Abstract

BAHR, Fernando. Pierre Charron: fideísta, libertino, deísta. Rev. latinoam. filos. [online]. 2013, vol.39, n.2, pp.00-00. ISSN 1852-7353.

Pierre Charron's De la sagesse is a work quite difficult to classify and, as such, has received various interpretations in the History of Philosophy. In this paper, we depart from the "fideist" reading proposed by Richard Popkin and, after pointing out its limitations, we focus on to two other exegesis, the "libertine" and the "deist", that have several traits in common. Finally, in a fourth section, we pay attention to the similarities that presents Rousseau's Profession de foi du Vicaire Savoyard with De la sagesse and evaluate the influence that Charron could have had on that fundamental text in Eighteenth Century theological thought. Our conclusion is that Charron could be considered an important antecedent of the Vicar, and in this sense, as a protodeist.

Keywords : Fideism; Libertinism; Deism; God; nature.
