Esse questionamento se dá também no momento de discussão sobre os direitos dos povos conquistados. A crise no pensamento suscitada por essa discussão contribuiu decisivamente para o desenvolvimento do ceticismo moderno.

Estrangeiro de Eleia: Porque é o mesmo que tentar alguém dividir a humanidade em duas partes, como costuma a maioria, isto é, separando-a como se o gênero helênico constituísse uma unidade distinta das demais e dando-se a estas o nome comum de "bárbaros"; supondo que por causa dessa denominação coletiva formem também uma unidade, quando de fato são numerosíssimas, distintas entre si e de linguagens bem diferentes (ἀσύμφωνος). Platão, O sofista, 262c. * Professor do Departamento de Filosofia/PUC-Rio e UFF. Texto recebido em 13 de agosto de 2012 e aprovado em 16 de outubro de 2012.

Em As Confissões formula famosa aporia sobre o tempo, segundo a qual embora saibamos o que é o tempo, não sabemos defini-lo quando interrogados. Em A Cidade de Deus, que será nosso principal foco de análise, formula uma concepção de tempo histórico em uma perspectiva dialética de grande influência na modernidade.

According to some, philosophy is very close to science; according to others, philosophy must be seen as having a practical objective; still others relate philosophy to mystical experience and religious belief. Perhaps the trouble with us today is that we sometimes ignore or blur this difference, calling “philosophy” what in the past was known by such terms as sophia, episteme,philosophia, prote philosophia, phronesis, dialectica, among others. I shall try to show here, that although to a certain extent in the Anglo-Saxon world, the conception that relates philosophy primarily to science and to epistemological problems has dominated for the past fifty years or so, Wittgenstein can be considered as defending a different conception, in which philosophy is closer to practical purposes and concerns, similar in many ways to classical scepticism.

He was also one of the main representatives of the revival of ancient skepticism in the modern age, with his own brand of skeptical thought contributing to the development of modern skepticism as distinct from the ancient one. Language was discussed in the Essais (1570-1580) from a skeptical perspective, mainly in relation to knowledge, moral and cultural relativism, and religious experience. Montaigne contributed to the development of a philosophical discussion of language, addressing fundamental questions such as: the diversity of languages and cultural relativism, the imperfection and inadequacy of ordinary language for philosophical reflection, and consequently, the need for a special language and a specific style such as that found in the Essais .

It contrasts the rationalist conception of language and knowledge with that of philosophers who adopt some sort of skeptical position, maintaining that these philosophers end up by giving language a greater importance than rationalists. The criticism of the rationalists' appeal to natural light is examined, as well as skeptical arguments limiting knowledge such as the so-called 'maker's knowledge' argument. This argument is then seen as capital for favoring a positive interpretation of the importance of language for knowledge.</jats:p>

We distinguish two views of pragmatics: the first has context as the key notion, and the second understand language as action. We take the second view as defining pragmatics in a more fundamental sense, examining two of its main representatives: Wittgenstein with his notion of the language game and Austin with his Speech Act Theory. We suggest that Speeeh Act Theory developed in certain ways can be adopted as the paradigm of a pragmatic view of language and of language analysis.
