Rendition Supposing Books Tusculan Disputations
Cicero (Marcus Tullius, 10643 BCE), Roman lawyer, orator, politician and philosopher, of whom we know more than of any other Roman, lived through the stirring era which saw the rise, dictatorship, and death of Julius Caesar in a tottering republic. In his political speeches especially and in his correspondence we see the excitement, tension and intrigue of politics and the part he played in the turmoil of the time. Of about 106 speeches, delivered before the Roman people or the Senate if they were political, before jurors if judicial, 58 survive (a few of them incompletely). In the fourteenth century Petrarch and other Italian humanists discovered manuscripts containing more than 900 letters of which more than 800 were written by Cicero and nearly 100 by others to him. These afford a revelation of the man all the more striking because most were not written for publication. Six rhetorical works survive and another in fragments. Philosophical works include seven extant major compositions and a number of others; and some lost. There is also poetry, some original, some as translations from the Greek.The Loeb Classical Library edition of Cicero is in twenty-nine volumes.

Marcus Tullius Cicero, Roman philosopher, statesman, lawyer, political theorist, and Roman constitutionalist. Cicero is widely considered one of Rome's greatest orators and prose stylists.Alternate profiles:Marco Tulio CicerónCicéronCicerónCiceronCiceroNote: All editions should have Marcus Tullius Cicero as primary author. Editions with another name on the cover should have that name added asDont our friends the philosophers put their names on the very books they write condemning the quest for fame?Not my favorite work of his but still much better than anything modern philosophers bring to the table.
De Oratore Book I-II by Cicero (1988)
It seems sadly fitting that I would only get to reading this classic of Stoic philosophy in the immediate aftermath of the APA declaring stoic behavior a psychological problem. This book is outstanding, and those who wish to preserve the intellectual fight against postmodernity could do much worse than picking up Cicero. Do I agree with everything Cicero writes? No. I find the same problem I had during my agnostic days: why is it better to be the tyrant's victim rather than the tyrant if we are
Best book ever written (outside of the scriputres)!
Great read and especially the portion on the gods. It can be said with confidence nothing is new under the sun.
Underhållande filosofisk dialog, men Ciceros syn på smärta kunde jag varit utan.
