Description
These five essays began a debate about the nature and scope of ancient scepticism which has transformed our understanding of what scepticism originally was. Together they provide a vigorous and highly stimulating introduction to the though of the original sceptics, and shed new light on its relation to sceptical arguments in modern philosophy.
Author Biography
Burnyeat and Frede
ReviewsThe Original Sceptics contains a wealth of analysis, argument and philological comment, and it undoubtedly succeeds in making the reader aware of the difficulties involved in discovering what the ancient sceptics really held. --F. C. White, Australasian Journal of Philosophy
