About this book
A doctoral thesis accepted at the University of Bern in November 1897, this work by Mary Mills Patrick, then president of the American College in Constantinople, presents Pyrrhonism, the Greek school of doubt, in its historical development and in relation to the Scepticism of the Academy. It discusses when and how Sextus Empiricus came to be linked with the Pyrrhonean school. A translation of the first book of his Pyrrhonic Sketches is added, made from Bekker's Greek text of 1842 with Fabricius's 1718 edition consulted. Patrick wrote it because English scholars had written little on Pyrrhonism.
