The Cambridge Companion to Ancient Scepticism
A comprehensive survey of the main periods, schools and individual proponents of scepticism in the ancient Greek and Roman world.
The Unity of Plutarch's Work
This volume of collected essays explores the premise that Plutarch’s work, notwithstanding its amazing thematic multifariousness, constantly pivots on certain ideological pillars which secure its unity and coherence. So, unlike other similar books which, more or less, concentrate on either the Lives or the Moralia or on some particular aspect(s) of Plutarch’s œuvre, the articles of the present volume observe Plutarch at work in both Lives and Moralia, thus bringing forward and illustrating the inner unity of his varied literary production. The subject-matter of the volume is uncommonly wide-ranging and the studies collected here inquire into many important issues of Plutarchean scholars...
Sextus Empiricus
The subject is Sextus Empiricus, one the chief sources of information on ancient philosophy and one of the most influential authors in the history of skepticism. Sextus' works have had an extraordinary influence on western philosophy, and this book provides the first exhaustive and detailed study of their recovery, transmission, and intellectual influence through Late Antiquity, the Middle Ages, and the Renaissance. This study deals with Sextus' biography, as well as the history of the availability and reception of his works. It also contains an extensive bibliographical section, including editions, translations, and commentaries.
Sextus Empiricus’ Neo-Pyrrhonism
This book offers a comprehensive interpretation of Sextus Empiricus based on his own view of what he calls the distinctive character of skepticism. It focuses on basic topics highlighted by this ancient philosopher concerning Pyrrhonism, a kind of skepticism named for Pyrrho: its concept, its principles, its reason, its criteria, its goals. In the first part, the author traces distinct phases in the life and philosophical development of a talented person, from the pre-philosophical phase where philosophy was perceived as the solution to life's disturbing anomalies, through his initial philosophical investigation in order to find truth where the basic experience is that of a huge disagreement...
Historia del escepticismo griego
Desde su nacimiento, la filosofía ha proyectado una sombra: el escepticismo. Sombra especialmente densa cuando el cuerpo que la proyecta es la filosofía griega. Tan lejos llegaron los escépticos antiguos en su diatriba contra el dogmatismo que rechazaron por igual a los dogmáticos afirmativos, que dicen que se puede conocer, como a los negativos, que niegan que se pueda conocer. Con esa forma de razonar, aspiraban a que el entendimiento se quedara «en suspenso» y lograra así la calma. El escepticismo, cuya prehistoria se remonta a los presocráticos (Jenófanes, Demócrito) y, particularmente, a los sofistas (Gorgias), surge en el siglo IV a. C. con Pirrón, que acompañó a Alejandro...
