œuvres De François De La Mothe Le Vayer, Conseiller D'estat Ordinaire, Vol. 6 by François de La Mothe Le Vayer

Conseiller d'Estat ordinaire

An erudite collection of skeptical essays, dialogues, and letters that probe morality, religion, politics, and the limits of human knowledge through classical exempla and urbane irony. It advances a tempered skepticism that exposes the relativity of customs and opinions, promotes prudent moderation and civil tolerance, and reflects on education—especially of rulers—as the art of forming sound judgment amid uncertainty.
