Augustine's christianization of Plato and Thomas Aquinas's of
Aristotle provided the two main foundations of medieval Judeo-
Christian philosophy. In The Christianization of Pyrrhonism,
JosA(c) R. Maia Neto shows that Greek scepticism played a similar
role in the development of a major strand of modern religious
thought. From the Jansenist reaction of Molinism in the early 17th
century to Shestov's resistance to the arrival of Kantian
enlightenment in Russia in the late 19th century, Greek scepticism
was reconstructed in terms of Christian doctrines and used against
major secular philosophers who posed threats to religion. At the
same time, the ancient sceptics' practical stance was attacked in
order that it does not constitute a viable alternative to the
modern secular philosophies. The resulting Christianized Pyrrhonism
would be the basis for a genuine Christian or Biblical thought, for
the first time emancipated from the rationalist assumptions and
methods of Greek philosophy. The Christianization of Pyrrhonism is
extremely valuable for those interested in the modern developments
of ancient scepticism, in the relations between religious and
philosophical ideas in modernity, and for scholars and the general
public interested in Pascal, Kierkegaard and Shestov.
