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

First published in 1904, this book forms part of a two-volume set examining the development of literature during the French Renaissance. Taken together, the volumes cover the period 1525 to 1605, incorporating detailed information on numerous works and key literary figures, beginning with Francis I and his court and moving through to Mathurin Régnier. Both volumes were written by the renowned Cambridge literary critic and classicist Arthur Tilley (1851-1942). These books will be of value to anyone with an interest in French literature and the Renaissance.

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.

Born in Spain and long-time resident of Bruges, Juan Luis Vives is one of the keenest, and most neglected, minds of the northern Renaissance. A many-sided intellect and critical observer of the contemporary scene, Vives' contribution includes treatises on metaphysics, psychology, education, rhetoric, logic, religion, and social reform. And it is precisely the central premise of this monograph that what links these diverse works together and turns Vives literary production into a whole larger than the sum of its parts is the author's single-minded commitment to the Socratic dictum that an unexamined life is not worth living. But because man's Fall caused him to lose his pristine ability to accomplish that task as an individual, he must now do it in the context of a God-mandated, man-created institution: society, whose origins and evolution Vives explains in Stoic terms. Building on a foundation of Socratic/ Aristotelian optimism and Augustinian pessimism, he concludes that social man can indeed reach the bonitas which alone makes beatitude possible. But at a price, for Vives the Skeptic insists that man must forego the use of that ratio speculativa which seduces him into thinking that he can probe into nature's being and understand his own divine nature.
