Abstract

General interpretation of Against the Rhetoricians (Adv. Rhet. Or M2), by philosopher/physician Sextus Empiricus (c. II‑III C.E.), applying the “middle way” tool. Thus, this Sextus’ work is approached step by step, showing the two great refutative movements which take place in the book: 1‑ the attack on the rhetoric as techne and 2‑ as producer of persuasion. Finally, a concrete case is shown in which the skeptike agoge is employed in an ambit outside of philosophy.
