Montaigne’s skepticism is a result of his studies of the ancient skeptical traditions.
His skepticism is more based on the question, “What do I know?”
<span>Montaigne’s remarks are usually preceded with the possibility of them being a mistake such as “I think…”, “To some extent…”, etc. </span>

Michel de Montaigne was a philosopher of the French Renaissance, known for making the genre of essays particularly popular.

One of the defining features of Montaigne's thinking is his skepticism. Montaigne's skeptic writing was based upon the skepticism common in ancient literature and philosophy, particularly that of the Greeks. He is particularly close to the ideas of the Pyrrhonists. One of the features of this type of thinking in his work is the encouragement of doubt, and the acceptance of the limits of knowledge.

Do juvenile killers deserve life behind bars
grin007 [14]

This question refers to the article "Do Juvenile Killers Deserve Life Behind Bars?" by Nina Totenberg.

In this article, Totenberg discusses whether life in prison is too harsh a punishment for juvenile killers. The author does not take a position on this matter, and instead focuses on presenting arguments that describe both sides of the question. The main purpose of the author is to encourage readers to think about  the subject because legislation needs to be passed soon, and this is a difficult question that deserves consideration. She shows how important this matter is when she says:

<em>"Two years ago, the court used the same rationale when it struck down the penalty of life without parole for nonhomicide crimes committed by juveniles. But in Tuesday's cases, the court faces the question of life without parole in homicide cases... the big question before the Supreme Court on Tuesday is whether life without the possibility of parole is itself an unconstitutionally cruel and unusual punishment when it is applied to juveniles."</em>
