In this paper I examine the notion of ataraxia as present in the pyrrhonian skepticism of Sextus Empiricus. My purpose is to show that, in spite of preserving aspects that seem to be associated with this concept already in Pyrrho’s philosophy, it changes substantially and has, at least in the Hypotypes, a fundamental aspect corresponding to an “intellectual” tranquility associated with the suppression of the type of philosophical disturbance that skepticism would remove. I would also like to show that such a peculiarity would allow us to understand how it would relate in a coherent way to the notion of Pyrrhonic skeptical inquiry.
In order to achieve it, we also examinate how it is connected with Sextus's conceptions of “philosophical therapy” and “epokhe about all things”.
