Paragraph: subjunctive, etc.
"A Pyrrhonist’s adoption of a philanthropic outlook seems to be accidental, since it appears to be solely the consequence of his living in a given society and of his belonging to a certain medical and philosophical milieu. If a Pyrrhonist happened to grow up [or: were to grow up?] in an individualistic society or be raised in a way that sought to make him regard [or: that influenced him to regard?] philanthropy as a naïve and impractical attitude, he would probably adopt an individualistic outlook."
