Sceptical Αταραξία

We can consider that the skepticism of Pyrrhon(360 b.Ch.-270 b.Ch) is a Greek philosopher that has had responsibility, we no consider how it is consciously, of foundation of skeptical sept; this philosophical think is influenced from Epicurean think because both address want that every reality and opinion that is denied by reality must no alter soul of man, but he must keep calm and imperturbability, after they explain what are principle of skepticism, but now I want stress, that this calm is ataraxia is epicurean philosophy, because Epicurus has write, in his letters, about ataraxia, that to him was ideal state. This condition is reachable alone without passions; this is if we haven’t passions we can be calm and rational and without angriness and worry, this state is ataraxia, this is from ancient Greek without passions. The main principle of skepticism are very easy, they has said and explain that every reality is questionable, and every reality has two or very much judges to everybody; thereby something can be so or no, it is motive whereby skeptic haven’t dogma, this is opinion no questionable, but this condition can determine worry and angriness, thereby calm or ataraxia are necessary. We can consider the questionable of skepticism, because we can oppose opinion about a tower, because distant it seems circular and when we are very next we can note that it is square, therefore we have had two opinions and we can set these opinions and when we are denied we don’t feel worry, and I repeat that is ataraxia of Epicurus, and two these philosopher have been contemporary, therefore they could influenced one other. This reluctance to every dogma is justified because then every philosopher imposed his opinion and teaching, Pyrrhon has been different and he, after Socrates imposed questionable of truth, and this is teaching and teaching of Socrates, that has taught that every truth is personal, and we can think, logic method, something.
