Epoché played an interesting role in Pyrrhonism, the skeptical philosophy of Pyrrho. On the basis of claiming that we do not know anything, Pyrrho argued that the preferred attitude to be adopted is Epoché, i.e., the suspension of judgment or the withholding of assent.
Pyrrhonism asserted that suspension of judgment (epoché, a Greek term which refers to a cessation) about the true nature of reality leads to serenity and equanimity (ataraxia) about what constitutes truth or falsehood.
