Listen "Michel de Montaigne, Essays - On Anger - Sadler's Lectures"
Episode Synopsis
This lecture discusses key ideas from the Renaissance-era philosopher, critic, and essayist Michel De Montaigne's work Essays, specifically his essay On Anger
It focuses upon his views on this emotion, partly drawn from other thinkers like Seneca and Plutarch. First Montaigne discusses children and other vulnerable people who suffer from cruel and violent punishments doled out in anger. He then discusses how anger tends to deform our judgements, leading angry people to dig in and get angry with truth or innocence itself. He also discusses the example Plutarch himself provides of imposing punishment when needed but not doing so out of anger
