Description: [L'Année philologique] [Comment] Augustine's « Contra Academicos » is opposed to the sort of « Epicurean » skepticism described by Cicero in the « De natura deorum » (1, 25, 69-1, 26, 74), and the account of it is far from the radical Pyrrhonian skepticism that many take to be the purest, most defensible sort of skepticism. Drawing upon his theory of illumination, Augustine provides the grounds for certainty for all human knowledge.
