The Academics are one of the most important works that ancient philosophy has left us. Although these Ciceronian dialogues have come down to us in two versions, both incomplete and nevertheless complementary, they constitute an irreplaceable source for our knowledge of the Platonic and Hellenistic schools, the practice of radical doubt, and Roman philosophy. This edition is the first to take into account the entire rich manuscript tradition and to offer, in a copious commentary, a holistic approach, leaving no aspect untouched, whether linguistic, historical, or archaeological. A significant place is given to its reception, since from Saint Augustine to Nietzsche, by way of Montaigne, it was a unique source of reflection for all those who wanted to define the possibilities and limits of knowledge.
