TODAY IN PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY: Montaigne on Historical Anecdotes and Archetypes


Saturday 28 February 2026 is the 493rd anniversary of the birth of Michel Eyquem, Seigneur de Montaigne (28 February 1533 – 13 September 1592), who was born at the family estate, Château de Montaigne, on this date in 1533.


Michel de Montaigne loved anecdotes and constructed many of his essays around memorable anecdotes. His contemporary, Jean Bodin, wasn’t as enthusiastic, criticizing Plutarch for passing along stories Bodin believed to be “incredible and entirely fabulous.” Montaigne came to Plutarch’s defense, and in so doing revealed a different sensibility about history than that of Bodin.
