Outlines of Pyrrhonism - Book by Sextus Empiricus

Name: Outlines of Pyrrhonism
Author: Sextus Empiricus

Sextus Empiricus’ Outlines of Pyrrhonism presents the philosophical school of Pyrrhonism, a form of skepticism. Sextus advocates suspending judgment on all matters, asserting that for every argument, there is a counter-argument, thus leading to a state of uncertainty. He contends that true peace of mind can only be attained by recognizing the limits of human knowledge and refraining from making definitive claims about the world. Pyrrhonism calls for a life free from dogmatic beliefs, encouraging intellectual humility and an understanding that knowledge may always remain elusive.
