SEXTUS EMPIRICUS
c. 160–c. 210
The Suspension of Judgment (The Vow of Calm)
Sextus: the skeptic suspends judgment on every claim and finds tranquility in the suspension. CoCA's Vow of Calm (§1.2.1) practices a mild empiricism. We do not assert that the Concept is true. We perform the Liturgy. The performance is the practice. The truth-question is bracketed. The tranquility follows the bracketing. The bracketing is the discipline.
