Reviews
It is one of a trilogy—On the Nature of the Gods, On Divination, and On Fate—that critically examines the dogmatic views of ancient schools on the existence of gods, divine providence, and related matters from the skeptical perspective of the New Academy.
The material is quite difficult. It feels like reading a Platonic dialogue, yet also like attending a lecture. Anyone who studies it probably needs to think as rigorously and critically as Cicero.
