Arcesilaus of Pitane II
Ἀρκεσίλαος ὁ Πιτανεύς

Arcesilaus of Pitane and Academic Skepticism

1 work

Arcesilaus of Pitane, about 316–241 BCE, heard Peripatetic teachers at Athens, then joined the Academy, scholarch from around 268 BCE.

He wrote nothing. What this site holds is report in later hosts. Those hosts speak of ἐποχή, and of the dispute with the Stoics over whether any φαντασία guarantees κατάληψις.

A testimony is a host’s frame, not his voice. The early Academic books are lost; this name is quotation.
