≪Que sais-je?≫ means “What do I know?” in French. This is the phrase one asks oneself when one wonders if he or she does not know anything. The Renaissance philosopher Michel de Montaigne made this phrase famous as his measure for gaining knowledge. New knowledge truly begins from knowing what one does not know.
Collection ≪Que sais-je?≫ is an unwavering effort to connect Montaigne’s philosophy and the spirit of the epochal 18th-century Encyclopaedia with the inquiry into truth. Collection ≪Que sais-je?≫ Best Selections, consisting of 354 volumes selected from the Japanese edition of Collection ≪Que sais-je?≫, originally published by Presses Universitaires de France (PUF), is now available on JapanKnowledge. Carefully chosen by the editors of Hakusuisha Publishing. You should be able to read your favorite titles on JapanKnowledge.
