Who this is

“Everyone else promised peace of mind as the reward for finding the answers. Pyrrho found peace by genuinely giving up the need for answers — and made not knowing a way of life.”
— The Great Philosophers, Ch. 28

The big idea, in the book's words:

“On the deepest questions, our senses and opinions can't settle what things really are — so stop asserting, suspend judgment, and tranquility will follow on its own.”
— The Great Philosophers, Ch. 28
