Description
Sextus Empiricus: Outlines of Scepticism is a foundational text of ancient Greek philosophy, offering a comprehensive account of Pyrrhonian scepticism and its critiques of dogmatic approaches to logic, epistemology, science, and ethics. The work presents a detailed exposition of sceptical principles, followed by critical and destructive arguments against dogmatic thinking. This translation, first published in 1994, is accompanied by a substantial new introduction that provides historical and philosophical context for the text.
