Abstract

In the final essay of Montaigne, named Of Experience, the author gave extensive criticism over the general misuse of judgement, while defining judgement quite peculiarly, which is that it is a faculty of the mind. How then, was this faculty that appears to be the rational part of the human mind but individuated from reasons defined by Montaigne? In what way do humans fail to properly utilize this faculty? What is the role of experience in the proper use of judgment? These questions shall be answered through a thorough analysis of this final work of the French thinker, through which we may find the form of the ideal that he looks to portray.
