Of Cannibals is an essay by Michel de Montaigne in which he describes the ceremonies of the Tupinamba people of Brazil, who practiced cannibalism. Montaigne's essay is remarkable for the time period, as he uses cultural relativism. Cultural relativism is the view that societies need to be understood in their own terms, without scholars judging them on the basis of the scholar's culture. Montaigne compares their acts with cases of "barbarism" that still existed in Europe at the time. He also argues that these societies are purest because their lifestyle is shaped by the laws of nature.
