The Sceptic's Arguments

Sextus compares scepticism to a purgative drug which is evacuated from the body along with whatever the drug is meant to purge. He would not believe that buster keaton is a genius or that honey is sweet, but would believe that keaton seems to him to be a genius and that honey appears sweet. Sextuss philosophy is a means of dispelling disturbance. Someone who is not bothered by a topic of inquiry has no need to embark upon the sceptic path.
