Sesto Empirico : iceberg scettico della nozione di epoché

Abstract

Questo contributo mira a esaminare la 'nascita storica' della nozione di ἐποχή, legata alle radici dello scetticismo antico, nelle sue versioni accademica e pirroniana. Di conseguenza esso si concentrerà prima di tutto su Arcesilao, il genuino 'inventore' di quel concetto e delle sue procedure e in secondo luogo sul ricco corpus di Sesto Empirico, dove si possono trovare molte importanti applicazioni della tecnica elaborata per raggiungere la sospensione del giudizio su tutto. L'analisi accurata di alcuni passaggi sestani mostrerà come la nozione di ἐποχή rappresenti una tappa decisiva per il modo di vita scettico, soprattutto perché è l'unica strada sicura verso la tranquillità etica, quanto meno in materia di opinioni

This paper aims at examining the ‘historical birth’ of the notion of ἐποχή linked to the roots of ancient scepticism, in its Academic and Pyrrhonian versions. Accordingly it will firstly focus on Arcesilaus, the genuine ‘inventor’ of that concept and its relative procedure and secondly on Sextus Empiricus’s rich corpus, where one can find many important applications of the technique elaborated for reaching suspension of judgement about everything. The careful analysis of some Sextan passages will show that ἐποχή represents a decisive step for the sceptic way of life, especially because it is the only safe route towards ethical tranquillity, at least in matters of opinion
