Dr RR Baliga's Philosophical Discourses: Pyrrho (Greece, c. 360–270 BCE) – Founder of Pyrrhonism
Dr. Baliga's 'Got Knowledge Doc?' PODKASTS
Pyrrho of Elis (c. 360–270 BCE) was an ancient Greek philosopher and founder of Pyrrhonism, a school of philosophical skepticism. He advocated for epoché (suspension of judgment) as a path to ataraxia (peace of mind). Influenced by his travels to India with Alexander the Great, Pyrrho believed that nothing could be definitively known and that by refraining from beliefs, one could achieve tranquility. His teachings laid the foundation for later skeptical thought in philosophy and medicine.
info_outlineZhuang Zhou, also known as Zhuangzi, was an influential 4th-century BCE Chinese philosopher during the Warring States period.
As a foundational figure of Taoism, he authored the Zhuangzi, a text known for its profound philosophical insights, parables, and critiques of societal norms, emphasizing personal freedom and harmony with the Tao.
His ideas remain central to Chinese philosophy and continue to inspire discussions on ethics, metaphysics, and human nature.
