 10  III, 2 |        emptiness and falsehood of philosophy also, that, all error being
 11  III, 2 |           from the common name of philosophy, that when the head itself
 12  III, 2 |    palpitate rather than to live. Philosophy is (as the name indicates,
 13  III, 2 |            then, can I prove that philosophy is not wisdom, rather than
 14  III, 2 |      after wisdom. If, therefore, philosophy searches after wisdom, it
 15  III, 2 |           who apply themselves to philosophy do not devote themselves
 16  III, 3 |             III. OF WHAT SUBJECTS PHILOSOPHY CONSISTS, AND WHO WAS THE
 17  III, 3 |     FOUNDER OF THE ACADEMIC SECT.~Philosophy appears to consist of two
 18  III, 3 |          remains that there is in philosophy conjecture only; for that
 19  III, 4 |      conjectured, as Zeno taught, philosophy is entirely removed. Why
 20  III, 4 |            who were the chiefs of philosophy, but by all, so that it
 21  III, 4 |        destroyed by its own arms? Philosophy has been divided into many
 22  III, 4 |          vain and empty; and thus philosophy consumes and destroys itself.
 23  III, 4 |         Thus he established a new philosophy of not philosophizing. From
 24  III, 4 |          began to be two kinds of philosophy: one the old one, which
 25  III, 4 |        Between these two kinds of philosophy I see that there is disagreement,
 26  III, 4 |      shall be equal, nevertheless philosophy, the guide of all, will
 27  III, 6 |        THE ACADEMICS, AND NATURAL PHILOSOPHY.~Does wisdom therefore nowhere
 28  III, 6 |        might altogether overthrow philosophy on the authority of Socrates,
 29  III, 6 |           old age, as it were, of philosophy, which might despatch it
 30  III, 6 |       truth, introduced a kind of philosophy which we may call unstable
 31  III, 6 |          as the Academics taught, philosophy is altogether extinguished.~
 32  III, 7 |                     VII. OF MORAL PHILOSOPHY, AND THE CHIEF GOOD.~Let
 33  III, 7 |         pass to the other part of philosophy, which they themselves call
 34  III, 7 |        the method of the whole of philosophy, since in natural philosophy
 35  III, 7 |      philosophy, since in natural philosophy there is only delight, in
 36  III, 7 |          the same sentiments, and philosophy itself must give instructions
 37  III, 7 |           better, it follows that philosophy is not necessary for us;
 38  III, 12|         worship of the gods or in philosophy; and on this account they
 39  III, 13|          THE SOUL, AND OF WISDOM, PHILOSOPHY, AND ELOQUENCE.~The subject
 40  III, 13|        remains that third part of philosophy, which they call Logic,
 41  III, 13|         if that system of natural philosophy before mentioned is not
 42  III, 13|           that the whole force of philosophy is contained in the ethical
 43  III, 13|         are born; it appears that philosophy is altogether false and
 44  III, 13|         in error who imagine that philosophy is wisdom; let them not
 45  III, 13|        Offices," he had said that philosophy is nothing else than the
 46  III, 13|        that study which is called philosophy; and in the next place,
 47  III, 13|       could be given to show that philosophy was not the instructress
 48  III, 13|       this, turning his speech to philosophy, as though he was showing
 49  III, 13| declamatory style of speaking. "O philosophy, thou guide of life," he
 50  III, 14|           in a bag, who deny that philosophy is the parent of life? Or
 51  III, 14|         in truth, to the study of philosophy, and so, indeed, that no
 52  III, 14|           with all the systems of philosophy, as you yourself are accustomed
 53  III, 14|          which may be gained from philosophy for life. These are your
 54  III, 14|        discerned." If, therefore, philosophy is the teacher of life,
 55  III, 14|        you confessed the truth of philosophy we learn from the letters
 56  III, 14|          him that the precepts of philosophy ought to be known, but that
 57  III, 14| contradictory? If the precepts of philosophy ought to be known, it is
 58  III, 14|      members of a community, then philosophy is not wisdom, if it is
 59  III, 14| accordance with society than with philosophy. For if that which is called
 60  III, 14|           if that which is called philosophy be wisdom, he assuredly
 61  III, 14|        does not live according to philosophy. But if he does not live
 62  III, 14|         he who lives according to philosophy lives foolishly. By your
 63  III, 14|          own judgment, therefore, philosophy is condemned of folly and
 64  III, 14|         this sentiment respecting philosophy: "But I know not what error
 65  III, 14|          then, is the guidance of philosophy? or what has that parent
 66  III, 14|          yourself the truth, that philosophy which, though it teaches
 67  III, 15|            THE ERROR OF SENECA IN PHILOSOPHY, AND HOW THE SPEECH OF PHILOSOPHERS
 68  III, 15|         in error?), Seneca said: "Philosophy is nothing else than the
 69  III, 15|      shall not err in saying that philosophy is the law of living well
 70  III, 15|       refer to the common name of philosophy; for, since this is diffused
 71  III, 15|           can be so false as that philosophy should be called the rule
 72  III, 15|        thinks that the Academy is philosophy or not? I do not think that
 73  III, 15|   therefore, is in agreement with philosophy; which renders all things
