Sextus Empiricus

Sextus Empiricus

Sextus Empiricus (c. 160–210 AD) was a Greek philosopher and physician, known as a central figure in ancient skepticism. He represented the Pyrrhonian school of thought, which argued that certain knowledge is impossible to achieve, and that the path to peace of mind (ataraxia) lay in refraining from judging things about which one cannot have certain insight. His most important work is Pyrrhōneioi hypotypōseis ("Grounds of Pyrrhonism"), in which he systematically argues against dogmatic philosophy and the limitations of knowledge. Sextus Empiricus's thoughts have had a great influence on the development of philosophy, especially in the fields of epistemology and scientific method.
