| Summary | "Que nada se sabe" by Francisco Sánchez is a philosophical treatise written in the late 16th century. This work presents a skeptical inquiry into the nature and limits of human knowledge, positioning itself against established philosophical doctrines, particularly those of Aristotle. The author embarks on a personal exploration of knowledge and certitude, emphasizing the inadequacy of existing definitions and methodologies in philosophy. The opening of the text presents Sánchez discussing his motivations for writing, reflecting on the futility of seeking absolute knowledge amidst conflicting opinions of various philosophers. He articulates a deep skepticism about the ability to truly define or know the essence of things, suggesting that many philosophical debates are merely verbal constructs that obfuscate rather than clarify understanding. He also proposes that true knowledge lies not in the silogisms and pedantic logic of his predecessors, but in a direct contemplation of nature and the empirical experiences one gathers throughout life, thus setting the stage for a radical critique of metaphysical claims and a call for a more grounded approach to learning.
