Skeptics defend that the belief in something does not necessarily justify an assertion of knowledge of it. In
this skeptics oppose foundationalism . The sceptic didn't believe in an objective truth, because for them
everything was subjective, it depended of the subjective and not of the object.
• The diversity and oppositions of the systems, as those of Democritus, Empedocles, Plato, etc. that they
believe abstractions and doubts.
• The influence in the foreign policy of facts as Great Alejandro's death and the diversity in the customs,
religions and institutions of the cities.
