#Schopenhauer saying that #Kant derives from #Locke, presumably from the focus on the senses. Does anyone know offhand whether #Locke read #SextusEmpiricus? I'm gonna need to read #Popkin aren't I #philosophy @philosophy

A reminder that if anyone says "Suppose that..." or "Imagine for a moment..." or "Let's do a thought experiment..." you can just say NO!

Is anyone aware of earlier FAQ-style documents? #SextusEmpiricus, Outlines of Scepticism, ~190 AD. This is a phenomenal book btw.

Anyone have a view on Richard Bett vs Christopher Beckwith? They seem to have some tension (reading Beckwith's Greek Buddha and Bett's Cambridge Guide to Ancient Scepticism)
