From Tod Machover’s Facebook page:
Am thinking about Michel de Montaigne today, in preparation for a trip to Montréal tomorrow to discuss a project based on Montaigne’s work. Montaigne invented the “essay” in the late 16th century, and his bold, undogmatic and unpretentious writings remain as fresh today as when they were first published. Can’t find a better guide for living. This excellent BBC Radio 4 discussion is a great intro. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00tt5kn
