| Description: |
This volume presents essays by leading specialists that explore the history and philosophical significance of this form of Pyrrhonism. The text debates thorny questions concerning ancient Pyrrhonism, explores its influence on certain modern thinkers, and examines it in relation to contemporary analytic philosophy. |
| Synopsis: |
This is the first collection of original essays entirely devoted to a detailed study of the Pyrrhonian tradition. The twelve contributions collected in the present volume combine to offer a historical and systematic analysis of the form of skepticism known as "Pyrrhonism". They discuss whether the Pyrrhonist is an ethically engaged agent, whether he can claim to search for truth, and other thorny questions concerning ancient Pyrrhonism; explore its influence on certain modern thinkers such as Pierre Bayle and David Hume; and examine Pyrrhonian skepticism in relation to contemporary analytic philosophy. |
