Alle burde læse Sextus! : Om filosofihistorisk kanon og havuhyrers perspektiv på knitrende bønner

Bro Clemmensen, Rasmus LU (2025) In Classica: Meddelanden från Svenska klassikerförbundet 2025(2).
Abstract
In this article I argue why everyone (interested in ancient philosophy) should read the works of Sextus Empiricus. Through examples from Sextus Empiricus' Outlines of Pyrrhonism I try to show that the works of Sextus are both humoristic, interesting and philosophically relevant showcasing a perspectivism which is philosophically provoking in its own right and also affords us unique insights into different strains of ancient thought.
