CHAPTER III.

_The Nomenclature of Scepticism._

The Sceptical School is also called the "Seeking School," from 7

its spirit of research and examination; the "Suspending School,"

from the condition of mind in which one is left after the

search, in regard to the things that he has examined; and the

"Doubting School," either because, as some say, the Sceptics

doubt and are seeking in regard to everything, or because they

never know whether to deny or affirm. It is also called the

Pyrrhonean School, because Pyrrho appears to us the best

representative of Scepticism, and is more prominent than all who

before him occupied themselves with it.
