Description

Explore a unique side of ancient skepticism with Sextus Empiricus: Against Those in the Disciplines. Published by Oxford University Press, this work provides a rare look into how ancient thinkers questioned expertise across various specialized fields. Unlike his more famous philosophical texts, this work examines the foundations of grammar, rhetoric, geometry, arithmetic, astrology, and music. This edition is essential for students and historians of ancient civilization. It includes a translation accompanied by an introduction and detailed notes to help readers navigate the specialized subject matter. While some arguments rely on the specific knowledge of the ancient world, the provided scholarly context makes this text accessible for those studying the history of logic and ancient disciplines. Whether you are a scholar of Roman history or an enthusiast of classical thought, this volume offers a deep dive into the skeptical questioning of expert credentials in the ancient era.
