Excerpt from Le Scepticisme: Ænésidème Pascal Kant
Lorsqu'en 1834 J ouffroy traitait du scepticisme actuel, il expliquait par le scepticisme religieux l'abais sement des caractères, le retour au matérialisme, le goût des révolutions, la caducité des popularités et il avait raison. Mais il y a dans ce tableau et dans cette analogie un trait qui me paraît peu exact. Joufiroy prétend que la conviction où nous sommes de l'ahsar dité des vieilles croyances et des vieilles formes poli tiques et sociales nous conduit au mépris du passé, à l'ignorance de l'histoire. Cela n'est pas exact. Notre siècle n'est pas un srecle d'ignorance et d 1ncuriosité historiques. Au contraire, nous aimonsl'histoire, nous y excellons. Mais ce qui nous manque, c'est le goût de la vérité éternelle et absolue; c'est la force de juger, c'est le critérium; c'est le choix viril à faire entre le vrai et le faux: de là l'absence de caractère, parce que.

Excerpt from Le Scepticisme: AEnesideme Pascal Kant Dans les dernieres annees de sa vie, M. Emile Sais-set meditait d'ecrire une histoire critique du scepticisme. Tout entier a ce grand travail, il en occupait son esprit, il aimait a s'en entretenir avec ses amis, et il en avait fait le sujet de ses lecons a la Faculte des lettres. Sa pensee n'etait pas seulement d'exposer les origines, le curieux developpement, le progres de la philosophie sceptique, et de mettre en lumiere sur des points essentiels l'etroite parente de l'ancienne et de la nouvelle ecole pyrrhonienne. Cette partie historique de son livre, quelque nouveaute qu'il songeat a y introduire, n'etait pas dans son esprit l'idee capitale.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, the first in a trilogy that was never completed, is an exploration of skepticism in the ancient world in which the author argues that skepticism is the worst of all moral ailments of all time, and that it is the cause of many intellectual wounds. The author posits that skepticism is spreading and has progressed alongside materialism. The author aims to combat skepticism, and give spirits the courage to research speculative truth and goodness. They see this as the remedy for the ailment and believe that this book will contribute to achieving that goal. The author had planned three volumes in total. The first volume covers the Sophists and Megarians, the second would have covered Montaigne and Charron, and the third would have focused on David Hume and Immanuel Kant, alongside their influence on skepticism in the present day. Unfortunately, the author died before being able to complete their project and only the first volume was ever published. However, the book offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of skepticism and compelling arguments against it.
