The Hellenistic Scepticism As A Therapy For Soul

For there is a giant revolution of political situation during the Hellenistic period,the Greeks involved into a anxious situation. Then the philosophy turned into a science about the lifestyle. In this situation,Epicureanism,Stoicism and Scepticism were born.They all came up with a therapy for the diseases of soul:Stoicism advocated everything to the reason(logos),then became dogmatic;and Epicurean asserted that all the spiritual pain and anxiety were caused by the false belief;but Scepticism regarded the belief itself as the origin of the spiritual pain,anxiety and disturbance.So, firstly there is a introduction about the therapy of Epicureans and Stoics, it makes a comparison between Scepticism`s therapy and others. Then it presents the Scepticism tropos which are used to refute the arguments of Dogmatism. The presentation is mainly about ten tropos of Aenesidemus and five tropos of Agrippa.At last there will be a answer to the question which is assumed by Dogmatism, “can Scepticism live in life without belief ? ”,it gives a conclusion that Scepticism never denied or doubt about the practical life.
