How to Keep an Open Mind provides an unmatched introduction to skepticism by presenting a fresh, modern translation of key passages from the writings of Sextus Empiricus, the only Greek skeptic whose works have survived. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile content in daily life to go along with things as they appear to be, Sextus advocated-and provided a set of techniques to achieve-a radical suspension of judgment about the way things really are, believing that such nonjudging can be useful for challenging the unfounded dogmatism of others and may help one achieve a state of calm and tranquility. In an introduction, Richard Bett makes the case that the most important lesson we can draw from Sextus\u0026amp;#x27;s brand of skepticism today may be an ability to see what can be said on the other side of any issue, leading to a greater open-mindedness. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eComplete with the original Greek on facing pages, How to Keep an Open Mind offers a compelling antidote to the closed-minded dogmatism of today\u0026amp;#x27;s polarised world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47845870108830,"sku":"ADS-9780691206042","price":29.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780691206042.jpg?v=1781223479","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780691206042","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
