 What connections can be drawn between this portrait of Pyrrho’s demeanor and the philosophy expounded in the Aristocles passage? What we have here, plainly, is a fuller specification of the ataraxia that the Aristocles passage promised as the outcome of the process of responding in the recommended way to the three questions. (And it confirms that, even if the process of reaching ataraxia, as explained in the Aristocles passage, was largely Timon’s rather than Pyrrho’s, the ideal of ataraxia itself was one to which Pyrrho adhered.) But why should thinking as Pyrrho did, according to that passage, yield ataraxia, and why should this outcome take the specific form suggested by the material discussed in this section?  Now is a convenient point to address these questions (as we did not do in initially examining the Aristocles passage). We may distinguish the overall emotional tranquility depicted in the biographical material and the particular tranquility, derived from the avoidance of theoretical inquiry, that is emphasized in the fragments of Timon.
