Abstract:
In his Outlines of Skepticism, Sextus Empiricus claims that the Pyrrhonian Skeptic can live without holding beliefs. According to the 'Rustic' interpretation of this claim, Sextus holds that the Skeptic lives without beliefs of any kind. According to the 'Urbane' interpretation, Sextus' claim concerns only a restricted category of beliefs. I discuss each interpretation in the context of Sextus' broader philosophical stance, and argue for an Urbane interpretation. On this view, Pyrrhonism represents a practicable stance towards the world.<br>Master of Arts

Abstract:
Ancient Greek philosophical schools are said to share a common structure in their ethical theories which is characterized by a eudaimonistic teleology based in an understanding of human nature. At first glance, the skepticism of Sextus Empiricus as described in the Outlines of Pyrrhonism seems to fit into this model insofar as he describes the end of the skeptic as ataraxia, a common account of the expression of human happiness. I argue that this is a misunderstanding of Sextus’s philosophy for several reasons. “The end of skepticism” cannot be eudaimonistic or teleological in the way that oth

Abstract:
Le but de ce travail est de fournir une interprétation de la pensée de Sextus Empiricus capable de rendre compte de l' esprit de la méthode sceptique. Les principales raisons qui rendent le scepticisme antique difficilement accessible, à savoir la confusion avec le scepticisme moderne et la lecture de l' oeuvre de Sextus Empiricus comme une doxographie ou une somme du scepticisme, sont d'abord exposées. Diverses hypothèses sur l'histoire du pyrrhonisme, en particulier les dates d'Enésidème, la nature de ses relations avec l'Académie, les liens entre le scepticisme et la médecine empirique, son

Abstract:
This thesis has as its focus five argumentative modes that lie at the heart of Sextus Empiricus’ Outlines of Pyrrhonism. They are the modes of disagreement, hypothesis, infinite regression, reciprocity and relativity. They are analysed, individually, in the first five chapters of the thesis (one mode per chapter) and, collectively, in the sixth. The first four chapters deal, respectively, with the modes of disagreement, hypothesis, infinite regression and reciprocity. They distinguish between two versions of these modes: “dogmatic versions”, on the basis of which a dogmatic philosopher, who ho

Abstract:
In this thesis I try to answer the question of what attitude the ancient sceptics had towards the notion of belief. I concern myself exclusively with Pyrrhonic scepticism, as it was described by Sextus Empiricus in his book Pyrrhoniai hypotyposeis. Pyrrhonic scepticism was an epistemological system with ethical ramifications, that questioned most of the conventional wisdom of the time, I begin by evaluating two infleuntial readings, by Michael Frede and Casey Perin. I then go on to make my own assessment. Ultimately, I show why Frede's view is the more plausible; the sceptics allowed themselve

Abstract:
Comment concilier scepticisme et maintien des apparences ? Soit le scepticisme nie les apparences et se rend informulable et impossible à vivre ; soit le maintien des apparences conduit à une forme de dogmatisme qui nie le scepticisme. Le premier chapitre de cette thèse démontre que, chez Sextus Empiricus, le conflit des apparences est le problème fondamental de la philosophie : l'apparence est ce dont il s'agit d'évaluer la vérité. Le chapitre suivant expose comment, chez lui, les philosophies qui nient que les apparences mènent au vrai, que ce soit le nihilisme, le relativisme ou l'intellect
