sextus empiricus 'outlines of skepticism' and 'against the logicians'

maybe plato's meno and theaetetus

descartes, 'meditations on first philosophy'

barry stroud, 'the significance of philosophical skepticism'

peter unger, 'ignorance'

those will get you started

heres a nice little article http://www.josephwaligore.com/greek-philosophy/indian-influence-on-hellenistic-philosophy/

theres also a book called pyrrhonism. it has a readable exposition of it. it also has a good bibliography even though it mixes with buddhism, idk if youre interested in that.

then just jump into sextus and from there theres a good deal of secondary lit available on libgen.

>> No.6352796
