Abstract

Spanish Abstract: Una nota sobre algunos aspectos de la filosofía escéptica de Montaigne, y más en concreto de su tratamiento de las costumbres y las convenciones, como anticipaciones del constructivismo social. En especial, las nociones de socialización primaria y secundaria formuladas por Berger y Luckmann en su influyente tratado sobre "La construcción social de la realidad" están claramente formuladas anticipadamente en el ensayo de Montaigne "De la costumbre y de cómo no se cambia fácilmente una ley recibida" (Ensayos, 1.xxiii).

English Abstract: A note on some aspects of Montaigne's skeptical philosophy, in particular his discussion of custom and convention, which anticipate social constructivism. In particular Berger and Luckmann's notions of primary and secondary socialization, from their seminal study on 'The Social Construction of Reality' are quite clearly formulated in advance in Montaigne's essay "On Custom and on how and established law is not easily changed." (Essays, I.xxiii)
