This volume is the first detailed commentary on this set of texts since Reid''s, published in 1885. It takes full account of the scholarly debate to date and seeks to elucidate the dialogues and fragmentary remains from a philosophical, historical, literary, and linguistic point of view.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile there is no direct course through the Academica, no Cynosura to guide readers out at sea, Reinhardt is the expert and charitable guide we have long needed for the winding path by the Septemtriones. * Bryn Mawr Classical Review *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction Translations Letters Ac. 1 Fragments Luc.
