(  ) Porius | Jun 11, 2009 |   JamesBoswell | May 5, 2009 | French Classic Essays Budz888 | May 31, 2008 | Even if he is the father of the essay, I find him somewhat vain and not completely poignant. However, the last passages of "Of Experience" do bring together some thoughtful points about the meaning of life and he does share some interesting anecdotes throughout -- particularly in reference to Socrates, Alcibiades, and other famous classical figures. Given the times in which he lived and his experiences, he does also found the essay with the perspective of the classics, religion, and modern society. I can see why the French so highly revered him.
