Episode 25 - Michel de Montaigne & Samuel Beckett
Update: 2024-05-24
Description
In this extended episode, I explore some of the ideas and values that inform and animate the work of the sixteenth-century French thinker, Michel de Montaigne, and the twentieth-century writer and playwright, Samuel Beckett. I suggest that in the work of both of these figures we find echoes of the ideas and values of earlier sceptics – particularly Pyrrho of Elis and Sextus Empiricus. If you haven’t already done so, it may be as well to listen to Episode 17 of this podcast before you embark on this episode – as I explore some of the key ideas of this branch of scepticism in Episode 17.
