Delphi Complete Works of Sextus Empiricus Illustrated

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.
