This book examines the work of Michel de Montaigne, considering his Essays as a whole. Building on the premise that Montaigne was an important part of the skeptical crisis but that his skepticism was not shaped by Sextus Empiricus, the book first describes the history of skepticism. It then shows that Montaigne is closer to the Academic skepticisms than to the absolute skepticism of Pyrrhonism, and that the Christian tradition left a more important mark in Montaigne’s Essays than originally thought. Through this exploration of Montaigne’s original and complex work, the book reveals Montaigne’s affinity with Socrates and Saint Augustine. It examines the powerful currents of skepticism that permeated different traditions during the Middle Ages and reveals the potential debt to Greco-Roman antiquity of these traditions. In addition, the book explores their influence in the recovery and transmission of skepticism in the early modern period. The book shows how Montaigne believed in the possibility of real knowledge, even if he despaired of achieving it in one person’s life: he was a skeptic who believed in the existence of truth and he sought that truth through the medium of the essay.

El equilibrio social actual debe de buscar la armonía y estabilidad en una sociedad, y se logra cuando existe una distribución justa de recursos y oportunidades, y cuando se respetan los derechos humanos y las libertades individuales. El equilibrio social es importante para el bienestar de la sociedad y su desarrollo sostenible, y puede ser afectado por factores como la desigualdad económica, la discriminación, la falta de participación ciudadana y la inseguridad. Para fomentar el equilibrio social, se necesita una combinación de políticas, económicas, culturales y sociales, que promuevan la justicia, la inclusión y la sostenibilidad.-- Dykinson
