主持人：蒙田的哲学核心在于学习如何面对死亡，这源于他个人差点致死的经历，以及对传统哲学的反思。他强调个人经验的重要性，认为个人经验胜过其他证据，并以此构建其哲学体系。蒙田的哲学并非一个严谨的系统，而更像是一系列的个人思考和感悟，融合了斯多葛主义、怀疑主义、犬儒主义和享乐主义等多种思想流派。他主张人们应该摆脱对社会规范和他人认可的过度依赖，以一种更平和的心态去面对生活和死亡，接受自身的局限性，并从个人经验中获得智慧。他认为，人们对死亡的恐惧源于对死亡的无知和对世俗名利的过度追求，而通过哲学的反思，可以帮助人们认识到这些追求的虚妄，从而获得内心的平静。蒙田鼓励人们从不同的视角看待自身与世界，摆脱对社会规范的盲目服从，并从个人经验中获得对生活的独特理解。

Montaigne's fear of death was significantly reduced after a near-death experience, which led him to value personal experience over abstract theories.

Shownotes Transcript

On this episode of the podcast, we learn about Michel de Montaigne. We first discuss how a case of 16th century road rage led to a near-death experience which ironically helped Montaigne overcome his fear of dying. Next, we learn why Montaigne valued personal experience above all other evidence, and how his philosophy drew from the four dominant schools of thought of the Hellenistic age. Finally, we find out why Montaigne thought that “to philosophize is to learn how to die,” and how he believed this idea could be put into practice. All this and more on the latest episode of Philosophize This!
