Description

Against Those in the Disciplines (Pros Mathematikous) is Sextus Empiricus' critical examination of six specialized ancient fields: grammar, rhetoric, geometry, arithmetic, astrology, and music. This Oxford University Press translation challenges the expertise claims of practitioners in these disciplines through sceptical argumentation. Though less widely read than Sextus' other works, this text offers valuable insights into ancient intellectual traditions and sceptical philosophy. The work requires understanding of how these disciplines functioned in antiquity, making it essential for scholars of ancient thought, history, and philosophical scepticism. This annotated translation includes introduction and detailed notes to guide readers through Sextus' rigorous questioning of established knowledge claims across multiple domains of ancient learning.
