Abstract
The victory claimed for the Pyrrhonian at the end of Part VIII paves the way for the confusion and controversy among commentators regarding a correct reading of Part XII, the last section of the Dialogues, in which Philo appears to reverse himself and make certain positive assertions about God. In this chapter, I will show that Part XII connects to the first eight sections of the Dialogues in the manner outlined at the start of this book.
