• Ethnocentrism, Multiculturalism, & Religion
Chichimecas
Michel de Montaigne
“I do not find that there is anything barbaric or savage about this nation, according to what I’ve been told, unless we are to call barbarism whatever differs from our own customs. Indeed, we seem to have no other standard of truth and reason than the opinions and customs of our own country. There at home is always the perfect religion, the perfect legal system--the perfect and most accomplished way of doing everything.”
-Michel de Montaigne, “On Cannibals” (1580)
