Sextus Empiricus' Against the Physicists examines numerous topics
central to ancient Greek inquiries into the nature of the physical
world, covering subjects such as god, cause and effect, whole and
part, bodies, place, motion, time, number, coming into being and
perishing and is the most extensive surviving treatment of these
topics by an ancient Greek sceptic. Sextus scrutinizes the theories
of non-sceptical thinkers and generates suspension of judgement
through the assembly of equally powerful opposing arguments.
Richard Bett's edition provides crucial background information
about the text and elucidation of difficult passages. His accurate
and readable translation is supported by substantial interpretative
aids, including a glossary and a list of parallel passages relating
Against the Physicists to other works by Sextus. This is an
indispensable edition for advanced students and scholars studying
this important work by an influential philosopher.
