  1. I recorded a #podcast out in the Woods for the first time. Took a bit of doing to get the volume right but I'm reasonably happy with the output.

    In this episode, I speak in the Wood about what I'm interested in why. This includes #Pyrrhonism, #Buddhism, #Spinoza, #Schopenhauer, #Nietzsche, #Hume, #Peirce, #Kuhn, #Jaynes, #McGilchrist, and more.

  2. #Pyrrhonism opposes having opinions which apply antilogies or dichotomies to non-evident affairs/matters/things. Suspending judgment (#epoché) then leads to not being disturbed (#ataraxia). It is *not* a #philosophy of metaphysical argumentation; it is an ethical and pragmatic stance.

  3. Is anyone aware of earlier FAQ-style documents? #SextusEmpiricus, Outlines of Scepticism, ~190 AD. This is a phenomenal book btw.

  4. @MathiasG @philosophy So I started this and it is brilliant. Are there FAQs that are older than this? Is this a common format?

    I think I may have been a Pyrrhonist all along 😅

  5. CW: Philosophical skepticism

    Anyone have a view on Richard Bett vs Christopher Beckwith? They seem to have some tension (reading Beckwith's Greek Buddha and Bett's Cambridge Guide to Ancient Scepticism)
