This book provides a review of current scholarship and significant updated research on some of the main thinkers and issues related to the reappraisal of ancient skepticism in the modern age. Special attention is given to the nature, importance, and relation to religion of Montaigne?s and Hume?s skepticisms; to the various skeptical and non-skeptical sources of Cartesian doubt; to the skeptical and anti-skeptical impact of Cartesianism in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries; and to philosophers who dealt with skeptical issues in the development of their own various intellectual interests. 410 0$aBrill's studies in intellectual history ;$vv. 181. 606 $aSkepticism$xHistory$vCongresses 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSkepticism$xHistory 676 $a149/.73 701 $aMaia Neto$b Jose?
