The skeptic is not only someone who motivates the suspension of judgment [epokhé], but also someone that accepts what is apparent [phainómenon] and makes it their criterion for action. In this sense, the concept of phainómenon is also central in ancient Pyrrhonism; its definition, however, is closely linked to the idea of appearance [phantasía], and this could cause confusion between the terms. The phantasía or the appearence of something refers to a subjective event, something that occurs in the person’s mind; the phainómenon or the very thing that appears is an objective event and is independent of any subject. Therefore, it is necessary to delimitate in a precise way the lines of each one of these concepts inside Pyrrhonian skepticism. This article intends mainly to throw some light on these two concepts, phainómenon and phantasía, and to try to make a clarification in regards to their distinctions and resemblances. For this purpose, we will take as the main reference the book Outlines of skepticism of Sextus Empíricus.
