RAGA ROSALENY, VICENTE. IS MONTAIGNE A SKEPTIC? PASCAL'S INFLUENCE ON OUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE ESSAYS. Ideas y Valores [online]. 2019, vol.68, n.171, pp.59-80. Epub 15-Fev-2020. ISSN 0120-0062. https://doi.org/10.15446/ideasyvalores.v68n171.80135.
Michel de Montaigne, the renowned author of The Essays, has been interpreted as a skeptic, and, more specifically, as a defender of skeptical fideism. This reading has its main origin in B. Pascal's interpretation. The article reexamines the questions of both fideism and skepticism in The Essays, and concludes that Pascal's enduring interpretation might be based on an involuntary or deliberate "deviation", which, in any case, has been creative and fruitful.
