I would, though, recommend the relevant sections of Montaigne's <i>Apology for Raymond Sebond</i>, which is as much of a link as exists between the ancient and modern forms of skepticism.

Your comment gave me a much-needed nudge. I'm looking at the plato.stanford.edu right now... My primary reference for this sort of argument is usually Plato's Socrates, especially in the <i>Apology</i>, and my orientation is more generally Pragmatist. I'm a little more familiar with the Stoics than Skeptics. Most of the books I've read that cover it cover everything from Thales to the Sophists, etc. What books would you recommend specifically on Skepticism?

You position the concept differently in regard to thinking—as the beginning, not the end—but there is some resemblance.
