This lecture discusses key ideas from the Renaissance-era philosopher, critic, and essayist Michel De Montaigne's work Essays, specifically his essay On Liars (Des Menteurs)
It focuses upon the distinction between lying and telling falsehoods, why lying is a particularly bad vice, how to catch liars, and why people who want to lie need good memories
