Description
The Stoic Six Pack 4: The Sceptics brings together six key texts from ancient Greek scepticism. At its core is the concept of ataraxia, or tranquility, which was central to the philosophy of Pyrrho and his followers. Pyrrho's idea of practical skepticism led him to conclude that a state of ataraxia could be achieved through the application of certain principles. This goal became the ultimate aim of the early sceptics, who sought to cultivate a life free from distress and worry. The texts collected in this volume offer insights into the development of sceptical thought and its relationship with ethics. By exploring these ancient texts, readers can gain a deeper understanding of the principles that underpinned Greek scepticism and its ongoing relevance today.
