His classic work, \u003ci\u003eMontaigne in Motion\u003c\/i\u003e, is a subtly conceived and elegantly written study of the \u003ci\u003eEssais\u003c\/i\u003e of Montaigne, whose deceptively plainspoken meditations have entranced readers and stimulated philosophers since their first publication in 1580 and 1595.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere Starobinski offers a decidedly postmodern reading of Montaigne.
