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.
The edition is based on a thorough examination of all available manuscripts, including those that have only recently come to light. It includes a new translation of the text, which is based on the most recent scholarship and aims to provide a clear and accessible version for students and scholars alike.
The accompanying commentary volume provides a comprehensive analysis of the text, its historical context, and its significance for the study of ancient philosophy. It includes discussions of the key themes and arguments of the text, as well as a detailed examination of the manuscript tradition and the scholarly debate surrounding the text.
This edition is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the development of Academic scepticism, the re-emergence of dogmatic Platonic philosophy, or the history of ancient philosophy in general. It will be of interest to students and scholars of ancient philosophy, classics, and history.
