The Dissoi Logoi and Early Greek Scepticism

Abstract

Dissoi Logoi (“Contrasting Arguments”) is the name of a little-known anonymous document that is found appended to the works of Sextus Empiricus in the manuscripts containing his writings. It was first published in Paris in 1570,1 and since that date there has been dispute, among its handful of readers, concerning its date, authorship, purpose and overall philosophical commitments.2
