E character of his exposition. Everything points to the conclusion that
this part of the dialogue was mainly drawn by Cicero from the writings
of Clitomachus. Catulus was followed by Hortensius, who in some way
spoke in favour of Antiochean opinions, but to what extent is
uncertain[256]. I think it extremely probable that he gave a resume of
the history of philosophy, corresponding to the speech of Varro in the
beginning of the _Academica Posteriora_. One main reason in favour of
this view is the difficulty of understanding to whom, if not to
Hortensius, the substance of the speech could have been assigned in the
first edition. In the _Academica Posteriora_ it was necessary to make
Varro speak first and not second as Hortensius did; this accounts for
the disappearance in the second edition of the polemical argument of
Hortensius[257], which would be appropriate only in the mouth of one who
was answering a speech already made. On the view I have taken, there
would be little difficulty in the fact that Hortensius now advocates a
dogmatic philosophy, though in the lost dialogue which bore his name he
had argued against philosophy altogether[258], and denied that
philosophy and wisdom were at all the same thing[259]. Such a historical
resume as I have supposed Hortensius to give would be within the reach
of any cultivated man of the time, and would only be put forward to show
that the New Academic revolt against the supposed old
Academico-Peripatetic school was unjustifiable. There is actual warrant
for stating that his exposition of Antiochus was merely
superficial[260]. We are thus relieved from the necessity of forcing the
meaning of the word _commoveris_[261], from which Krische infers that
the dialogue, entitled _Hortensius_, had ended in a conversion to
philosophy of the orator from whom it was named. To any such conversion
we have nowhere else any allusion. The relation in which Hortensius
stood to Cicero, also his character and attainments, are too well known
to need mention here. He seems to have been as nearly innocent of any
acquaintance with philosophy as it was possible for an educated man to
be. Cicero's mater
