"Skeptic is a dancer on the air rope : Emerson, Montaigne et le scepticisme sage"In Jean-Charles Darmon, Philippe Desan & Gianni Paganini (eds.), Des Morales et des œuvres, Hermann. pp. 179-199. 2017.This study aims to highlight some major aspects of Emersonian skepticism while at the same time showing their deep links with the philosophy of Montaigne.
