Scepticisme et Lumières

Last year, I posted information about the conference "Scepticisme et Lumières", which would take place in April 2010 at the Université de Sherbrooke (Montréal). As Chris Laursen made me realize, last month I forgot to post a reminder of this conference. However, some of you might still want to know about the speakers and their papers. So here is the program.
