Description
Outlines Of Pyrrhonism by Sextus Empiricus A comprehensive collection of philosophical writings, Outlines Of Pyrrhonism presents the practical and ethical scepticism of Pyrrho of Elis, as developed by its exponent, Sextus Empiricus. This work is a valuable source for understanding the history of thought, particularly in relation to sceptic doctrines. Sextus Empiricus was a Greek physician and philosopher who lived in ancient Greece and Rome, and whose writings provide insight into the intellectual debates of his time. His three surviving works are Outlines Of Pyrrhonism, Against the Dogmatists, and Against the Professors, which offer a critical examination of various philosophical schools. This Loeb Classical Library edition is in four volumes and provides an important resource for scholars and students of ancient philosophy.
