Abstract
This chapter critically evaluates one of the most provocative contemporary rationales for epistemic relativism, one which takes as a starting point the ancient Pyrrhonian problematic (Sankey 2010; 2011; 2013). It is shown though that an attempt to motivate epistemic relativism in this fashion falls flat despite its initial promise.
