"Sextus Empiricus and Greek Scepticism" by Mary Mills Patrick is a scholarly thesis written in the late 19th century. This work focuses on the philosophical teachings of Sextus Empiricus, a prominent figure in Greek Scepticism, and aims to familiarize English-speaking students with the principles of Pyrrhonism. It includes a historical analysis of the development of Scepticism as well as a translation of significant works by Sextus, particularly his "Pyrrhonic Sketches." The opening of this thesis outlines the historical context in which Sextus Empiricus lived and wrote, highlighting the limited biographical information known about him and the challenges in pinpointing his exact contributions as a philosopher and physician. Patrick discusses the interconnectedness of Scepticism with Empiricism and details the need to understand the cultural and philosophical environment of Sextus to better comprehend his critiques of dogmatic schools of thought. Overall, the beginning lays a foundation for a deeper exploration of Sextus's arguments and the broader implications of Scepticism on the evolution of philosophical discourse.
