First published in 1881, as part of the Pitt Press Series, this
book presents a guide to classical philosophy aimed at
undergraduates and those studying the works of Cicero, Plato or
Aristotle. All quotations are in the original Greek and Latin. This
book will be of value to anyone with an interest in the history of
philosophy and perspectives on classical thought.
First published in 1901, as the second edition of an 1886 original,
this book provides a detailed analysis of English metrical systems.
The text presents an attempt 'to ascertain by a process of
induction the more general laws of modern metre, and to test the
results on a variety of instances'. Notes are incorporated
throughout and appendices are also included. This book will be of
value to anyone with an interest in English poetry and the nature
of metre.
First published between 1880 and 1885, Joseph B. Mayor's
three-volume edition of De Natura Deorum places Cicero's
speculative theological dialogue in the context of the arguments of
the Epicureans, the Stoics, the Academics, and their predecessors.
Equipped with a detailed commentary and a substantial introduction
to the history of Greek philosophy, it remains a clear presentation
of Cicero's complex philosophical project, an enquiry into the
nature of the divine and its relationship to modes of human
perception. Set within the home of the orator Caius Aurelius Cotta,
Cicero's Book 1 balances the arguments of the Epicurean Velleius
against the Academic Cotta as they debate whether the gods may in
any way resemble the human form. A demonstration above all of
Cicero's own intellectual rigour and sceptical wit, this volume
showcases his careful evaluation of the inheritance of Greek
natural philosophy within the Roman intellectual tradition.
First published between 1880 and 1885, Joseph B. Mayor's
three-volume edition of De Natura Deorum is remarkable for its
thorough commentary. This volume contains Cicero's Book 2, which
presents the Stoic argument for the existence of the gods and their
providential ordering of the universe. Set within the home of the
orator Caius Aurelius Cotta, it follows the Epicurean and Academic
arguments of Book 1. Here the Stoic Balbus defends his basic
premise that the majesty of creation - the harmony existing among
infinitely varied phenomena - can only derive from the wisdom of
divine reason. As the fullest expression of Stoic theology in De
Natura Deorum, this book provides crucial insight into the school's
views on cosmology, divine providence, and the role of deities in
representing the natural universe. It reveals Cicero's intellectual
range as he evaluates the major metaphysical debates dividing the
Roman philosophical schools.
First published between 1880 and 1885, Joseph B. Mayor's
three-volume edition of De Natura Deorum places Cicero's
speculative theological dialogue in the context of the arguments of
the Epicureans, the Stoics, the Academics, and their predecessors.
This volume presents Cicero's Book 3, which takes up questions of
Roman divination, worship, and mythology and ponders the
relationship of philosophy to superstition. Is it possible, as
Mayor asks, to 'unite reason and religion'? With this provocative
question at its heart, the last book of Cicero's theological debate
demonstrates its author's wit and imagination, as he evaluates not
just the divisions among the Roman philosophical schools but the
very grounds of divine existence. Containing a detailed textual
commentary, a collation of manuscripts, and a substantial
introduction to the three volumes as a whole, Mayor's book is still
valuable today as a clear presentation of Cicero's complex
philosophical project.
