Outlines of Pyrrhonism by Sextus Empiricus
"Outlines of Pyrrhonism" is a philosophical text that delves into the teachings of Pyrrho, a Greek philosopher known for his skepticism. The book explores the concept of skepticism as a pathway to "ataraxia" (tranquility), arguing that suspending judgment leads to a state of mental peace. It presents Pyrrhonism as a philosophy that encourages the suspension of judgment about the truth of beliefs in order to achieve this tranquility. The text also provides a detailed comparison of Pyrrhonism with other philosophical schools of thought, such as Stoicism and Epicureanism.
