====Pyrrhonism==== The philosopher [[Sextus Empiricus]] described the [[pyrrhonism|Pyrrhonist]] position on causes as follows: <blockquote>...we show the existence of causes are plausible, and if those, too, are plausible which prove that it is incorrect to assert the existence of a cause, and if there is no way to give preference to any of these over others β since we have no agreed-upon sign, [[criteria of truth|criterion]], or proof, as has been pointed out earlier β then, if we go by the statements of the [[Dogma]]tists, it is necessary to [[epoche|suspend judgment]] about the existence of causes, too, saying that they are no more existent than non-existent<ref>[[Sextus Empiricus]] ''Outlines of Pyrrhonism'' Book III Chapter 5</ref></blockquote>
