Skepticism and Everyday Life

According to Sextus Empiricus, the Pyrrhonian skeptics are supporters and champions of ordinary life. This claim is in many respects deeply problematics, as we are accustomed to think of life based on common sense beliefs as seriously challenged by skeptical arguments. I try to show that there is, however, a sense in which Pyrrhonian skepticism can be seen as a sort of a common sense philosophy, but not of the kind advocated by Th. Reid, G.E. Moore and others.