 74  III, 15|           one of its kind. But if philosophy were able to form the life,
 75  III, 15|           am I from thinking that philosophy is the teacher of life and
 76  III, 15|         and that grave teacher of philosophy defended this fault by saying,
 77  III, 16|         OURSELVES TO THE STUDY OF PHILOSOPHY AS TO WISDOM.~But when they
 78  III, 16|     preference, above teachers of philosophy, to those men employed in
 79  III, 16|       they invented the system of philosophy itself, for the purpose
 80  III, 16|   enjoyment, which they seek from philosophy. And this Cicero indeed
 81  III, 16|        with their laws. Therefore philosophy must altogether be laid
 82  III, 16|        Cicero, contending against philosophy, is pressed by a clever
 83  III, 16|       this calumny, who take away philosophy, because it is the invention
 84  III, 16|        all. He, when he took away philosophy without introducing anything
 85  III, 16|         great weight also against philosophy,--namely, that it may be
 86  III, 16|        understood from this, that philosophy is not wisdom, since its
 87  III, 16|          the beginning: therefore philosophy, inasmuch as it has not
 88  III, 16|          of wisdom, they invented philosophy; that is, they wished by
 89  III, 17|              XVII. HE PASSES FROM PHILOSOPHY TO THE PHILOSOPHERS, BEGINNING
 90  III, 17|          spoken on the subject of philosophy itself as briefly as I could;
 91  III, 20|    SOCRATES HAD MORE KNOWLEDGE IN PHILOSOPHY THAN OTHER MEN, ALTHOUGH
 92  III, 21|         entirely rejected natural philosophy, betook himself to inquiries
 93  III, 24|          that they either discuss philosophy for the sake of a jest,
 94  III, 25|                  XXV. OF LEARNING PHILOSOPHY, AND WHAT GREAT QUALIFICATIONS
 95  III, 25|           a few things concerning philosophy in general, that having
 96  III, 25|          our writers thought that philosophy was not for the multitude,
 97  III, 25|          men could attain to it. "Philosophy," says Cicero, "is contented
 98  III, 25|         very strong argument that philosophy neither tends to wisdom,
 99  III, 25|     perceived this, who said that philosophy was to be studied both by
100  III, 25|      unacquainted with letters to philosophy; and Plato also, who wished
101  III, 25|   necessary for an application to philosophy. Common learning must be
102  III, 25|         have some connection with philosophy; and the whole of these
103  III, 25|           account Tully says that philosophy is averse from the multitude.
104  III, 25|         taught any women to study philosophy, except Themiste only, within
105  III, 25|       never would have dreamed of philosophy had he not previously learned
106  III, 26|       their lives in the study of philosophy, they are neither able to
107  III, 28|      FORTUNE IS A GODDESS, AND OF PHILOSOPHY.~Wherefore there is nothing
108  III, 28|           since they thought that philosophy was perfected by their talents;
109  III, 28|         made in a few years, that philosophy would be complete in a short
110  III, 28|     manner, when, or by whom, was philosophy completed? For that which
111  III, 28|         foolish in supposing that philosophy was made perfect by their
112  III, 29|       precepts of life drawn from philosophy, says, "Who can be ignorant
113  III, 30|      having proved the systems of philosophy to be false, we must now
114   IV, 1 |      before the discovery of this philosophy, as it is termed, there
115   IV, 3 |    righteousness and virtue. Thus philosophy, inasmuch as it does not
116   IV, 3 |        therefore, as I have said, philosophy and the religious system
117   IV, 3 |        true religion. Therefore I philosophy was not able to conceive
118   IV, 3 |            and when this happens, philosophy is not, however, joined
119   IV, 3 |         joined with religion; but philosophy will both be unemployed
120   IV, 3 |           will be unemployed when philosophy shall be treated of. For
121    V, 2 |        himself the high priest of philosophy; but he was so addicted
122    V, 2 | undertaken this office, worthy of philosophy, that he might hold out
123    V, 4 |       will quickly disappear, and philosophy altogether fall, if all
124    V, 5 |         the origin of the name of philosophy. These clearly understood
125    V, 10|      ascribed to fortune, and the philosophy of Epicurus finds a place
126    V, 20|       they have any confidence in philosophy or in eloquence, let them
127   VI, 2 |      Hortensius, while he prefers philosophy to all things, says that
128   VI, 2 |     nothing in the whole range of philosophy is better and more profitable
129   VI, 3 |        that is, if he shall learn philosophy or eloquence, or some honourable
130   VI, 4 |        seek for wisdom, he dashes philosophy before their eyes, that
131   VI, 14|      bring forward one subject of philosophy, that we may more fully
132   VI, 17|       says, in his books of moral philosophy: "This is that virtuous

134  VII, 7 |           For we do not overthrow philosophy, as the Academics are accustomed
135  VII, 7 |         contentions of theirs, no philosophy existed which made a nearer
136  VII, 12|  stage-player than of a school of philosophy, ought not even to have
137  VII, 26|     objects, or maintain an empty philosophy, deride as folly and vanity,
