Cicero: Academica (Academicus Primus, Fragmenta et Testimonia Academicorum Librorum, Lucullus), Hardback Book

Cicero: Academica (Academicus Primus, Fragmenta et Testimonia Academicorum Librorum, Lucullus) Hardback

Edited by Tobias (University of Oxford) Reinhardt

Part of the Oxford Classical Texts series

Hardback

Description

This is the first new critical edition of this text since 1908, and the first to appear in the Oxford Classical Texts series.

The edition is informed by a comprehensive analysis of the entire tradition of Lucullus and Academicus Primus, and by a thorough rethinking of the text documented in the accompanying commentary volume. Lucullus and Academicus Primus are a key body of evidence for the development of Academic scepticism, one of the two varieties of scepticism in antiquity.

The texts also shed light on the re-emergence of dogmatic Platonic philosophy in the first century BC.
