The paper deals with the question whether the foundation of axiological[2] values is possible. In particular, I discuss two well-known arguments for axiological relativism. These arguments have been respectively produced by Sextus Empiricus [II-III century A.D.] and Blaise Pascal [1623-1662]. Both arguments are meant to demonstrate that the foundation of axiological values is impossible. I will hold that Sextus’ argument is tenable, while Pascal’s argument is not.

Abstract
The paper deals with the question whether the foundation of axiological[2] values is possible. In particular, I discuss two well-known arguments for axiological relativism. These arguments have been respectively produced by Sextus Empiricus [II-III century A.D.] and Blaise Pascal [1623-1662]. Both arguments are meant to demonstrate that the foundation of axiological values is impossible. I will hold that Sextus’ argument is tenable, while Pascal’s argument is not.File in questo prodotto:
