Updated the external links again

I just removed the University of Adelaide link as that leads to nowhere and updated the Gutenberg link pointing to the wayback machine.

Shouldn't there be an article for each of Montaigne's essays?

Too many to all list here, with analysis and everything.

Also, Montaigne may have been a humanist, but he was also a Deist, not one of the raving atheist humanists.

I don't think Montaigne really espoused anything like the degree of cultural relativism we have today; he certainly observed and marveled at the variety of the peoples of the world, but in simply not being judgmental, I do not think he was being a relativist. I propose, therefore, to modify that sentence. User:Waster

Content

I am going to begin to add some more citations to the "Content" section, which currently links to a picture... Sissizheng (talk) 06:41, 5 February 2018 (UTC)

Content

I think the second paragraph of the content section needs some more citations. As I can see you're already aware of that. I think your additions to the article are really good. The citations you use are reliable, and the language you use seems neutral. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Caleb Jeffreys (talk • contribs) 19:10, 21 February 2018 (UTC)

on style

the previous description of montaigne's style was unrecognizable to me, and i have been reading montaigne for six decades. the paragraph itself is uninformed but also incoherent, attributing a "structured" rhetoric to a book famous for breaking structure with asides, insertions and revisions, and claiming his "argument" is not designed to prove anything. i checked the citation at Britannica and can find nothing to support the previous characterization.Drollere (talk) 17:22, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
