CLITOMACHUS

This article appears in Volume V06, Page 531 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CLI-COM
CLITOMACHUS ,
Greek
  philosopher, was a Carthaginian originally named Hasdrubal, who came to Athens about the middle of the and
century
  B.C. at the age of twenty-four. He made himself well acquainted with Stoic and Peripatetic philosophy; but he studied principally under
Carneades
 , whose views he adopted, and whom he succeeded as
chief
  of the New
Academy
  in 129 B.C. He made it his business to spread the knowledge of the doctrines of
Carneades
 , who left nothing in writing himself. Clitomachus' works were some four hundred in number; but we possess scarcely anything but a few titles, among which are De sustinendis assensionib'us (IIEpI E1roXr/s " on suspension of judgment ") and Ilepi aipEOean, (an
account
  of various philosophical sects). In 146 he wrote a treatise to console his country-men after the ruin of their city, in which he insisted that a
wise
  man ought not to feel grieved at the destruction of his country. Cicero highly commends his works and admits his own debt in the Academics to the treatiseIlepi EIroxi3s. Parts of Cicero's De Nature and De Divinatione, and the treatise De Fato are also in the
main
  based upon Clitomachus.

Gruber
