Do you wish to have done differently in AAS100 Introduction to Asian American Studies?
Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) was especially interested in the issues involving virtue, education and idleness. He believed that to be truly human, humane and humanistic, one has to constantly examine oneself—how NOT great thou art. Being reflective on oneself allows the person to be able to live harmoniously with others; being open-minded enables one to listen to the wisdom of others. In short, he claimed SELF-EXAMINATION as the essence of true education (Fiero, The Humanistic Tradition, 2006, vol.3, 144). He further criticized the wars that the 16th-century Europe was pursuing for its territorial expansion as human diseases—acts that showed little self-reflection and self-examination on Europe’s part. He identified the self-righteousness of the 16th century Europe’s expansionism as more savage-like than the “savages” they claimed to have found in the New World. In other words, for Montaigne, a person, an institution, and a nation without self-reflection/self-examination is the true “savage” or “a horseman going astray.”

Be realistic and HONEST: Remember Dante’s idea of conscience; he placed the Seven Deadly Sins as offenses against love. “Pride” and “lust” are two of the Seven Deadly Sins!!!
