"Le scepticisme est la faculté de mettre face à face les choses qui apparaissent aussi bien que celles qui sont pensées, de quelque manière que ce soit, capacité par laquelle, du fait de la force égale qu’il y a dans les objets et les raisonnements opposés, nous arrivons d’abord à la suspension de l’assentiment, et après cela à la tranquillité."
Sextus Empiricus.

A reminder that if anyone says "Suppose that..." or "Imagine for a moment..." or "Let's do a thought experiment..." you can just say NO!

Updated the past few days #ReadingLog https://clerestory.netlify.app/reading/ and I'm looking at #Schopenhauer, Clendinnen's Aztecs: An Interpretation, #SextusEmpiricus, plus some texts on #anarchism and #buddhism

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

@sophisteuein @MathiasG @philosophy Thank you for this! I'm loving #SextusEmpiricus

@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 😅
