Reviews
"[...] Machuca has put together an excellent collection of papers that will not only prove indispensable for scholars working on Pyrrhonism and ancient skepticism, but also serve as a source of insight and information for scholars working in ancient philosophy quite generally, as well as epistemology, ethics, philosophy of religion, and philosophy of mind." Clifford Roberts in BMCR 19.9.2012
"Ce recueil d'un grand intérêt tant historique que philosophique aborde des sujets nouveaux dans le champ des études sceptiques ou des thèmes classiques d'une manière fortement renouvelée." Brigitte Pérez in Revue philosophique de Louvain 1/2013
