Summary/Abstract: Concern for the other is constant with Montaigne, the figures of otherness are extraordinarily rich. And yet, Montaigne is known above all as the writer of the self. But the “soy” of Montaigne, like the Journal de voyage and the Essais, is in fact saturated by otherness. This article aims therefore to show how Montaigne, in particular in the Essais, will write and imagine the other from the self.
