A 'self-refutation argument' is any argument which aims at showing
that (and how) a certain thesis is self-refuting. This study was
the first book-length treatment of ancient self-refutation and
provides a unified account of what is distinctive in the ancient
approach to the self-refutation argument, on the basis of close
philological, logical and historical analysis of a variety of
sources. It examines the logic, force and prospects of this
original style of argumentation within the context of ancient
philosophical debates, dispelling various misconceptions concerning
its nature and purpose and elucidating some important differences
which exist both within the ancient approach to self-refutation and
between that approach, as a whole, and some modern counterparts of
it. In providing a comprehensive account of ancient
self-refutation, the book advances our understanding of influential
and debated texts and arguments from philosophers like Democritus,
Plato, Aristotle, Epicurus, the Stoics, the Academic sceptics, the
Pyrrhonists and Augustine.
