The Modes of Scepticism is one of the most important and influential of all ancient philosophical texts. The texts made an enormous impact on Western thought when they were rediscovered in the 16th century and they have shaped the whole future course of Western philosophy. Despite their importance, the Modes have been little discussed in recent times. This book translates the texts and supplies them with a discursive commentary, concentrating on philosophical issues but also including historical material. The book will be of interest to professional scholars and philosophers but its clear and non-technical style makes it intelligible to beginners and the interested layman.

"Succint, elegant, careful, and original, it will enlighten and stimulate three different types of reader--elementary students of philosophy, professional philosophers in general, and specialists in ancient philosophy. The credit for this unusual achievement belongs to both the authors and to the ancient Greek texts which form their subject." Journal of the History of Philosophy

Soft cover. Etat : Very Good. 1st Edition. First Edition ( 'First published 1985' ). This is another book that was previously owned by the renowned sociologist Daniel Bell. He did not write his name in the book. However (I turned over all the pages), he put a straight line at the margin of eight pages, underlined one sentence and put an exclamation mark beside another. I have a number of other books listed for sale that he did write his name in or which were inscribed to him. He took good care of this book. You can see the covers in the photos. They are very clean. There is a slight crease/crinkle on the front cover, and a teeny tiny scuff at the spine's top edge. The binding is very solid from cover to cover with nicely tight pages and nicely tight covers as well. The pages are exceptionally clean. I didn't see any soiling at all. There are eight consecutive pages that have a slight impression (something pressed against them) just off their top edge, not reaching the print, no tears, not much of anything. The tip of one bottom corner got folded in and I flattened it out but there's a little crease there. I didn't see any turned-down corners or placeholder creases. There are no stamps or anything like that. No attachments. And normally I am able to say, happily, that there is no writing in a book. Here I am happy to say that there is. And in an act of extraordinary generosity, I've still priced the book in line with the least expensive of the 1985 softcover editions. From the back cover: 'The Ten Modes of Scepticism are one of the most important and influential of all ancient philosophical texts. They made an enormous impact on Western thought when they were rediscovered in the sixteenth century and they have shaped the whole future course of Western philosophy. Despite their importance, the modes have been little discussed in recent times. This book translates the text and supplies them with a discursive commentary, concentrating on philosophical issues but also including historical material. The book will be of interest to professional scholars and philosophers but its clear and non-technical style makes it intelligible to beginners and the interested layman. It is both a useful course book for students of philosophy, especially ancient philosophy, and an exciting introduction to a vital and unjustly neglected area of ancient thought.'.
