«Vivre à propos: Montaigne traduit du japonais» is a philosophical essay by Michel de Montaigne, published by Flammarion in paperback (264 pages).
Michel Onfray and Pascal Hervieu offer a modern French version of two chapters of Montaigne's Essays, via a detour through Japanese. The work brings together «Of Experience» and «On Some Verses of Virgil», hedonistic texts that invite a "joyful wisdom": philosophy as a practical guide to life, not as abstract discourse.
The edition of Vivre à propos is in French, translated from Japanese by Pascal Hervieu, with a preface by Michel Onfray; it was published in 2009.
For those who want to approach Montaigne without the barrier of archaic French and for those seeking a philosophy that applies to life.
Michel Eyquem, Seigneur de Montaigne, commonly known as just Michel de Montaigne, was one of the most significant philosophers of the French Renaissance. He is known for popularising the essay as a literary genre. His work is noted for its merging of casual anecdotes and autobiography with intellectual insight. Montaigne had a direct influence on numerous writers of Western literature; his Essais contain some of the most influential essays ever written.
