Man is skeptic in nature. He can never lead his life without questioning his sur

which never stops bombarding him with questions and doubts. He is not tota

make up his choice, but he is rather driven, to an uncertain extent, to con

manifold contradictions in his culture- attitudes, beliefs, and values- which is n

completely independent entity. Man, being pressed like this, tends to express

in reaction to the incoming issues of our everyday life. The degree of such

varies in accordance with the personality, mentality, and the beliefs of people.

Some turn to be cool, easy going, and tolerant; yet others, if not most, beh

dogmatic and fanatic way. Is it possible, in such cases, for someone to b

dogmatic skeptic by simply withholding belief in cases where we appe

confronted with compelling arguments in support a particular issue? Can one s

his life merely according to appearances while being completely noncomm

respect to the truth of a particular issue? To begin to examine these question

to eventually be at a loss as to what one should believe.

Truth is what we live for. Every person in every culture struggles to find a seexistence. His happiness lies in finding consistency between himself

surroundings. For this reason, one always tends to accommodate the knowled

world through a variety of (re)actions and processes with respect to the t

particular issue. When confronted with arguments in support of an issue, pe

more than a way to express their position. One can specifically list two kinds o

dogmatic, non-dogmatic.

As for dogmatic people, the truth is always on their side, the arguments are

support their point. The other is wrong no matter what his evidence looks like.

truth is a pre-set value judgment which can never be subject to skepticism o

argument. Its idealistic, certain, top-down, and unquestionable.

Non-dogmatic, however, looks to this issue from a different wide angle. Fo

dogmatic skeptic, its not that necessary to show off his beliefs and prece

confronted by some compelling arguments of a particular issue, for he can s

his life merely according to appearances while being completely noncomm

respect to the truth of that issue. In this way, one can simply maintain a

happiness because he has built in a reasonable criterion (wisdom) to conduct h

this respect, Sextus remarks that

inasmuch as it was necessary . . . to investigate also the conduct of life, whic

naturally, be directed without a criterion, upon which happiness-that is, the e

depends for its assurance, Arcesilaus asserts that he who suspends judgme

everything will regulate his inclinations and aversion and his actions in gene

rule of the reasonable [to eulogon], and by proceeding in accordance

criterion he will act rightly; for happiness is attained by means of wisdom, an

consists in right actions, and the right action is that which, when performed,

a reasonable justification. He, therefore, who attends to the reasonable will a

and be happy (M 7.158, translated by Bury).

Withholding ones belief or suspend our judgment in cases where we app

confronted with compelling arguments in support of a particular issue is theref

of wisdom, and its likely to make a person happy and satisfied.

Well its not so important for me to let others see and believe that "X is alway

is never Y" to lead a happy and satisfactory life, for I can simply continue t

what I believe while my belief is kept secret. Yes, its possible; If I want I can

conditional principle and everyone can put it into action, a normally right action

Its true however, that culture - because of its transitional nature- might

individual into a power-driven, dogmatic skeptic, struggling to embody his be

seen and adopted by anyone, yet history has proved that culture is not natu

first is subject to change, especially as our awareness continues to grow and m

pluralism of the diverse universe and human community. So no one has ever h

to be so dogmatic, yet anyone, on the other hand, might be so for a reason

reason at all.

For this reason, Aristocles argues, neither our sensations nor our opinions tell

or falsehoods. For this reason we should not put our trust in them one bitshould be unopinionated, uncommitted and unwavering, saying concern

individual thing that it no more is than is not, or it both is and is not, or it neit

is not. The outcome for those who actually adopt this attitude, says Timon, w

speechlessness, and then freedom from disturbance.
