"The Mode of circular reasoning is the form……" — Sextus Empiricus

"The Mode of circular reasoning is the form used when the proof itself which ought to establish the matter of inquiry requires confirmation derived from the matter; in this case, being unable to assume either in order to establish the other, we suspend judgement about both."

— Sextus Empiricus
