“Practising” – a pre-modern text, but at the same time post-Cartesian. Montaigne recounts an incident that happened to himself, and succeeds, by and through this narrative, in showing us how an experience that is painful or threatening can be transfigured, and the danger that lies in salvation. A radically actual text.

«Dell’esercitazione», testo pre-moderno, eppure già post-cartesiano. Montaigne ci raconta una sua avventura e riesce a mostrarci come si trasforma ciò che è doloroso o minaccioso in esperienza, il pericolo in ciò che salva. Il saggio II/6 è il più splendido esempio del « metodo » di Montaigne, radicalmente attuale.
