Abstract

The author reflects on pyrrhonian skepticism and links it to human beings. The author quotes Scottish philosopher David Hume and his book "An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding" where Hume talks about implementing pyrrhosim with epistemology. The author also mentions about epoche, ataraxia and isosthenia, all of which are part of ancient philosophy.
