Sextus Empiricus

$ 2.99

A Greek philosopher of the mid-late second century AD, Sextus Empiricus produced the only extant comprehensive account of Greek Skepticism. As a major exponent of Pyrrhonistic “suspension of judgment,” Sextus attacked syllogistic proofs in every area of speculative knowledge. His work would have a long-lasting impact on the development of philosophical thought throughout Europe into the Enlightenment. Delphi’s Ancient Classics series provides eReaders with the wisdom of the Classical world, offering both English translations and the original Greek texts. This eBook presents Sextus’ complete extant works, with illustrations, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1)
