Um estudo sobre a rela??o entre filosofia cética e cria??o ensaística em Michel de Montaigne

摘要

This article attempts to explore the Essays of Michel de Montaigne from a perspective that takes into account the close relation between philosophical thought and its literary expression. It claims that the re is a particular skeptical content in essayistic creation. In this sense, the essay, as a literary genre, is not only a free exercise of thought. Rather, it represents the form that can better express the effects of the “pyrrhonian crisis” suffered by Montaigne and especially his acknowledgement of the relative nature of human knowledge.
