Lucullus
The earlier, pre-skeptical Academic tradition that Antiochus claimed to revive in name while abandoning its skeptical substance.
He seems, while departing from the thing itself, to have wished to retain the dignity of the name.
And so he says that those greatly err who say that the senses are taken away by the Academy, by whom it was never said that either colour or taste or sound is nothing;
To pass over other things, of these two matters at issue, who ever said, either of the Old Academy or of the Peripatetics, either that that alone could be perceived which was a truth of such a kind as a falsehood could not be, or that the wise man holds no opinion?
Academica
The philosophical school descending from Plato through Speusippus and Xenocrates, holding a unified doctrine with the Peripatetics.
and among these was philosophy itself.
for there was no difference between the Peripatetics and that Old Academy.
and these are those three kinds which most people think the Peripatetics speak of.
