I want to say that after reading Montaigne, I get the impression that he did not consider stoicism a reasonable way of life, especially with respect to the writings of Seneca. He saw the dangers when virtues are taken to extremes. He(Montaigne) was more impressed by the ideas of temperance and moderation as espoused by Plutarch.
