It is probable that those who seek after anything whatever, will 1 either find
it as they continue the search, will deny that it can be found and confess it
to be out of reach, or will go on seeking it. Some have said, accordingly, in
regard to the things sought in philosophy, that they have found the truth,
while 2 others have declared it impossible to find, and still others continue
to seek it. Those who think that they have found it are those who are espe-
cially called Dogmatics, as for example, the Schools of Aristotle and Epicu-
rus, the Stoics and some others. Those who have declared it impossible to
find are Clitomachus, 3 Carneades, with their respective followers, and other
Academicians. Those who still seek it are the Sceptics. It appears therefore,
reasonable to conclude that the three 4 principal kinds of philosophy are the
Dogmatic, the Academic, and the Sceptic. Others may suitably treat of the
other Schools, but as for the Sceptical School, we shall now give an outline
of it, remarking in advance that in respect to nothing that will be said do we
speak positively, that it must be absolutely so, but we shall state each thing
historically as it now appears to us.

One way of treating the Sceptical philosophy is called 5 general, and the other
special. The general method is that by which we set forth the character of
Scepticism, declaring what its idea is, what its principles are, its mode of
reasoning, its criterion, and its aim. It presents also, the aspects of doubt,
[Greek: hoi tropoi tes epoches], and the way in which we should under-
stand the Sceptical formulae, and the distinction between Scepticism and
the related Schools of philosophy. The special method, on the contrary, is
that by which we 6 speak against 6 each part of so-called philosophy. Let us
then treat Scepticism at first in the general way, beginning our delineation
