Античный скептицизм и философия науки: диалог сквозь два тысячелетия — страница 77 из 77

The school of Pyrrhon and his followers has much anticipated the postmodern trend of the philosophy of science. The stoics and the epicureans could admit at least the existence of intersubjective truth, but the pirronists excluded it as well. They put a man into the world of total subjectivism, where there was no truth but there were a lot of subjective worlds. That’s why there was nothing a man could affirm to protect himself from various delusions, but he could doubt and deny everything without any fear for being wrong. These statements of the pirronists predicted the postmodern trend of the philosophy of science with its indifference concerning the problem of truth and with the principle of the theoretical pluralism (the relativity of truth).
