Montaigne on Nature

One rather weird way to think of nature getting its way is through Book 2 – Chapter XXX Of a monstrous child. Here he uses the image of a deformed child at birth and states that although it’s deformed, it is part of nature’s plan. And nature’s plan here is referenced to the Eyes of God, as he states that what we call a deformity or monsters are not so to God. ANd God has “comprehended therein” that there are infinite forms. From what I understand of this confusing chapter, it’s about we should accept what nature gives us and expel any astonishment or shock that a new form brings along with it. And we should love them equally, as they are still God’s children.
