LENNON, Thomas M.. DESCARTES, ARCESILAU E A ESTRUTURA DA EPOKHÉ. Educação e Filosofia [online]. 2011, vol.25, n.spe, pp.37-62. Epub Jan 31, 2024. ISSN 1982-596X. https://doi.org/10.14393/revedfil.issn.0102-6801.v25nespeciala2011-02.
For the past half-century, skepticism has been one of the principal optics through which Descartes.s philosophical role in the Great Century has been read. Sufficient precision has not appeared, however, in identifying the sort of skepticism that is most suited to this reading. My thesis is that it is specifically Academic skepticism that characterizes Descartes.s methodology. The test case is the classic notion of epoche as it emerges in his work.
