====== Antisthenes of Athens | Cicero, De Natura Deorum i.13 ======


<blockquote>**Antisthenes** also, in his 
book entitled //The Natural Philosopher//, says that while 
there are many gods of popular belief, there is one 
god in nature, so depriving divinity of all meaning 
or substance. Very similarly Speusippus, following 
his uncle Plato, and speaking of a certain force that 
governs all things and is endowed with life, does his 
best to root out the notion of deity from our minds altogether.
