CHAPTER IX.

_Does the Sceptic Study Natural Science?_

We reply similarly also to the question whether the Sceptic 18

should study natural science. For we do not study natural

science in order to express ourselves with confidence regarding

any of the dogmas that it teaches, but we take it up in order to

be able to meet every argument by one of equal weight, and also

for the sake of [Greek: ataraxia]. In the same way we study the

logical and ethical part of so-called philosophy.
