Pierre Charron, Montaigne’s ‘disciple’ and ‘Patriarch of supposedly strong minds’
This study is based on a twofold observation: even though the names and works of Montaigne and Charron are almost systematically associated — which is hardly surprising — in the Xvith century there are two ways of antagonistic understanding of the Sagesse in relation to the Tests, which appear to be...
The parliament of Metz and the protestants (1633-1735)
The study deals primarily with the application of the king's edicts, declarations and ordinances regarding the practice of the protestant faith and the life of the protestants themselves within the jurisdiction of the metz parliament which has been set up in 1633.

What is deist?
this limited study with a few milestones in the British field briefly investigates a question which makes its title based on a preliminary analysis of Shaftesbury’s distinction between one and the other, and then goes back to an important but unknown source on this subject, the pseudo-Prideaux, and...
From religious radicalism to deism. Notes on a link forgotten by historical research
Given the historical debate on the relationship between radical religious dissent of the 16th century, libertination and deism, the article aims to propose a new interpretation, different from traditional reading. Dominant interpretative models, old or present, deny any relationship between libertin...

Paganism in Tess of the D’Urbervilles and Jude the Obscure: The Possibility of Faith and Ethics in a Darwinian World
This article aims at exploring Hardy’s representation of paganism in Tess of the D’Urbervilles and Jude the Obscure, in the light of Hardy’s Darwinism.

The story of a false philosophical treaty (atatā Zar’a Yā’eqob and -atatā Walda -eywat). Episode 2: The time of demystification and the crossing of the desert (from 1916 to the 1950s)
