the essays. He was the man who first introduced the essay into English

outpours his heart in his essay. He saw all life around him along with sweet,
smart and stinging experience of life. He was inclined both the circumstance of
his time on the variety of life, its business and pleasures. In most of his
essays he represents the skeptical class of his contemporary society. But
Montaigne added the peculiarity of his own temperament to his skepticism.
Montaigne believes that a skeptical person always doubts the truth of
particular claim, theory and especially the truth of the Christian religion or
the all religions. Montaigne found his society more skeptical and he himself
was not inclined to believe anything unless he had fund proof of it. He had a
habit of questioning the truth about all his contemporary burning questions of
education the children, maintaining friendship with people, how select friends and foes, how to selected
books for reading, how to judge people from their behavior and actions and so
on. He had doubting state of mind on every question.
