The work and political activity of Ferdinando Galiani (1728-1787) raise questions about his adherence to libertine culture and the rigour of his criticism concerning the influence of the Enlightenment, especially in the social and economic sciences. His polemical writing, linked to the models of salon conversation, conceals the hard core of a radical scepticism, without renouncing an open confrontation with the variety of human experience.
