The dissertation Echoes of Scepticism in the Essayistic Creation of Michel de Montaigne presupposes the possibility to scrutinize a philosophical content from different literary forms. At the same time it intends to explore the specific relation between the skeptical philosophy, as appropriated by Michel de Montaigne, and the creation of the essayistic form. Although thought and style are usually considered inseparable dimensions in the Essays, we will, for analytical purposes, treat them separately. The first part of the dissertation examines, in this sense, the existence of skeptical arguments throughout Montaigne`s work, while the second part explores the fundamental aspects of the essayistic form that seem to reveal a proximity with the dubitative procedure typical of the skeptics, exposing the contribution of this philosophical tradition in the development of the essayistic novelty.
