La distruzione dei valori. Il pirronismo antico e l’etica come problema

Abstract

After a short introduction about the opposition between realism/absolutism and scepticism/relativism in moral contemporary philosophy, the paper focuses on the Greek roots of such a problem and especially on Sextus Empiricus’ ethical scepticism. Apart from the ‘moral descriptive relativism’ of the tenth trope (Outlines of Pyrrhonism, 1.145-163), a careful analysis is devoted to his Against the Ethicists, where we find both the systematic destruction of values and the pyrrhonian moral proposal, intended as a reply to any charge of inactivity and a genuine recipe for attaining the final goal of eudaimonia, available for us at any time and place. - Dopo una breve introduzione sull’opposizione fra realismo/assolutismo e scetticismo/relativismo nella filosofia morale contemporanea, l’articolo si concentra sulle radici greche di tale problematica e specialmente sullo scetticismo etico di Sesto Empirico. A parte il ‘relativismo etico descrittivo’ del decimo tropo (Lineamenti pirroniani, 1.145-163), un’analisi attenta viene dedicata al Contro gli etici, dove troviamo sia la sistematica distruzione dei valori sia la proposta morale pirroniana, intesa come una replica a qualsiasi accusa di inattività e come una genuina ricetta per raggiungere l’obiettivo finale della eudaimonia, disponibile per noi in ogni tempo e luogo.
