N1 - Commentaries to treatises of Aristotle written by Alexandrian Neoplatonists of the 5-6th centuries CE contain a series of testimonies on ancient Scepticism. These testimonies provide a view on Pyrrhonism that is much narrower than that of Sextus Empiricus and even Diogenes Laërtius. However, the structure of Neoplatonicevidence and the set of propositions under criticism allow making some meaningful conclusions. Firstly, Alexandrian commentators have a clear motivation to acquit Plato from charges of Scepticism known since Middle Platonists. Secondly, Neoplatonic criticism objects to just some conceptions of Sceptics, which touch upon certain epistemological problems. The most important among them is the dualism of material objects and the rational soul of a human. Since Sceptics support a dualist metaphysics in a way quite similar to that of the Platonists, Alexandrians take effort to reveal the difference between the Sceptical and Platonist versions of dualism. At the level of universal truths, their argumentation is sound and doubtless, but the possibility of knowing particular material objects becomes a noticeable obstacle. As a possible solution, the authors suggest a comparison with theurgic symbolism of Athenian Neoplatonists who developed a coherent doctrine of divine knowledge of material objects which can be easily extended to a human rational soul as well. The juxtaposition of Scepticism with Alexandrian and Athenian branches of Neoplatonism renders a contrasting picture of Greek intellectual tradition in the 4-6th centuries CE.
