The two books of Sextus Empiricus' Against the Physicists have not
received much attention in their own right, as sustained and
methodical specimens of sceptical philosophy. This volume redresses
the balance by offering a series of in-depth studies on them,
focusing in particular on their overall argumentative structure and
on the various ways in which their formal features relate to their
contents, showing how Sextus' procedures vary from one section to
the other, and throwing new light on the way he was using his
sources. It follows Sextus' own division of these two books into
nine successive topics, namely god, cause, wholes and parts, body,
place, motion, time, number, coming-to-be and passing-away. These
nine chapters are preceded by an introduction which discusses a
number of general features of Sextus' scepticism and links the
conclusions of this volume to some recent discussions on the scope
of ancient scepticism.
