More about this new column 'Philosophical Haiku' by Dr. Terence Green.
It kicks off with a haiku, presumably the author's own. But what do I know - I don't know if Montaigne ever haiku'd ?
So, will this column also turn to Montaigne's accounts of life and human experience: 'sadness, idleness, liars, and prognosticators; names, warhorses...cannibals, pedants...anger, smells, three good women, and thumbs' ? It really leaves you wanting more...'three good women', what's that about ?
Or will Terence shine his generous torch on to the face of fellow philosophers...any time, place or culture...?
Or a bit of both.
I look forward to finding out

I really enjoyed the short engaging piece which follows. A bit like Montaigne himself ? 'Conversing directly and pleasantly to the reader'.Turn your gaze inward
Observe your own finite self
Behold feeble man

OK, I love answering my own questions - the haiku is not Montaigne's.
From Contents page 3:
REGULARS
19 Philosophical Haiku: Montaigne
Terence Green summarises the sage in seventeen syllables.
So, this 'Philosophical Haiku' header is far more attractive and clickable, to me, than PN article 'Michel de Montaigne (1533- 1592)' which sounds not exactly a bundle of joy.
It is kinda misleading, isn't it ?
