Why Pyrrhonism is Not Scepticism?

Why Pyrrhonism is Not Scepticism?

We know that Pyrrho journeyed to India, along with Alexander the
Great, in the fourth century BCE. According to Diogenes Laertius, it
was there, in conversation with Indian sages, that he worked out the
rudiments of his “most noble philosophy.” Kuzminski carefully examines
the historical evidence supporting this tradition. And so it happens
that, in reading this book, we stand to gain a more nuanced understanding
not only of Pyrrhonism, but of Buddhism as well.
