    Abstract: None
    This thesis is a comparative study of the Pyrrhonian Skepticism and Zen Buddhist approaches to “tranquility.” I will argue that state of ataraxia (“unperturbedness”) as interpreted by the Skeptics is essentially identical to the Zen state of “non-dwelling” as articulated by the Sixth Patriarch Huineng. In doing so, I will attempt to show how the philosophical methodologies of both Sextus and Huineng succeed in bringing the individual to a state of tranquility through the skillful use of opposition pairs, be they in the form of opposed arguments (for the Skeptics) or traditional dichotomies (for the Zennists). I will argue also that simple non-dogmatic reliance on non-rational guides to life (e.g. culture, custom, etc.) as advocated by the Skeptics is equivalent to the Zen idea of returning to life in the ordinary world absent attachment to either the ordinary or the transcendent.
    Reference: Chinese Primary Sources
    Generally speaking the Platform Sūtra is the only Zen (or Chinese) text that has attained canonical status. It will thus serve as the source text for Zen teachings for this study. The manuscript of the Platform Sūtra used here is Yang Zengwen’s (楊曾文) “New Dunhuang Version” (Dun huang xin ben 敦煌新本) of the Platform Sūtra, an annotated edition based on the second of the Mogao Caves texts (No. 077). Its full title is Nan zong dun jiao zui shang da shang mo he bo re bo luo tan jing yi juan 南宗頓教最上大乘摩訶般若波羅蜜經 六祖惠能大師於韶州大梵寺施法壇經一卷, (“The Southern School of Sudden Enlightenment, The Supreme Mahāyāna Mahāprajñāpāramitā Sūtra: The Platform Sūtra Preached by the Sixth Patriarch Huineng at Dafan Temple in Shaozhou—One Scroll”) and as believed to be one of the earliest and most reliable versions of the sūtra available (usually dated around 780 CE).
    I follow D.T. Suzuki’s traditional chapter divisions when citing the text. Quotes from the Zongbao (宗寶) edition (1271 CE) (full title: Liu zu da shi fa bao tanjing 六祖大師法寶壇經; “Dharma Jewel Platform Sūtra of the Sixth Patriarch”) are cited in accordance with the Taishō Canon standard. And though I have consulted the English translations listed below, the translations from the Chinese texts quoted in this thesis will are my own unless otherwise noted.

    Greek and Roman Primary Sources
    The primary sources for Skepticism in this study will be Sextus Empiricus’ Outlines of Pyrrhonism. I rely mostly on this text as it alone provides a very thorough overview of the Skeptic school and is for good reason Sextus’ most well-known text. Sextus’ other extant texts focus on specific arguments as opposed to the doctrines of the Skeptic school itself. Secondly, in comparison to Sextus other works, I feel that the Outlines contain Sextus’ most mature thinking on the subject as it consistently keeps to a non-dogmatic tone. Sextus scholar Richard Bett offers in my opinion a very compelling case for this view that the Outlines is more consistent to Skepticism than the other two major texts just mentioned. Quotes from the Outlines of Pyrrhonism are mainly adapted from Mate’s translation. The translations of Annas and Barnes and Bury have also been consulted.
