Sextus Empiricus on the Goal of Skepticism
Ancient Philosophy, 2006 In this paper I take a closer look at Sextus Empiricus’ arguments in his Outlines of Pyrrhonism I.25-30 and try to make sense of his account of Skepticism as a goal-directed philosophy. I argue that Sextus fails to mount a convincing case for the view that tranquility, rather than suspension of judgment, is the ultimate goal of his inquiries.

Sextus Empiricus’ Style Of Writing
, 2011 For, at variance with the 'official' Pyrrhonian attitude of universal suspension of judgment, a number of passages of Adversus Mathematicos (AM) XI ascribes to the Pyrrhonist both a type of negative dogmatism and a form of realism, which together amount to what may be called 'moderate ethical realism'.

Theoria, Volume 87, Issue 5, Page 1050-1066, October 2021., 2021 Abstract The article argues that there are different ways of justifying suspension of judgement. We suspend judgement not only privatively, that is, because we lack evidence, but also positively, that is, because there is evidence that provides reasons for suspending judgement: suspension is more than the rational fallback position in cases of ...
