Abstract

In Luzzattoâs Socrates, Or On Human Knowledge (1651), divine revelation delimits the boundaries of truth, beyond which begins the sphere of the probable, of doubt, which he entrusts to Socratic investigation. This chapter seeks to delve into Luzzattoâs acquaintance with the writings of Sextus Empiricus, a crucial and widely influential source of early modern scepticism. By examining the presence of Sextusâs Outlines of Pyrrhonism in Luzzattoâs work and analysing how Against the Mathematicians may have shaped the portrayal of significant figures in his Socrates, this chapter aims to demonstrate that Luzzatto, like Montaigne, not only revitalises Sextusâs works, but also engages in a serious philosophical commitment to sceptical issues.
