Philo Of Larissa
In this study of Philo (159-84 BC), the principal philosophical teacher of Cicero, Charles Brittain reconstructs the Platonic Academy's gradual rejection of scepticism under Philo's leadership, which prepared the way for the revival of Platonism in the first century AD. The Appendix contains a collection of the testimonia and 'fragments' of Philo.
