Whether or not things exist
#1
Whether or not things exist
Who are some philosophers that I should read who deal with the concept of existence? For instance, a philosopher who might state something like the following: reality is merely perceptions, or nothing can be proven to exist outside one's own perceptions.

Also, are there any philosophers that argue that nothing exists?

Thanks.
