Proof, Knowledge, and Scepticism is the third volume of Jonathan
Barnes' papers on ancient philosophy. It contains twenty-two pieces
which turn about epistemological matters. The papers have all been
brushed down, and some of them have been revised. One or two of
them appear for the first time in English. The first three pieces
form a prologue (and link this volume to its predecessor): they
deal with certain ancient views about the relation between logic on
the one hand and knowledge and science on the other. After that,
the book divides into two unequal parts. The first part is
concerned with proof, five of its ten chapters discussing Aristotle
and three. The second is chiefly occupied with scepticism-more
particularly, with the Pyrrhonian version of ancient scepticism. A
final piece says something about the Book of Ecclesiastes. The
essays in this volume, some of which are less familiar than others,
are written with brio: anyone with an interest in ancient
philosophy will find them amusing.
