'd have all hung if Nuremburg Courts were still internationally dominant.
