| Popis: | Ultimately a great deal of attention has been placed on studying moderated skepticism in modern times. The famous historian philosopher, Richard Popkin, in his work The History of Scepticism from Erasmus to Spinoza, coined the name epistemological skepticism to qualify members from this philosophical vein and added from the years of the seventeen-hundred philosophers Gassendi and Mersenne who were considered as its main representatives. Moreover, in the XVIII century there is mitigated skepticism as named by Hume who made modern philosophers pay attention to define the limits of skepticism. The purpose of this article is to contribute to the study of skepticism in modern times, showing not only that Hume, Mersenne and Gassendi can be part of the so-called epistemological or mitigated skepticism, but there are also some certain common elements in their philosophies destined to mitigate the skeptic arguments from their time period |
