ABSTRACT

Our story has taken us from the beginnings of epistemology in pre-Classical Ionia to the splendours of the second-century AD Roman Empire. Sextus Empiricus, our best and most complete source for Greek scepticism, belongs roughly to this period;1 and here we shall abandon the historical mode of treatment. The remainder of this study will consist of a topically-ordered exposition and analysis of Sextan Scepticism.
