Japanese: セクストス・ホ・エンペイリコス(英語表記)Sextos ho Empeirikos
Sextos ho Empeirikos
Sextus Empiricus, Latin name. A Greek philosopher of the 2nd century who preceded Diogenes Laertius. Dates of birth and death unknown. One of the leading figures of skepticism. As his name "Ho Empirical" suggests, he was also a physician who valued experience. His works, such as "Outlines of Pyrrhonism (Pyrrhonei Hypotyposeis)," are not only valuable resources for the study of skepticism, but are also important resources for the study of Greek philosophy in general.
