Review
"A good introduction, engaging translation and a commentary that may make it possible to assign the one volume instead of Annas-Barnes and their translation of the "Outlines". --Owen C. Cramer, Colorado College
"...although there exist a number of partial translations and excerpts of the Outlines of Pyrronism, Benson Mates's translation is the first complete English version of the work since the Loeb translation by R. G. Bury, printed in 1933....The Outlines is a work of philosophy, and Mates brings to his work a philosopher's mind. It is undoubtedly an improvement over its predecessor, especially in the rendering of technical terms and in the clarification through translation of some obscure argumentative structures."--Lloyd P. Gerson, International Philosophical Quarterly
Philosophical Quarterly --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
