ARGUMENTUM.
In prooemio libri Cicero narrat, cum ipse et Q. frater et M. Pupius Piso et T. Pomponius Atticus et L. Cicero, frater ipsius patruelis, Athenis Antiochum audivissent et ambulationem postmeridianam in Academia conficerent, sermone ducto primum a commemoranda vi locorum ad clarorum virorum memoriam in animis renovandam, mentionem incidisse veteris et recentioris Academicorum disciplinae, cum Piso L. Ciceronem ad veterem, in qua etiam Peripatetici essent, persequendam hortaretur. Tum rogatum a se Pisonem, ut veteris Academiae et Peripateticorum sententiam de finibus bonorum explicaret, huiusmodi orationem esse exorsum(c. 1 – 3): Peripateticorum disciplina in tres partes, ut fere ceterae, dividitur, physicam, dialecticam, ethicam. Haec tertia pars ab illis non solum ad privatae vitae rationem, sed etiam ad rerum publicarum rectionem relata est et ab Aristotele et Theophrasto copiose explicata (c. 4). Hi de fine bonorum in ipsa summa sine ulla varietate inter se consentiunt; sed sitne beata vita tota sita in potestate sapientis, in eo variari inter eos nonnumquam videtur, mazime propter Theophrasti librum de beata vita, in quo multum fortunae datur. Itaque tenendus est maxime ipse Aristoteks et eius filii Nicomachi libri de maribus, adhibendus tamen Theophrastus; nam ceteri aliquantum deflexerunt.
