Skepticism about Practical Reason in Literature and the Law

Abstract

I begin with three stories about the fourth century B.C. Greek philosopher Pyrrho,1 the founder of skepticism in the Western philosophical tradition.2 These stories were handed down by the ancient biographer Diogenes Laertius; they exemplify the way in which semimythical tales about the founder are used to illuminate aspects of the skeptical way of life a life without commitment to definite normative beliefs.
