Scepticism

Focusing on Pyrrhonism, this work explores a radical form of skepticism that neither affirms nor denies knowledge, presenting it as a philosophical lifestyle rather than a mere position. Professor Naess advocates for a sympathetic interpretation of Sextus Empiricus's outline, arguing that it captures the core elements of a rational skeptical perspective. This examination sheds light on the often-overlooked aspects of Pyrrhonian thought and its relevance to contemporary philosophical discourse.
