April 15, 2008 - The Eric Hoffer Book Award committee has awarded the Montaigne Medalists for the 2008 award year.
Each year, the Montaigne Medal is given to the most thought-provoking titles—books that either illuminate, progress, or redirect thought. The Montaigne Medal is given in honor of the great French philosopher Michel de Montaigne, who influenced people such as William Shakespeare, René Descartes, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Friedrich Nietzsche, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and Eric Hoffer.
“The Montaigne Medal is an integral part of the annual Hoffer Award for books and prose,” said Christopher Klim, Chair of the Eric Hoffer Award. Klim is also the award-winning author of several books.
Here is the current short list of award finalists in alphabetical order:
* Long Shadows, David Giffey (editor), Atwood Publishing
* The Aesthetics of Equity, Craig L. Wilkins, University of Minnesota
* You Will Die, Robert R. Arthur, Suburra Publishing
