In the 'Apologie de Raymond Sebond, Montaigne defends the 'Theologia Naturalis' of the latter a book in which the author, who was a medical man, a philosopher, and a theologian, endeavours to prove that the Roman Catholic dogmas are in harmony with the laws of nature. That which is to be received in full faith, Sebond exerts himself to make comprehensible by arguments of the reason.
He declares himself all the more ashamed of, and vexed by, this, as his own family were allied by close private ties with the English nation. An attempt has been made to show that in Montaigne's 'Apologie de Raymond Sebond, in which he expounds his theological opinions in the most explicit manner, a hidden attack is contained upon the Church.
Que Sçais-je? was his constant motto; and his Essays are a collection of numberless variations on this one dominating theme. The Apologie de Raimond Sebond, the largest and the most elaborate of them, contains an immense and searching review of the errors, the incoherences, and the ignorance of humanity, from which Montaigne draws his inevitable conclusion of universal doubt.
