Detail: He founded Pyrrhonian Skepticism and was against Academy Platonists. He developed ten skepticism modes {trope, Aenesidemus}. Perception does not optimize. People differ in character and what they think is good. Objects present visual and other perceptions, and none is defining. Perceptions differ under different moods. Perceptions differ in different contexts. Nothing can separate from everything else, so properties are not definite. Properties differ depending on quantity, such as for medicine. Perception has viewpoint, so knowledge is relative. Value depends on frequency, so rare things and events are more valuable. Customs, education, and beliefs influence perception and judgment.
