Many Sides
Three stars - a good book.
A well written, comprehensive overview of the philosophy of scepticism from Pyrrho to Sextus Empiricus. In between Thorsrud traces both the Academic and the Pyrrhonian schools of thought.
The book was written as an introduction to scepticism for advanced university level philosophy students. As a result, Thorsrud is constantly challenging the positions of the theories that he is putting forward. Often this approach works well, forcing the reader to think these theories through. Many times, however, the method backfires because the arguments are variations on a theme and become somewhat repetitive.
Thorsrud knows his material and is a complex thinker who gets his ideas across clearly. Good overview that is well worth the read.
