Recluses: Michel de Montaigne

Naomi Alderman returns with her series that explores the minds of the greatest thinkers in history. From political theorists to scientists to inventors, authors and artists. Our world is based on their ideas and innovations. How did they do their work, what did they struggle with, where did they find their dedication, creativity and inspiration?

French philosopher Michel de Montaigne was fascinated by the study of his own mind – with its changing nature and lack of fixed ideas. He would spend days and days rewriting his thoughts, questioning himself and challenging his own opinions. How did he do his thinking, and what can the study of his mind reveal about how we view ourselves?

Special thanks to David Wootton Emeritus Professor of History at the University of York.

Produced by BBC Studios in partnership with The Open University.
