Aenesidemus

As noted above, Schopenhauer's teacher in Göttingen was G.E. Schulze, who authored in 1792, a text entitled Aenesidemus, which contains a criticism of the Kantian philosopher, Karl Leonhard Reinhold (1757-1823).

Aristocles speaks of Aenesidemus as recent, and is apparently not aware of any subsequent members of the Pyrrhonist tradition.

Aenesidemus interpreted Heraclitus as a kind of proto-skeptic (see Polito 2004).

Among these Aristocles counts Pyrrhonism, as represented by Pyrrho himself and by the initiator of the later Pyrrhonist tradition, Aenesidemus;

But he then reports the dissenting verdict of Aenesidemus, according to which Pyrrho was perfectly capable of conducting himself in a sensible manner.

The next important ancient skeptic was Aenesidemus, who defected from Philo's Academy and revived Pyrrhonism in the early years of the first century B.C.E. “The Academics,” he said, “especially the ones now, sometimes agree with Stoic opinions and, to tell the truth, appear to be just Stoics in conflict with Stoics”

The outcome for those who actually adopt this attitude, says Timon, will be first speechlessness [aphasia], and then freedom from disturbance; and Aenesidemus says pleasure.

Therefore, according to the skeptics, the appearance is a criterion, as Aenesidemus too says.

Aenesidemus 'eight books of Pyrrhonian Arguments propounded the view that “the Pyrrhonist determines nothing, not even this, that he determines nothing” (ibid.).

Aenesidemus too in the first book of his Pyrrhonian Arguments says that Pyrrho determines nothing dogmatically because of the existence of contradictory arguments, but rather follows appearances.
