Michel de Montaigne was a philosopher of the French Renaissance, known for making the genre of essays particularly popular.

One of the defining features of Montaigne's thinking is his skepticism. Montaigne's skeptic writing was based upon the skepticism common in ancient literature and philosophy, particularly that of the Greeks. He is particularly close to the ideas of the Pyrrhonists. One of the features of this type of thinking in his work is the encouragement of doubt, and the acceptance of the limits of knowledge.

Is this a complete sentence?<br> A bushy, overgrown hedge along the fence.
Scorpion4ik [409]
Nope. That is considered a fragment. 
The subject is present: A bushy, overgrown hedge [located] along the fence.
This can't be complete, however, because there is no verb and such to explain much else. 

A complete sentence could be "A busy, overgrown hedge along the fence caught my attention."

*caught is a verb.
