Based on close analysis of literary and philosophical texts by these important authors, Michelle Zerba argues that doubt is a defining experience in antiquity and the Renaissance, one that constantly challenges the limits of thought and representation. The wide-ranging discussion considers issues that run the gamut from tragic loss to comic bombast, from psychological collapse to skeptical dexterity and from solitary reflection to political improvisation in civic contexts and puts Greek and Roman treatments of doubt into dialogue not only with sixteenth-century texts but with contemporary works as well. Using the past to engage questions of vital concern to our time, Zerba demonstrates that although doubt sometimes has destructive consequences, it can also be conducive to tolerance, discovery and conversation across sociopolitical boundaries.Doubt & Skepticism in Antiquity & the RenaissanceBelief and doubtHistorySkepticismHistoryBelief and doubtHistory.SkepticismHistory.121/.509Zerba Michelle1953-548450UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910462050103321Doubt and skepticism in antiquity and the Renaissance2491941UNINA01249nam a22002651i 450099100233226970753620030531175117.0030925s1979 it a||||||||||||||||ita b12274136-39ule_instARCHE-032170ExLBiblioteca InterfacoltàitaA.t.i.
