Sextus Empiricus' Against the Logicians is by far the most detailed
surviving examination by any ancient Greek sceptic of the areas of
epistemology and logic. It critically examines the pretensions of
non-sceptical philosophers to have discovered methods for
determining the truth, either through direct observation or by
inference from the observed to the unobserved. It is therefore a
fine example of the Pyrrhonist sceptical method at work. It also
provides a mine of information about the ideas of other Greek
thinkers, ideas that are in many cases poorly preserved in other
sources. This volume presents Against the Logicians in a new and
accurate translation, together with a detailed introduction that
sets the work in its philosophical context.
