TORIBIO-GUTIERREZ, Ma. Fernanda. The balance of the “no”. Some notes about the “οὐ μᾶλλον” in Praep. Evag. 14.18.1-5. Estud.filos [online]. 2019, n.60, pp.35-61. ISSN 0121-3628. https://doi.org/10.17533/10.17533/udea.ef.n60a03.
This paper offers some clarifications about the meaning of the formula “οὐ μᾶλλον” as it is presented in one of the most controversial passages of Aristocle’s On Philosophy (Praep. Evag. 14.18.1-5), where he discusses with the Pyrrhonians. My thesis is that the formula “οὐ μᾶλλον” has practical and therapeutical functions insofar as it plays the role of a purgative drug against “predication” rather than being an epistemological or metaphysical claim. In this sense, it is a philosophical tool against the vanities of dogmatism. To reach this conclusion, I will analyze the passage and the possible roots of this formula in the Socratic tradition.
