Comment: Seeking truth, not declaring it, Montaigne places value on collective exploration over individual assertion. This resonates with the ethos of Conversational Leadership, where shared inquiry drives progress.I put forward formless and unresolved notions, as do those who publish doubtful questions to debate in the schools, not to establish the truth but to seek it.
