Cicero’s Practical Philosophy

Back Cover

“This well-planned and exceptionally well-written collection of articles brings together leading Cicero scholars of our day on a carefully chosen set of topics. As such, this book is an invaluable account of the current state of Cicero studies, while also advancing those studies.” —GERARD WEGEMER, University of Dallas “Here is an impressive array of scholars addressing Cicero’s two major themes: the philosophy of politics and the politics of philosophy. Walter Nicgorski has made a fine collection of competent opinions expressed with useful and intelligent diversity.” —HARVEY C. MANSFIELD, Harvard University and Hoover Institution, Stanford University “A richly varied and well-orchestrated collection of studies that makes a major contribution to restoring Cicero to the high status as a political thinker that he deserves.” —THOMAS L. PANGLE, University of Texas at Austin 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.
