Pyrrhonian Inquiry

I recently got a copy of Marta Anna Włodarczyk's Pyrrhonian Inquiry (The Cambridge Philological  Society, Suppl. Vol. 25, 2000). I haven't read it yet, but I'm sure it will be of interest to those working on the question whether the Pyrrhonist does, or can, claim to search for truth.

Skepticism in Antiquity and the Renaissance

Michelle Zerba (Louisiana) recently published Doubt and Skepticism in Antiquity and the Renaissance (CUP, 2012). More information can be found here. It doesn't seem to be a philosophy book in the proper sense of the word. (Thanks to Roger Eichorn for reminding me of this book.)
