NOTES.
A. Intropuction. I. 1—vir. 17.
a. Dedication to Brutus. The importance and difficulty of the subject ; variety of opinions ; some asserting the existence of the gods, some doubting, some denying it. Those who believe in their existence differ as to their nature ; the Epicureans denying that they pay any regard to human affairs, the Stoics affirming that the universe is ordered by them for the good of man, while the Academy holds that man has no right to dogmatise, and confines itself to the criticism of the other schools. §§ 1—5.
Cum sint—tum est. Heindorf with some of the less important mss reads sunt, ‘sermons legi convenienter’; but both constructions are allow- able, see Madv. Fin. 1 19, Roby Gr. §§ 1734, 1735. The Ind. which is found in the very similar passage Divin. 1 7 cum omnibus in rebus temeri- tas turpis est, tum in eo loco maxime which concerns religion, is more naturally used in comparing particular cases (‘as—so’ ‘both—and_’) ; the Subj. views the particular case in relation to the general principle, as in Of. 111 5 cum tota philosophia frugifera sit, tum nullus feracior in ea locus est quam de officiis, and Lael. 23 with Seyffert’s note. Translate, ‘while there are many questions in philosophy which are far from having been fully cleared up, there is one of special difficulty, I mean the inquiry into the nature of the gods’. [‘I think that in nearly all the passages where cum—tum is used by C..there is a contrast between a general statement and a particular case, whether the clause with cwm contains an Ind. ora Subj. If the cwm clause introduces a fact viewed as a concession made by the speaker, then the Subj. is necessary; otherwise not’. J. 8S. R.]
ad agnitionem animi pulcherrima: ‘ennobling as regards our recog- nition of the soul’s nature’. For construction cf. 1 98 ad figuram quae vastior ? 11 87 ad speciem pulchriores, 155 nulla species ad rationem praestan- tior. The thought is that expressed by Minucius Felix 17 nisi divinitatis rationem diligenter excusseris, nescias humanitatis, and by C. himself in the Tusculans, written a few months before the W. D. animus divinus est...si deus aut anima aut ignis est, idem est animus hominis 165; ut deum agnoscis ex
