The statesman Cicero (106-43 BC) left behind a corpus of about 50
orations, all designed as interventions in the legal and political
struggles that marked the final decades of the Roman republic. Ever
since their publication during his lifetime they have functioned as
models of eloquence. However, they also contain profound
philosophical thoughts on the question of being human, on politics,
society, and culture, and on the sphere of the divine. Now, for the
first time, Ingo Gildenhard systematically analyses this dimension
of Cicero's oratory and, in so doing, touches upon many key issues
and concepts that still preoccupy us today, such as the ethics of
happiness or the notion of conscience, the distinction between
civilization and barbarity, or the problem of divine justice.
