We know that it is a classic of scepticism, authored by an enigmatic physician trained in Montpellier, who had spent time in Rome and was practising successfully in Toulouse. We know that the small book, originally written in Latin, was reprinted in Frankfurt (1618), Toulouse (1636), Rotterdam (1649), and Stettin (1665). In Spanish, it has been translated and republished five times, though without attracting significant public attention. The most recent edition was prepared by Mar\u00eda Asunci\u00f3n S\u00e1nchez Manzano for Tecnos in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>This profoundly heterodox text fits squarely within the broader<strong> Renaissance Humanist<\/strong> critique of Scholasticism, shared by figures like <strong>Vives and Erasmus<\/strong>, whom Francisco S\u00e1nchez closely followed and read. However, his critique takes a more direct and radical form, foreshadowing the intellectual revolutions of <strong>Descartes and Francis Bacon<\/strong>. The work is also a notable precursor to <strong>Hume<\/strong>, explicitly questioning whether a principle of causality can exist. S\u00e1nchez, born in Tuy to a family of Jewish converts who fled Portugal, was a true pioneer. This is especially evident in the striking \u201cPrologue to the Reader,\u201d where he declares his dissatisfaction with the state of inherited knowledge&#8221;: I examined the teachings of those who came before me; I questioned the knowledge of my contemporaries; they all gave me the same response. In none of them was there anything that satisfied me&#8221;<sup>1<\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<strong>That Nothing is Known<\/strong>\u201d is the book\u2019s central leitmotif, but it is far from the only recurring idea in S\u00e1nchez\u2019s work. He explicitly rejects purely theoretical knowledge rooted in syllogisms and instead advocates for a \u201cnew science\u201d grounded in the \u201cperfect observation\u201d of nature. His vibrant use of the first person recalls the tone adopted by Descartes and Spinoza, who, more than half a century later, described their intellectual journeys in similar terms: &#8220;Therefore, I resolved to investigate all things anew, as though no one before me had ever examined them. <strong>By doubting everything<\/strong>, by putting aside all assumptions, I began to look directly at things themselves\u2014this, I believed, was the true path to knowledge.&#8221;<sup>1<\/sup><\/p>\n<p>Science must learn to transcend the limitations of language and flee from Scholastic logic. For this physician, obsessed with precision, human language\u2014imperfect as it is\u2014seemed like a curse. Syllogisms, in his view, were an actual hindrance and a deception: \u201cAnd now, what is this thing called demonstration? You will again resort to defining it: \u2018A syllogism that leads to knowledge\u2019. You have closed the circle. And moreover, you have disappointed me, and yourself as well. <strong>But what is a syllogism?<\/strong> Astonishing! Prick up your ears and let your imagination soar, for perhaps it will contain such a torrent of words\u201d. Ultimately, what he despised was verbosity. Chains of cyclical inferences appeared to him as the tricks of charlatans, mediocre thinkers, pseudo-scientists, and conjurers: \u201cIn the end, what is being? You still don\u2019t know, as before. What have you achieved with these syllogisms? You haven\u2019t proven that man is a being.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>His defence of a <strong>proto-empiricism<\/strong> is made clear in statements like: \u201cTo avoid being ensnared by them [contradictions], free from them, I have turned to real things.\u201d<br \/>\nOr: \u201cIt is easy to see how foolish are those who seek complete knowledge in isolation, disregarding reality\u201d. <strong>Spinoza<\/strong>, so similar in tone and intent yet so different in his commitment to internal truths, would likely have found these dissolving conclusions abhorrent.<\/p>\n<p>Another surprising feature\u2014this time, an absence\u2014is the lack of constant references to the classics that often burden the works of S\u00e1nchez\u2019s humanist contemporaries. Figures like <strong>Aristotle, Socrates, Cicero, Lucretius, Horace<\/strong>, and Ecclesiastes appear in his text, but sparingly and without affectation. This restraint adds a refreshing lightness to S\u00e1nchez\u2019s prose and, dare we say, an extra dose of readability. Unlike others, this philosopher-physician expressed his concerns and even his indignation at Thomist orthodoxy without encumbering his arguments with unnecessary citations. He simply did not need them.<\/p>\n<p>One can only wish he had written more works like this. S\u00e1nchez is strikingly modern, anticipating even contemporary debates, such as the one sparked by <strong>Markus Gabriel<\/strong>, who argued that the world does not exist. Gabriel\u2019s reasoning echoes S\u00e1nchez\u2019s 1576 argument: \u201cOur ignorance has another cause: the substance of certain things is so vast that it cannot be perceived by us at all\u201d<sup>1<\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p>S\u00e1nchez\u2019s conclusion was clear and remains relevant: \u201cConstruct a new science, (&#8230;) for the old methods have failed us\u201d. The message is unmistakable: we must always challenge entrenched orthodoxies. That was his enduring call to action.<\/p>\n<p>___<\/p>\n<p><sup>1<\/sup>Passages drawn from the English translation by Douglas F.S.
