This volume examines modern scepticism in all main philosophical
areas: epistemology, science, metaphysics, morals, and religion. It
features sixteen essays that explore its importance for modern
thought. The contributions present diverse, mutually enriching
interpretations of key thinkers, from Montaigne to Nietzsche. The
book includes a look both at the relationship between Montaigne and
Pascal and at Montaigne's criticism of religious rationalism. It
turns its attention to an investigation into the links between
ancient scepticism and Bacon's Doctrine of the Idols, as well as
into the ancient problem of the criterion in Cartesian philosophy.
Next, three essays focus on more general topics, like modern
sceptical disturbances, clandestine literature and irreligion. Two
essays investigate the role of scepticism in Bayle's moral thinking
and his theory of religious toleration. Hume's sceptical philosophy
is the subject of two papers by distinguished scholars. In
addition, many contributors address the presence of scepticism in
Kant and in the German Idealism, such as the role of Schulze's
scepticism in the works of the young Hegel. The book closes with a
paper on Nietzsche and scepticism, and an essay on the role of
Popkin's and Schmitt's works on modern scepticism. This collection
continues along a rich, fruitful path opened by Richard H. Popkin
and pursued by many important scholars, like Gianni Paganini,
John-Christian Laursen, and Jose Raimundo Maia Neto. It
re-establishes that necessary dialogue between researchers of
scepticism from all over the Americas, which began with Popkin,
Oswaldo Porchat and Ezequiel de Olaso long ago. This insightful
reflection on modern European scepticism will also serve as an
important resource in the history of modern philosophy.
