It shows that Charron’s Wisdom was one of the main sources of inspiration of Pierre Gassendi’s first published book, the Exercitationes adversus aristoteleos. It sheds new light on La Mothe Le Vayer, who is usually viewed as a major free thinker. By showing that he was a follower of Charron, La Mothe emerges neither as a skeptical apologist nor as a disguised libertine, as combatting superstition but not as irreligious. The book shows the close presence of Charron in the preambles of Descartes’ philosophy and that the cogito is mainly based on the moral Academic self-assurance of Charron’s wise man. This interpretation reverses the standard view of Descartes’ relation to skepticism. Once this skepticism is recognized to be Charron’s Academic one, it is seen not as the target but as the source of the cogito. Pascal is the last major philosopher for whom Charron’s wisdom is crucially relevant. Montaigne and Descartes influenced, respectively, Pascal’s view of the Pyrrhonian skeptic and of the skeptical main arguments. The book shows that Charron’s Academic skeptical wise man is one of the main targets of his projected apology for Christianity, since he considered him as a threat and counter-example of the kind of Christian view of human beings he believed. By restoring the historical philosophical relevance of Charron in early modern philosophy and arguing for the relevance of Academic skepticism in the period, this book opens a new research program to early modern scholars and will be valuable for those interested in the history of philosophy, French literature and religion.International Archives of the History of Ideas Archives internationales d'histoire des idées,2215-0307 ;215Philosophy, ModernReligionPhilosophyHistoryEarly Modern PhilosophyReligionHistory of PhilosophyPhilosophy, Modern.Religion.PhilosophyHistory.Early Modern Philosophy.Religion.History of Philosophy.194.082Neto José R.

The scientific community will face many challenges in identifying and preventing the adverse effects of environmental metal exposure on brain health. This collection of articles provides an overview of current work in the field of neurotoxicology of metal contaminants, from the identification of emerging toxic compounds, to the assessment of environmental exposures and associated risks, through the description of the molecular mechanisms involved in neurotoxicity.Medical toxicologybicsscAlzheimer's diseaseAlzheimer's disease (AD)animal fluencyapoptosisarseniccadmiumcassavaCERADcholesterolcobaltcognitive functioncopperdietDSSTenvironmental exposureenvironmental risk factorethnicitygrasspeagrip strengthheavy metalshigh fatleadlow fatmanganesemanganese speciationmercurymetalmetal-on-metal (MoM) hip implantsmetalsmethylmercurymitochondrial dysfunctionmorelsn/aneurodegenerationneurological disordersneuromotor systemneurotoxicityNHANESphytochemicalsprotein metabolismproteostasisraceRNA-SeqRT-qPCRSH-SY5Ysoil and water pollutionsynapsesystemic cobaltismMedical toxicologyOrtega Richardedt1319568Carmona AsuncionedtOrtega RichardothCarmona AsuncionothBOOK9910595072503321Neurotoxicity of Environmental Metal Toxicants3033975UNINA
