Cicero's philosophical works introduced Latin audiences to the
ideas of the Stoics, Epicureans and other schools and figures of
the post-Aristotelian period, thus influencing the transmission of
those ideas through later history. While Cicero's value as
documentary evidence for the Hellenistic schools is unquestioned,
Cicero: The Philosophy of a Roman Sceptic explores his writings as
works of philosophy that do more than simply synthesize the thought
of others, but instead offer a unique viewpoint of their own. In
this volume Raphael Woolf describes and evaluates Cicero's
philosophical achievements, paying particular attention to his
relation to those philosophers he draws upon in his works, his
Romanizing of Greek philosophy, and his own sceptical and
dialectical outlook. The volume aims, using the best tools of
philosophical, philological and historical analysis, to do Cicero
justice as a distinctive philosophical voice. Situating Cicero's
work in its historical and political context, this volume provides
a detailed analysis of the thought of one of the finest orators and
writers of the Roman period. Written in an accessible and engaging
style, Cicero: The Philosophy of a Roman Sceptic is a key resource
for those interested in Cicero's role in shaping Classical
philosophy.
