Abstract

This article explores some senses in which Isabelle de Charrière (1740–1805) may be understood as a skeptic in her personal life and in her literary life, although the two cannot really be separated since she lived the literary life. She called herself a skeptic a number of times, and also showed some knowledge of the Academic or Socratic and especially of the Pyrrhonian traditions of skepticism in her novels and extensive correspondence. This Dutch-Swiss writer provides an example of what it might be to live as a skeptic, serving as a case study for the debates about the feasibility and moral status of living with skepticism.

伊莎贝尔·德·夏丽与文学生活中的怀疑主义

本文探讨了伊莎贝尔·德·夏里埃（1740–1805）在个人生活和文学生活中可能被理解为怀疑论者的一些意义，尽管这两者由于她生活在文学生活中而无法真正分离。她多次称自己为怀疑论者，在她的小说和大量信件中，她也表现出了对学术或苏格拉底的一些了解，尤其是对皮尔逊怀疑论传统的了解。这位荷兰-瑞士作家提供了一个例子，说明了作为一个怀疑论者生活可能是什么样子，并为关于生活在怀疑论中的可行性和道德地位的辩论提供了案例研究。
