Abstract

The paper offers a Russian translation of the portion of the “History of the philosophers” by Philodemus, available in two Herculaneum papyri (PHerc. 1021 and PHerc. 164), which deals with the history of the New (Skeptical) Academy (col. XVII–XXXVI, and some supplements). This important source, translated and commented in the article, helps to understand the history of the so-called New (Skeptical) Academy of Arcesilaus of Pythane, Lacydes, Carneades, Clitomachus and Philo of Larissa, and concludes with an important biography of Antiochus of Ascalon (268 to 84 BCE).
