This book explores how far some leading philosophers, from
Montaigne to Hume, used Academic Scepticism to build their own
brand of scepticism or took it as its main sceptical target. The
book offers a detailed view of the main modern key figures,
including Sanches, Charron, La Mothe Le Vayer, Bacon, Gassendi,
Descartes, Malebranche, Pascal, Foucher, Huet, and Bayle. In
addition, it provides a comprehensive assessment of the role of
Academic Scepticism in Early Modern philosophy and a complete
survey of the period. As a whole, the book offers a basis for a
new, balanced assessment of the role played by scepticism in both
its forms. Since Richard Popkin's works, there has been
considerable interest in the role played by Pyrrhonian Scepticism
in Early Modern Philosophy. Comparatively, Academic Scepticism was
much neglected by scholars, despite some scattered important
contributions. Furthermore, a general assessment of the presence of
Academic Scepticism in Early Modern Philosophy is lacking. This
book fills the void.
