Abstract
We aim to show how Sextus Empiricus develops his attack on the technai in Against the Professors (M I-VI). First of all, we will outline the concept of stoicheion (plural: stoicheia ) in Aristotle, for we think that the wide use of the concept by the Hellenistic Philosophers addresses itself to Aristotle’s employment of it. Thus, Sextus Empiricus approaches the technai through a paradigm internal to their own systematization, from their “elements” ( stoicheia ). Secondly, we will take into consideration Sextus’ approach to grammar, and we link this discussion on grammar to the other technai. Finally, we aim to identify the political and pedagogical consequences of Sextus’ approach.
