According to Diogenes, "We cannot know," said Pyrrho, "what things are in themselves, either by sensation or by judgment, and, as we cannot distinguish the true from the false, therefore we should live impassively, and without an opinion." The term ἐποχή, so characteristic of Pyrrhonism, goes back, according to Diogenes, to the time of Pyrrho.[1] Nothing is, in itself, one thing more than another, but all experience is related to phenomena, and no knowledge is possible through the senses.[2] Pyrrho's aim was ἀταραξία and his life furnished a marked example of the spirit of indifference, for which the expression ἀπάθεια is better suited than the later one, ἀταραξία. The description of his life with his sister confirms this, where the term ἀδιαφορία is used to describe his conduct.[3] He founded his Scepticism on the equivalence of opposing arguments.[4]
