This was the school of skepticism founded by Pyrrho of Elis. Pyrrhonian Skeptics were committed to living in accordance with appearances and to suspending judgment on all propositions. They did not seek certainty or knowledge of the world, but rather aimed to achieve a state of tranquility by suspending all judgments and avoiding dogmatic belief. Pyrrhonian Skeptics expressed their aim in a famous phrase, "they suspend judgment like a pair of scales.".
