Οὐκ τέχνη ἐστὶν ῥητορική: Sextus and the rhetorical crisis in the Roman Empire

Ceticism, Rhetorics, Sextus EmpiricusAbstract
The refutation of Rhetorics under the late Pyrrhonic Ceticism has been extensively explained in literature. In this article, however, we present a different point of view regarding this subject: we aim at presenting within Rhetorics itself, taken as an educational and cultural practice in the Roman Empire, some aspects which pointed out the very crisis of which Sextus Empiricus is a remarkable representative. We evaluate positions within Seneca’s, Quintilian’s and Tacitus’s works, confronting them with Sextus Empiricus’s Against the rhetoricians.
