About the Book

Outlines of Scepticism, by the Greek philosopher Sextus Empiricus, is a work of major importance. It is the fullest extant account of ancient Scepticism, and also one of our most copious sources of information about the other Hellenistic philosophies. Moreover, the rediscovery of Sextus in the sixteenth century brought about a revolution in philosophy. Anyone interested in the history of philosophy must have at least an acquaintance with Sextus, and for students of Hellenistic philosophy his writings are indispensable. Julia Annas and Jonathan Barnes provide an accurate and readable English translation of the Outlines, with a short introduction and brief annotation.

Table of Contents:
Introduction; abbreviations; Translation: Outlines of Scepticism: Book I, Book II, Book III; Bibliography; English-Greek Glossary; Greek-English Glossary; Index of names; Index of subjects.

Review :
"Annas and Barnes are not only more faithful to the Greek and to Sextus' understanding of philosophical writing. They are also easier to understand. And when the Annas-Barnes translation makes Sextus easier to understand, Sextus becomes more accessible to the non-Greek reader: surely one of the most important goals for any translation....a welcome addition to scholars of both ancient and modern scepticism." Suzanne Abram, Canadian Philosophical Reviews "The service that Annas and Barnes have performed is to present PH as a whole, on its own terms. It is perfectly clear, as a result, that every philosopher and historian of philosophy should have a version of PH on his or her shelf -- and that this is the one to have." Ancient Philosophy "This edition will serve as a valuable resource for both beginning students and scholars." Choice ."..[Annas's and Barnes's book] has done more than any other work to awaken general interest in ancient scepticism." Svavar Hrafn Svavarsson, University of Iceland
