This lecture discusses key ideas from the Renaissance-era philosopher, critic, and essayist Michel De Montaigne's work Essays, specifically his essay Same Design, Different Outcomes
It focuses upon his views that much of our lives are subject to fortune, so that events or consequences can go differently than our intentions or plans. This does not mean that we shouldn't do what seems most just, virtuous, and reasonable to ourselves, since we do have control over that.
