    • Abstract:
      The review of the New World carried out by the French Renaissance writer Michel de Montaigne in some of his most famous essays provided a picture of human condition that broke with the Aristotelian paradigm held by the Spanish humanist Juan Ginés de Sepúlveda and other authors. Montaigne, using the same texts that most of the scholastic scholars of his time used, takes distance from the dominant peripatetic view of man (christianized during the Middle Ages), showing an alternative perspective that we could qualify as radically Modem.

    • Abstract:
      El examen que del Nuevo Mundo llevó a cabo el escritor francés del Renacimiento tardío Michel de Montaigne, en alguno de sus más famosos ensayos, proporcionó un retrato de la condición humana que rompía con el paradigma aristotélico mantenido por, entre muchísimos otros, el humanista español Juan Ginés de Sepúlveda. Montaigne, usando las mismas fuentes que la mayoría de estudiosos escolásticos de su tiempo, se distanció de la dominante visión peripatética (cristianizada a lo largo de la Edad Media) del hombre, ofreciendo una perspectiva alternativa que podríamos calificar de radicalmente moderna.
