CORREA MOTTA, ALFONSO. On Pyrrhonian Ends and Choices. A Comparative Analysis of DL 9.107-8 and M 11.141-67. Ideas y Valores [online]. 2015, vol.64, n.159, pp.227-258. ISSN 0120-0062. https://doi.org/10.15446/ideasyvalores.v64n159.43997.
The article provides a comparative analysis of the final paragraphs of Diogenes Laertius' Life of Pyrrho (9.107-8) and a chapter from the Adversus ethicos by Sextus Empiricus (M 11.[5].141-67). The results of the analysis make plausible the hypothesis regarding a common source, partially reproduced in DL, but elaborated on and refined in Sextus. The notions of end and choice are central in both texts. The paper presents the differences between the texts regarding the former and the common internal tensions entailed by treatment of the latter.
