Sextus Empericus then. I'm working on a new class of medical mathematics inspired by him,  posted a aspect if my Sine Wave creature on thus forum in response to Satyr somewhere recently,  here it is:



Of course,  I'm not restricting myself to him. Pyrrhonists were not theists or atheistic,  not able to assert a solid judgment either way. I'm not a big fan on how that line of thinking leads to Advaitian arguments on Non-Duality (in text area, see Astravakra Gita for a example), but are generally excellent in casting doubt on knowledge,  while remaining scientifically minded. They come damn close to bring Buddhist,  good arguments have been presented that they actually are a westernized fringe philosophy of Buddhism,  without any meditation,  gods,  or likewise trappings,  just the bare psychological arguments.

But we've also had a few thousand years of disputing that school too,  so I wouldn't recommend jumping onto the skeptic bandwagon in full faith (he he he)  just yet. I think you'll get alot out of Sextus Empericus though. Satyr can miscorrect all your correctly spelled terminology when you speak of them. I'll see if any of his works are public domain and online to add to the library here soon,  but I know Loeb Classical Library has excellent translations out,  given you collect books and magazines,  if you want it in actual print.
