He is also known for his ground-breaking exploration of the 'subject' or the 'self'. Terence Cave discusses these and other key aspects of the \u003ci\u003eEssais\u003c\/i\u003e (Montaigne's major work) not as philosophical themes but as features in the mapping of a mental landscape: the project of the \u003ci\u003eEssais\u003c\/i\u003e is cognitive rather than philosophical. Similarly, he reads the \u003ci\u003eEssais\u003c\/i\u003e not as 'essays' in the literary sense but as 'trials' or 'soundings' in which the manner of writing - the shape of the sentences, the use of metaphors and other figures - is crucial. Taking passages from many different chapters of the \u003ci\u003eEssais\u003c\/i\u003e, this book guides the reader through Montaigne's investigation of the 'subtle shades and stirrings' of the mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTerence Cave is Emeritus Professor of French Literature at the University of Oxford, Emeritus Research Fellow of St John's College, Oxford, and a Fellow of the British Academy.
