Sextus Empiricus. Works in Two Volumes.
Moscow: Mysl, 1976.
Vol. 1: Outlines of Pyrrhonism. — 399 pp. Vol. 2: Against the Professors (Adversus Mathematicos). — 421 pp. Hardcover, regular format. Series: "Philosophical Heritage" (Vols. 69, 70). In Russian.

This 1976 two-volume set represents the most comprehensive Russian-language edition of the works of Sextus Empiricus, the preeminent physician and philosopher of the Sceptic school. Published as part of the prestigious "Philosophical Heritage" (Filosofskoe nasledie) series by the Mysl publishing house, these volumes (numbered 69 and 70 in the series) are essential for the study of ancient Greek thought. The first volume contains the famous "Outlines of Pyrrhonism," where Sextus details the tropes of Scepticism and the method of achieving ataraxia (unperturbedness) through the suspension of judgment. The second volume comprises the extensive "Against the Professors," providing a rigorous critique of the dogmatic sciences of his time, including grammar, rhetoric, geometry, and astrology.
The text provides a deep dive into the internal logic of ancient epistemological critique, including the arrangement of arguments against the possibility of absolute truth and the dialectical methods used to counter Stoic and Epicurean doctrines. This edition is noted for its high-quality scholarly apparatus, featuring translations by N. V. Bryullov-Shaskolsky and A. F. Losev, accompanied by detailed commentaries and an introductory essay that situates Sextus Empiricus within the broader context of Hellenistic philosophy. The durable hardcover binding and classic design of the series make this set a centerpiece for any academic library or collection of classical philosophy. As a cornerstone of the skeptical tradition, these volumes remain a primary source for understanding the development of Western logic and the limits of human knowledge.
