Written in 45 a. C., Cicero's De natura deorum is a treatise that deals with the question of the nature of the gods and their action in the world. In this work, the author represents a dialogue in which Roman followers of the three philosophical schools most influential in Rome (Epicureanism, Stoicism and Academic skepticism) confront each other. Cicero invites his addressee, Brutus, to examine the arguments for and against each of the theories presented, to reach the more probable conception of the gods. In the excerpt we translated, taken from the proem of the work, the author anticipates possible criticisms of the work he has been carrying out, which consists of expounding Greek philosophy in Latin, and then he defends not only his activity of writing philosophy, but also academic thought, to which he associate.
