Power and Persuasion in Cicero's Philosophy (Hardcover)

Extensively trained as a philosopher, Cicero was also a working
politician with a keen awareness of the distance between pure
intellectual endeavor and effective strategies of persuasion. This
volume explores a series of interrelated problems in his works,
from the use of emotion, self-correction, and even fiction in
intellectual inquiry, to the motives of political agents and the
morality of political arguments, to the means of justifying the use
of force in international relations. It features close readings of
works from all periods of Cicero's philosophical career, from the
threshold of Rome's civil war to the year following the
assassination of Julius Caesar. For a richer body of evidence, the
volume also makes use of material from Cicero's personal letters
and political speeches. Power and Persuasion in Cicero's Philosophy
will be essential reading not only in Roman philosophy but also for
the political and rhetorical culture of the Roman Republic.
