TODAY IN PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY: Franciscus Patricius and Historical Pyrrhonism
Thursday 25 April 2024 is the 495th anniversary of the birth of Franciscus Patricius (25 April 1529 – 6 February 1597), who was born on this day in 1529. Patricius is known in Italian as Francesco Patrizi of Cherso (sometimes spelled with one “z” and sometimes with two), and known in Croatian as Franjo Petriš or Frane Petrić (he came from the island of Cres).
Franciscus Patricius was a literal renaissance man who wrote a number of treatises and dialogues on philosophical topics common to his time, distancing himself from Scholasticism by attacking the authority of Aristotle, and advocating a radical form of skepticism that has been called historical Pyrrhonism.
