内容説明
This is a comprehensive treatment of Greek scepticism, from the beginnings of epistemology with Xenophanes, to the final full development of Pyrrhonism as presented in the work of Sextus Empiricus. This analysis sets the arguments of the Greek sceptical thinkers in their historical context, tracing the development of scepticism in Greek thought from 500 BC to 200 AD. In addition, R.J. Hankinson considers the nature of scepticism and the extent of the Sceptics' impact on later philosophies. It also offers a thorough analysis of the only complete source on the later Pyrrhonists, the work of Sextus Empiricus. The work includes the latest scholarship on the Sceptics. It concludes with an overall assessment of the coherence of the sceptical programme, and asks if the life envisaged by this philosophical perspective is a liveable one.
