Enlightenment Philosophy

French philosophy has been led on by three most influent thinkers, each one bordering on literature and bringing new understandings to politics, philosophy, and religion. Michel de Montaigne is known for popularizing the essay as a literary genre; his style merges casual anecdotes and autobiography with deep intellectual insights.

"When a man enters a dark room he is not sure of his movements, he cannot see objects around him, or properly locate them, and is liable to hurt himself by coming into sudden contact with them. But let a light be introduced, and immediately all confusion disappears.... To the majority, life is such a dark room, and their frequent hurts...are caused by sudden contact with principles which they do not see, and are therefore not prepared to deal with. But when the light of wisdom is introduced into the darkened understanding, confusion vanishes...." (from the foreword by James Allen)

"All desires are a disguise covering up one real desire: the desire to be free." In this conversation, the biggest misconceptions about enlightenment are exposed.

Finally enlightened to the truths of life and suffering, he set off on a mission to spread his teachings far and wide. Today, the questions that he spent his life seeking answers to are more prevalent than ever before.

As the heart, so is the life. The within is ceaselessly becoming the without. Nothing remains unrevealed. That which is hidden is but for a time; it ripens and comes forth at last. Seed, tree, blossom, and fruit are the fourfold order of the universe. From the state of a man’s heart proceed the conditions of his life. His thoughts blossom into deeds; and his deeds bear the fruitage of character and destiny.
