Submitted by Гость (not verified) on Wed, 09/04/2024 - 23:54A distinction is made between Pyrrho and neo-pyrrhonists on their attitude towards practical activity. In Pirron, the desire for an indifferent attitude toward life was combined with separate manifestations of preference and avoidance. Neo-pyrrhonists separated dogmatic questions from everyday concerns. In relation to dogmatic questions, skeptics took the position of abstaining from judgment. In relation to everyday matters, they took the position of following customs and laws. It is established that skeptics in the political sphere were supporters of conservatism and political conformism.
