Lorem Ipsum: the origin

In the last book Cicero relates a fictitious dialogue between him and several friends. He explains the eclecticism philosophy of Antiochus of Ascalon, a revival of Plato's teachings in the Old Academy. To him, the highest good is a perfectly happy life, both virtuous and regaled with physical, external goods. Finally, however, Cicero criticises the logical inconsistency of this teaching, the search for the best school thus remaining inconclusive.
