After some general remarks on Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592), who died just 400 years ago, the author compares him with another most original thinker of the 16th century: Paracelsus. Montaigne and Paracelsus were akin in their fundamental scepticism about human knowledge and convictions. Speaking, in his "Essais", of medicine Montaigne repeatedly quotes Paracelsus. These quotations show that Montaigne had some knowledge of Paracelsus' writings and that, to some extent, he was in sympathy with his ideas.
在对四百年前去世的米歇尔·德·蒙田（1533 - 1592）进行了一些总体介绍之后，作者将他与16世纪另一位极具原创性的思想家：帕拉塞尔苏斯作了比较。蒙田和帕拉塞尔苏斯在对人类知识和信念的根本怀疑态度上颇为相似。蒙田在其《随笔集》中谈及医学时，多次引用帕拉塞尔苏斯的话。这些引文表明蒙田对帕拉塞尔苏斯的著作有所了解，并且在一定程度上认同他的观点。
