Book Synopsis Skepticism in Renaissance and Post-Renaissance Thought by : José Raimundo Maia Neto
Download or read book Skepticism in Renaissance and Post-Renaissance Thought written by José Raimundo Maia Neto and published by JHP Books. This book was released on 2004 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This second volume in the Journal of the History of Philosophy book series (JHP Books) is devoted to the resurgence of skepticism in the Renaissance and after. It contains eight original essays by historians of early modern philosophy from Europe and North and South America, with concluding remarks by Richard H. Popkin, who reviews fifty years of scholarship on the history of early modern skepticism and evaluates its present stage. The essays uncover new material relevant to the history of skepticism in the period and propose new interpretations of the nature, role, and influence of skepticism from Montaigne to Berkeley. The contributors discuss such important figures as Michel de Montaigne, Thomas Hobbes, Pierre Bayle, Henry More, René Descartes, Pierre-Daniel Huet, Pierre Gassendi, and George Berkeley. By indicating a number of new problems brought about by the early modern philosophers’ engagement with and reaction to skepticism, the authors of the important essays in this volume make a major contribution to our understanding of ancient and modern skepticism.

Book Synopsis Renaissance Scepticisms by : Gianni Paganini
Download or read book Renaissance Scepticisms written by Gianni Paganini and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-11-14 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even if specific pieces of research (on the sources or on individual authors, such as Pico, Agrippa, Erasmus, Montaigne, Sanches etc.) have given and are still producing significant results on Renaissance scepticism, an overall synthesis comprising the entire period has not been achieved yet. No predetermined idea of that complex historical subject that is Renaissance scepticism underlies this book, and we want to sacrifice the complexity of movements, personalities, tendencies and interpretations to any sort of a priori unity of theme even less. We acknowledge unhesitatingly that we had always thought of “scepticisms” in the plural, and believe that the different contexts (philosophical, religious, cultural) in which these forms grew up must also be taken into account. Furthermore, given the transversal nature and provocative character of the sceptical challenge, this book contains essays also on philosophers who, without being sceptics and sometimes engaged in fighting scepticism, nevertheless took up its challenge. The main authors considered in this book are: Vives, Castellio, Agrippa, Pedro de Valencia, Pico, Sanchez, Montaigne, Charron, Bruno, Bacon, and Campanella. The various essays in the book show the relevance of the philosophical thought of authors little known by the general public and put in new perspective important aspects of the thought of some of the great thinkers of the Renaissance.

Book Synopsis The Skeptics of the Italian Renaissance by : John Owen
Download or read book The Skeptics of the Italian Renaissance written by John Owen and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-09-20 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume, which is uniform with the "Skeptics of the French Renaissance" by the same author, may be considered in some sort a continuation of his "Evenings with the Skeptics," although quite independent of that work. In the author's view skepticism implies the function of a natural energy, and hence discharges offices which are akin in all periods, especially where dogma is concerned. The true skeptic he defines as the seeker after ultimate truth in the absolute, and hence thinks that skepticism will claim a larger sphere in the future than in the past, not only in theology, but in science and philosophy. The Weekly Review says: "The plan of the work is to give formal essays on some of the important divisions of the subject, followed by philosophical discussions in the form of dialogues. Under one aspect the movement of the fourteenth and following centuries in Southern Europe was a revival of paganism. The lights of the Church occupied themselves with Latin and Greek writers instead of with the Fathers. This eager study of the classics could not fail to loosen the bands of bigotry a little. Men could not read Ciceo for his style merely and not get some contact with his ideas. The ideas may not be very valuable intrinsically, but they were different from those of Italian readers of the thirteenth century. Another cause for the emancipation of the intellect was the contact with a civilization, in many respects higher, brought about by the Crusades. Still another cause is to be found in the dissensions between Pope and Kaiser, between the spiritual and secular powers, and still more in the intestine divisions of the Papacy itself. "The longest and on the whole most interesting essays are those on Giordano Bruno and Vanini; partly perhaps, at least in the case of the former, owing to the vigor of thought, partly on account of the tragical death of the thinkers discussed." The London Athenaum concludes a lengthy review with the words: "The most characteristic featuie of the book, it may be noted in conclusion, is the account given of anticipations of the Renaissance in the Middle Ages. Anticipations of later thought in the Renaissance itself are less dwelt on. What is sometimes called the 'transition period' is, for the author, a last term. In the distinctively modern development of philosophy he seems to be less interested. In spite of his stress on 'skeptical' inquiry, it is each thinker's conception of the universe as a whole that he cares about rather than his critical scrutiny of the principles of knowledge. This last inquiry, as has often been said, is more distinctively modern. What distinguishes the Renaissance is the effort to attain again a comprehensive theory of the universe. The result might at the time be disintegrating rather than reconstructive; but the effort itself, as Mr. Owen sees clearly enough in the case of Bruno, was one of synthesis more than of analysis." -Book Reviews, Vol. 1

Book Synopsis Academic Skepticism in Seventeenth-Century French Philosophy by : José R. Maia Neto
Download or read book Academic Skepticism in Seventeenth-Century French Philosophy written by José R. Maia Neto and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-07-10 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first systematic account of Pierre Charron’s influence among the major French philosophers in the period (1601-1662). 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.
Book Synopsis Skepticism in Philosophy by : Henrik Lagerlund
Download or read book Skepticism in Philosophy written by Henrik Lagerlund and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-04-29 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, Henrik Lagerlund offers students, researchers, and advanced general readers the first complete history of what is perhaps the most famous of all philosophical problems: skepticism. As the first of its kind, the book traces the influence of philosophical skepticism from its roots in the Hellenistic schools of Pyrrhonism and the Middle Academy up to its impact inside and outside of philosophy today. Along the way, the book covers skepticism during the Latin, Arabic, and Greek Middle Ages and during the Renaissance before moving on to cover Descartes’ methodological skepticism and Pierre Bayle’s super-skepticism in the seventeenth century. In the eighteenth century, it deals with Humean skepticism and the anti-skepticism of Reid, Shepherd, and Kant, taking care to also include reflections on the connections between idealism and skepticism (including skepticism in German idealism after Kant). The book covers similar themes in a chapter on G.E. Moore and Ludwig Wittgenstein, and then ends its historical overview with a chapter on skepticism in contemporary philosophy. In the final chapter, Lagerlund captures some of skepticism’s impact outside of philosophy, highlighting its relation to issues like the replication crisis in science and knowledge resistance.

Book Synopsis Skepticism and Language in Early Modern Philosophy by : Danilo Marcondes
Download or read book Skepticism and Language in Early Modern Philosophy written by Danilo Marcondes and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2020-12-10 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Danilo Marcondes argues that, contrary to a traditional view maintaining that language is not given any central role in early modern philosophy, an “early linguistic turn” in the seventeenth century opened a place for the philosophy of language as part of the philosophical system then under construction. Skepticism and Language in Early Modern Philosophy: The Early Linguistic Turn also claims that the revival of ancient skepticism at the modern age contributed decisively towards this “linguistic turn” insofar as it attacked the “powers of the intellect” in representing reality and making knowledge possible. Marcondes also argues that the concept of language itself becomes crucial to this investigation since the various understandings that developed during this period led to the central role that would be given to the philosophy of language in contemporary philosophy.
