The interaction between Christianism and skepticism
has usually been treated relying on texts restricted to the
context of modernity, and hence to what came to be called
‘fideism’, which consists of raising skeptical doubts about any
doctrine or rational argument with a view to demonstrate the
contradictions of reason and to propose as alternative a leap
of faith. However, this work aims to foment the research about
the influence of the approach of the ancient Pyrrhonic skeptical
dýnamis – so, not doubter but investigative, aporetic and suspensive
– on works of important thinkers of the early Christianity
and of the Renaissance.
