RESUMEN
El examen que del Nuevo Mundo llevó a cabo el renacentista Michel de Montaigne proporcionó un retrato de la condición humana que rompía con el paradigma aristotélico. En contraste con este diseño jerárquico de la naturaleza humana que reservaba al nativo americano el poco honroso lugar de la inferioridad y la esclavitud, la pintura montaniana de la condición humana permitía dar cuenta de la radical igualdad de los seres humanos, en el seno de la variedad de costumbres, hábitos y religiones de las tierras recién descubiertas, a la vez que daba pie a una propuesta de re-naturalización del europeo decadente.

ABSTRACT
The review of the New World carried out by Michel de Montaigne provided a picture of human condition that broke with the Aristotelian paradigm. In contrast to this hierarchic design of human nature by which the native American people were relegated to the dishonourable position of inferiority and slavery, Montaigne’s painting of human condition allowed the ascertainment of the radical equality of human beings within the variety of customs, habits and religions of the New and Ancient Worlds, and gave cause for a re-naturalization of the declining European citizens.
