The Philosophy of Clitomachus | Stoic, Academic, Skeptic

Clitomachus or Cleitomachus (187/6–110/9 BC) was a Greek philosopher, originally from Carthage, who came to Athens in 163/2 BC and studied philosophy under Carneades. He became head of the Academy around 127/6 BC.

He was an Academic skeptic like his master. Nothing survives of his writings, which were dedicated to making known the views of Carneades, but Cicero made use of them for some of his works.

This audiobook relays the life, and philosophy of Clitomachus as detailed by the famous biographer and philosopher Diogenes Laertius.
