I bought myself a Xmas present. Michel De Montaigne's Complete Essays. This is a book I've wanted to own for a long time. I've dipped into them before.
Writing philosophy in the form of essays to exorcize the demons strikes me as a good way to do philosophy. A way of writing that has been signposted by Seneca and Cicero. Essays are a better form than Seneca's Letters.
