The book explores Montaigne's philosophy, presenting the self as a continuously constructed project rather than a fixed source of knowledge. Bencivenga critiques the Cartesian view of self-consciousness, arguing it offers a false certainty akin to faith. He highlights Montaigne's assertion that self-exploration is central to understanding oneself, emphasizing the necessity of practical effort and ongoing discipline in self-formation. This process is characterized as revolutionary and playful, aligning with the critical nature of philosophical inquiry.
