Art/Literary - Philosophy / scepticism | | Spanish term or phrase: lo que (le) aparece | Es falso decir que los escépticos se oponen a todo, más bien a lo que no está claro; el escéptico actúa y sigue lo que le aparece: es más, nuestro práttein sólo es posible en "lo que aparece". El sabio advierte la indeterminación de las cosas, la imposibilidad de juzgar, y la imprudencia de quien se inclina por algo a través de la razón o de los sentidos; por tanto, se queda en la ataraxía
how would people render this, given that it should maintain more or less the same structure in English in both instances.
thanks

| acts following what and as it appears to him/her.
Explanation:
It´s just another formulation. I basically agree with Ruth's and Jane's, but I opt for keeping the verb appearing, which is quite important in philosophy, especially in your text (I guess).
