Cicero’s Practical Philosophy marks a revival over the last two
generations of serious scholarly interest in Cicero’s political
thought. Its nine original essays by a multidisciplinary group of
distinguished international scholars manifest close study of
Cicero’s philosophical writings and great appreciation for him as
a creative thinker, one from whom we can continue to learn. This
collection focuses initially on Cicero’s major work of political
theory, his De Re Publica, and the key moral virtues that shape his
ethics, but the contributors attend to all of Cicero’s primary
writings on political community, law, the ultimate good, and moral
duties. Room is also made for Cicero’s extensive writings on the
art of rhetoric, which he explicitly draws into the orbit of his
philosophical writings. Cicero’s concern with the divine, with
epistemological issues, and with competing analyses of the human
soul are among the matters necessarily encountered in pursuing,
with Cicero, the large questions of moral and political philosophy,
namely, what is the good and genuinely happy life and how are our
communities to be rightly ordered. The volume also reprints Walter
Nicgorski’s classic essay “Cicero and the Rebirth of Political
Philosophy,” which helped spark the current revival of interest
in Cicero the philosopher. Contributors: Walter Nicgorski, J. G. F.
Powell, Malcolm Schofield, Carlos Lévy, Catherine Tracy, Margaret
Graver, Harald Thorsrud, David Fott, Xavier Márquez, and J.
Jackson Barlow.
