arcesilaus

Hän tuli Ateenaan opiskelemaan filosofiaa klo Akatemian kanssa Arkesilaos.
He came to Athens to study philosophy at the Academy with Arcesilaus .

Arkesilaos sen sijaan hyökkäsi juuri kaikenlaista varmuuden mahdollisuutta vastaan.
Arcesilaus, however, broke new ground by attacking the very possibility of certainty.

Ionin teoksista kirjoittivat kommentaareja muun muassa Arkesilaos, Baton Sinopelainen, Didymos Khalkenteros, Epigenes ja jopa Aristarkhos Samothrakelainen.
Commentaries were written upon him by Arcesilaus, Baton of Sinope, Didymus, Epigenes, and even by Aristarchus.

Arkesilaos meni kuitenkin vielä Sokratesta pidemmälle ja kielsi jopa tämän sokraattisen varmuuden minimin: hänen mukaansa emme voi tietää edes sitä, tiedämmekö vai emme.
But Arcesilaus went further and denied the possibility of even the Socratic minimum of certainty: "I cannot know even whether I know or not."

Diogenes Laertios kertoo, että Arkesilaos olisi kuollut seuraajansa Lakydeen tavoin runsaan juomisen seurauksena, mutta muiden (kuten Kleantheen) antama todistus asiasta sekä hänen omat ohjeensa kumoavat tarinan.
Diogenes Laërtius says that, like his successor Lacydes, Arcesilaus died of excessive drinking, but the testimony of others (e.g. Cleanthes) and his own precepts discredit the story, and he is known to have been much respected by the Athenians.
