Sinossi
Composta sotto la protezione di Margherita di Valois, dama tra le più colte, ambigue e stravaganti del Rinascimento francese, questa "Apologia di Raymond Sebond" costituisce il capitolo più organico e ampio dei "Saggi" di Montaigne. Col pretesto di difendere la "Teologia naturale" del tolosano Raymond Sebond dalle numerose accuse che le erano state rivolte, Montaigne concepisce un disegno apologetico della fede cristiana largamente estraneo agli schemi tradizionali e dal quale traspare il ritratto culturale della propria epoca in cui nuove cosmologie, nuovi continenti, nuovi popoli, nuove confessioni religiose, nuove immagini di uomo e di ragione umana irrompono sulla scena storica.

I heard this was a classic of skeptical philosophy, but I wasn't impressed by it. There was nothing really new in the Apology for a person interested in skepticism. Montaigne frequently draws on Sextus Empiricus , but better to just read Sextus directly. Why settle for whiskey and water, when you can Leggi tutto
Aunque es posible que no haya entendido todo la profundidad del texto, me atrevo a decir que podría decir lo mismo en 100 páginas menos.
Raymond Sebond was a 15th century scholar and theologian whose Natural Theology (1484) made the case that revelation from God comes not only thru the Bible but also thru the natural world. The Catholic Church placed Natural Theology on its Index of forbidden books because it discounted the Church’s Leggi tutto
