Video Timeline and Summary Chapter 1. Father's Experiment (1533–1539) Montaigne, born at the Château de Montaigne, and the background of his transition from a merchant family to a noble family. His father's unique experiment in humanist education, which involved using only Latin instead of the rod and waking him with music every morning. Chapter 2. Whose Truth Is It? (1546–1563) Skepticism regarding the rote discipline of prestigious public education and the imperfection of man-made laws. The lifelong question that blossomed amidst the courtroom conflicts and the madness of religious wars witnessed during his time as a magistrate at the age of 24: "What do I know?" Chapter 3. The Miracle of Friendship (1557–1562) The fateful encounter with La Boétie, the genius humanist and author of *On Voluntary Servitude*. A bond of soul and ideological exchange that transcended the factions of the era, remembered through the confession, "It was because it was him, and it was because it was me." Chapter 4. After He Left (1563) The dignified death of a friend whom he defended at great risk amidst the plague that struck Bordeaux. Organizing his friend's posthumous works amidst a profound sense of loss, and the writing with himself that finally began to fill the void in his soul. Chapter 5. The Choice at Thirty-Eight (1571) A radical declaration of retirement, relinquishing a guaranteed position as a magistrate after inheriting the family estate following his father's death. An existential turning point that began with seclusion in the castle tower library (the Fortress of a Thousand Books), where he carved maxims into oak beams. Chapter 6. The Moment Death Was Before His Eyes (1570s) A vivid record of a fall from a horse while riding on a forest path, in which he collided with a warhorse and fainted. Reflections that led him to realize through a near-death experience that "true fear is not death itself, but the thought of death," and to observe even the suffering of a hereditary disease (kidney stones). Chapter 7. I Am the Subject of My Book (1572–1580) The birth of a new form, the "essay," which captures the process of contemplation while frankly confessing even his poor memory and daily laziness. A provocative preface stating, "Do not waste time reading this book," and the lifelong journey of revising *Essays*. Chapter 8. Why Do People Hate One Another? (1572–1585) The arrogance of civilization felt while witnessing the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre, and the establishment of a philosophy of tolerance through "suspension of judgment." During his tenure as Mayor of Bordeaux (1581–1585), his leadership of mediation preserved peace by excluding extremes amidst the crises of religious wars and the plague. Chapter 9. What Do I Know? (1585–1592) Return to the tower library after retiring as mayor, and an intellectual bond that transcended age with Marie de Gournay, a 22-year-old female intellectual. Filling the margins of Essays without laying down his pen even amidst physical decline, and meeting a peaceful death at the castle of his birth.
