  2     Int,       I|              orator was now barred.10~We thus see that before Cicero
  3     Int,       I|        repeatedly insists; [viii] and we know from his letters that
  4     Int,       I|              period then, about which we have little or no information,
  5     Int,       I|             little or no information, we may believe that he kept
  6     Int,       I|             earlier part of this time we find him entreating Atticus
  7     Int,       I|           remain. A year or two later we find him reading with enthusiasm
  8     Int,       I|           philosopher was lasting, if we may judge from the affectionate
  9     Int,      II|             of an ethical standard71. We have in the Academica Cicero'
 10     Int,      II|     self-controlled character76. Here we have a touch of feeling
 11     Int,      II|              of the ethical standard, we must never forget that it
 12     Int,      II|               supremacy. In this fact we shall find a key to unlock
 13     Int,      II|           moral questions, therefore, we often find him going farther
 14     Int,     III|             it is only from them that we get any full or clear view
 15     Int,     III|         scarcely one of his works (if we except the third book of
 16     Int,     III|     excellence. For two centuries, if we omit Carneades, no one had
 17     Int,     III|              two earliest works which we possess, the Academica and
 18     Int,      IV|              other literary projects, we find no express mention
 19     Int,      IV|           this conjecture is correct, we have in the disputed passage
 20     Int,      IV|             in the letters of Cicero. We are quite certain that the
 21     Int,      IV|             the Academica to Rome165. We have a mention that new
 22     Int,      IV|             had shown more favour186. We find Cicero eagerly asking

 24     Int,      IV|          undecided199. From this fact we may conclude that Cicero
 25     Int,      IV|              called his Academia, but we are certain from the letters
 26     Int,      IV|              career of father and son we shall have little to do.
 27     Int,      IV|               two Catuli225.~[xlvii] ~We have seen that when Cicero
 28     Int,      IV|              s habit in such matters, we can have no difficulty in
 29     Int,      IV|       knowledge of philosophy. Before we proceed to construct in
 30     Int,      IV|            literature and philosophy. We are especially told that
 31     Int,      IV|               from the Academica that we learn definitely his philosophical
 32     Int,      IV|            was merely superficial260. We are thus relieved from the
 33     Int,      IV|                To any such conversion we have nowhere else any allusion.~
 34     Int,      IV|         carefully out of sight. Still we can catch here and there
 35     Int,      IV|             of Greek artists. Yet, as we have already seen, Cicero
 36     Int,      IV|               other persons with whom we have had to deal. He was

 38     Int,      IV|               here. The first mention we have of Varro in any of
 39     Int,      IV|            About the year 54 B.C., as we have already seen, Atticus

 49     Not,       1|        doctrine, appears very absurd. We may reflect, however, that

 51     Not,       1|             and false. I believe that we have a mixture here of Antiochus'
 52     Not,       1|              the Aristotelian ethics; we have here a Stoic view of
 53     Not,       1|           Arcesilas. The fact is that we have a mere theory, which
 54     Not,       1|             need not surprise us when we reflect (1) on the excessive
 55     Not,       1|            the general Stoic fatalism we are not told. Opinionisque

 61     Not,       2|              so after a certain point we must cease to fight against
 62     Not,       2|            crassis occultata, so that we have another alteration,
 63     Not,       2|                Contr. Ac. II. 14, 15, we have what appears to be
 64     Not,       2|            from which he was fleeing. We then must either maintain

 67     Not,       2|           always do remove them where we can (19). What power the
 68     Not,       2|               rise in complexity till we arrive at definitions and
 69     Not,       2| comprehensionem: full knowledge. Here we rise to a definition. This
 70     Not,       2|          respect to physical science, we might urge that nature has
 71     Not,       2|               31). Some sceptics say "we cannot help it." Others
 72     Not,       2|       pondering of the circumstances, we reply that a decision which
 73     Not,       2|          though not of sensations. If we could only pierce through
 74     Not,       2|             and arrive at its source, we should be able to tell whether
 75     Not,       2|              the sensation or not. As we cannot do this, it is wrong
 76     Not,       2|           also be known. In illa vera we have a pointed mocking repetition
 77     Not,       2|              true and the false (50). We contend that these phantom

 79     Not,       2|            before giving assent. When we have wakened from the dream,
 80     Not,       2|               wakened from the dream, we make light of the sensations
 81     Not,       2|               light of the sensations we had while in it (51). But,
 82     Not,       2|              as our waking ones. This we deny (52). "But," say they, "
 83     Not,       2|         πραγματα συγχεουσι). Utimur: "we have to put up with," so
 84     Not,       2|              without its consequence. We have an exact parallel in
 85     Not,       2|             hen had laid it (56, 57). We however, do not much care
 86     Not,       2|              do not much care whether we are able to distinguish
 87     Not,       2|            slip in. Eosdem: once more we have Lucullus' chronic and
 88     Not,       2|             omits non. The sense is, "we are quite content not to
 89     Not,       2|         distinguish between the eggs, we shall not on that account
 90     Not,       2|           deny that I make slips, but we must deal with the sapiens,
 91     Not,       2|        therefore needless. Fortasse: "we may suppose". Nec percipere,
 92     Not,       2|     circumscribed it is! But say you, we desire no more. No I answer,
 93     Not,       2|               art aids the senses. So we cannot see or hear without

 96     Not,       2|               Stoics and Antiocheans, we desire no better senses
 97     Not,       2|          desire no better senses than we have." Well you are like
 98     Not,       2|              μενος. From Diog. IV. 62 we learn that he thus parodied

100     Not,       2|           Interrogati: cf. 104. In 94 we have interroganti, which
101     Not,       2|              difficulty vanishes when we reflect that approbare and
102     Not,       2|            true and false, is absurd. We do not deny that the difference
103     Not,       2|           that the difference exists; we do deny that human faculties
