"When philosophy paints its grey in grey then has a shape of life grown old. By philosophy's grey in grey it cannot be rejuvenated but only understood. The owl of Minerva spreads its wings only with the falling of dusk." -- G.W.F. Hegel, 'Preface', Philosophy of Right.

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.
