On les a nommes Sceptiques, Zetetiques, Ephectiques, Aporetiques, c 'est-a-dire examinateurs, inquisiteurs, suspendants, doutants. Tout cela montre qu'ils sup posaient qll'il etait possible de trollver la verite, et qll'ils ne decidaient pas qll 'elle etait incomprehensible. Pierre Bayle, Dictionnaire historique et critique, art. Pyrrhon, rem. A. The history of modern scepticism is an active and on-going research-in progress. Respectively forty-two and thirty years have passed since the two great works that laid the foundations for this research first saw the light (History of Scepticism by Richard H. Popkin and Cicero scepticus by Charles B. Schmitt) and interest in this field has not yet run its course. Quite the reverse: studies, congresses, collective works on the subject are multiplying, while historical reconstruction extends to include new personalities, new periods, new sources. This is not the place for even a brief overview of these many and varied activities. Suffice it to say that over the last twenty years Popkin has promoted a series of congresses that have th th expanded the horizons to include the 18 and 19 centuries in the history of IX Paganini.
