    A dívida de Hume com Pascal
    (Faculdade de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas da UFMG, 2011-12-01) Smith, Plinio Junqueira [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)
    Though neglected by Humean scholars, Pascal's thoughts seem to be very important to Hume in many ways and along all his life. This paper focus more on epistemological and matephysical matters, than on morals or religion. Hume uses some of Pascal's ideas concerning scepticism and arguments concerning the cogito and the Cartesian view of science.

    O método cético da oposição e as fantasias de Montaigne
    (Faculdade de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas da UFMG, 2012-12-01) Smith, Plinio Junqueira [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)
    Starting from the view that to philosophise is to doubt, this paper compares Montaigne's scepticism to ancient scepticism. On the one hand, it is shown that elements from ancient scepticism are used by Montaigne, such as the division of philosophy in three sects and the sceptical principle of opposition. On the other, the paper focuses on the novelties introduced by Montaigne into these sceptical elements. Finally, it is investigated to what extent Montaigne's project of a self-portrait allows him to develop a new kind of doubt.
