ARGUMENTUM.
In huius libri exordio Cicero, conversa rursus ad Brutum oratione, quoniam voluptas superiore libro satis confutata sit, acriorem paratam esse ait cum Stoicis contentionem; atque eorum disserendi genus cum ipsum subtile sit vel potius spinosum, turn multo difficilius esse Latine loquentibus, quibus etiam nova verba parienda et nova rebus novis nomina imponenda sint. Nee hoc mirandum esse, quoniam, si aliae etiam artes suis et propriis utantur verbis, multo id magis philosophiae concedendum sit; et, si Graecis philosophis lictierit de rebus non pervagatis verbis quoque inusitatis uti, magis in Latina lingva hoc licere debere; atque etiam elaborandum esse, ut in ipsis Graecorum artibus Latinorum verboruni copia Graecae respondeat (c. 1–2). Deinde Cicero exponit, sermonem sibi aliquando de Stoicorum de summo bono sententia inddisse cum M. Catone in villa Tusculana Luculli (c.2–3). cum Cato minus sibi probari significasset, quod Cicero non ad Stoicos, sed ad Academicos et Peripateticos se inclinavisset, Cicero autem inter hos et Stoicos verborum, non rerum certamen esse dixisset, et Stoicos, si verborum splendorem re persequi veUent, in Pyrrhonis et Anstonis vitia inddere, ut rerum seleetionem et ipsam virtutem tollerent, Catonem, ut Ciceronem non rede iudicare ostenderet, totam Zenonis Stoicormnque sententiam explicare aggressum esse (c. 3–4).
