4.9/5 (24692 ratings)

Description:The Cyrenaic school was a 4th-century BC philosophical movement, related both to the Socratic tradition & to Greek scepticism. In ethics, Cyrenaic hedonism can be seen as one of many attempts made by the associates of Socrates & their followers to endorse his ethical outlook & to explore the implications of his method. In epistemology, there are close philosophical links between the Cyrenaics & the Sceptics, both Pyrrhonists & Academics. There are further links with modern philosophy, for the Cyrenaics introduced a form of subjectivism which in some ways preannounces Cartesian views, endorsed by Malebranche & Hume & developed by Kant. This constitutes the philosophical underpinnings of Cyrenaic scepticism, summarised by the thesis that we can only know our own experiences & cannnot know anything else, including objects in the world & other minds. This book reconstructs Cyrenaic epistemology, explains how it depends on Cyrenaic hedonism, locates it in the context of ancient debates & discusses its connections with modern & contemporary epistemological positions.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
