Simon Foucher

His philosophical standpoint was one of Academic skepticism: he did not agree with dogmatism, but didn't resort to Pyrrhonism, either.

For some years he held the position of honorary canon at Dijon, but he resigned in order to take up his residence in Paris.

He graduated at the Sorbonne, having studied theology, and spent the remainder of his life in literary work in Paris, where he died.

[3] In his 1673 publication, Dissertation on the Search for Truth, he brought to light people's psychological predilection for certainties.

In addition to these works, Foucher published two long poems, and a few shorter philosophical pieces.
