TY - JOUR PY - 2014// TI - Suicide as a form of political and social action in Montaigne's and hume's skepticism JO - Revista brasileira de ciencias sociais A1 - Kiraly, C. SP - 79 EP - 90 VL - 29 IS - 86 N2 - The article approaches the subject of death, exploring the political and social dimensions of suicide in the skeptical philosophies of Michel de Montaigne and David Hume. Not intending to identify the natural, social and psychological determinants of suicide, its proposal is to investigate the centrality of death in defining the limits of sovereignty, examining as well the skeptic meaning of suicide as an act of political resistance.
