The little that we know of Anaxarchus seems to suggest that his philosophy had a good deal in common with Pyrrho's.

There is, however, no indication that Anaxarchus drew a connection between his view of the nature of things and his attitude of emotional contentment, such as we have seen that Pyrrho did.

It appears, then, that Pyrrho may have borrowed to a considerable extent from Anaxarchus.

There are, however, a couple of exceptions to this; as noted at the outset, Pyrrho was associated with Anaxarchus and was reported to have encountered some unnamed Indian thinkers.

(Diogenes Laertius 9.67, citing Pyrrho's associate Philo); Democritus is one of the few philosophers besides Pyrrho himself who seems to escape serious criticism in Timon's Lampoons; and Anaxarchus belonged in the tradition of thinkers stemming from Democritus.
