Excerpt from Introduction and Notes to the Fifth Book of Cicero's Tusculan Disputations
If we were to specify narrowly the knowledge most indispensable to the student at the outset, it would be this: the ethical views of Aristotle, of the Old Academy, of the Stoics and of the Epicureans, of Carneades of the Middle Academy, of Antiochus of the New Academy, and of Cicero himself. See introduction; (and for Cicero), III. The eclectics.
