Empiricus: 67 (Excerpt)


“The sceptic may insist that all things are relative, by arguing that:

  1. Absolute appearances either differ from relative appearances, or they do not.
  2. If absolutes do not differ from relatives, then they are themselves relative.
  3. But if absolutes do differ from relatives, then they are relative, because all things that differ must differ from something; and to differ from something is to be relative to something.”
– Sextus Empiricus
