Chapter II.—Of The Arguments of Scepticism

[5] Of the Sceptic philosophy one argument (or branch of exposition) is called ‟general,” the other ‟special.” In the general argument we set forth the distinctive features of Scepticism, stating its purport and principles, its logical methods, criterion, and end or aim; the ‟Tropes,” also, or ‟Modes,”¹ which lead to suspension of judgement, and in what sense we adopt the Sceptic formulae, and the distinction between Scepticism and the philosophies which stand next to it.

[6] In the special argument we state our objections regarding the several divisions of so-called philosophy. ² Let us, then, deal first with the general argument, beginning our description with the names given to the Sceptic School.
