Description

The arrival of Europeans in the New World in the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries, often neglected by historians of philosophy, is a crucial historical event that transformed modern thought. <i>Skepticism and the New World: The Anthropological Argument and the Emergence of Modernity</i> argues that the encounter between Europeans and the inhabitants of the New World challenges Europeans&rsquo; concept of a universal human nature and leads to new forms of skepticism. <br><br>Contrasting a theological and political debate on the rights of indigenous peoples with the rights of conquest and &ldquo;just war&rdquo; of the Spanish, Danilo Marcondes examines their anthropology, exploring how the French saw the indigenous cultures of the New World and how they shaped their epistemology.
