Philosophy after Caesar: The New Direction -- Bibliography -- Index Locorum -- General IndexIn the 40s BCE, during his forced retirement from politics under Caesar's dictatorship, Cicero turned to philosophy, producing a massive and important body of work. As he was acutely aware, this was an unusual undertaking for a Roman statesman because Romans were often hostile to philosophy, perceiving it as foreign and incompatible with fulfilling one's duty as a citizen. How, then, are we to understand Cicero's decision to pursue philosophy in the context of the political, intellectual, and cultural life of the late Roman republic? In A Written Republic, Yelena Baraz takes up this question and makes the case that philosophy for Cicero was not a retreat from politics but a continuation of politics by other means, an alternative way of living a political life and serving the state under newly restricted conditions. Baraz examines the rhetorical battle that Cicero stages in his philosophical prefaces--a battle between the forces that would oppose or support his project. He presents his philosophy as intimately connected to the new political circumstances and his exclusion from politics. His goal--to benefit the state by providing new moral resources for the Roman elite--was traditional, even if his method of translating Greek philosophical knowledge into Latin and combining Greek sources with Roman heritage was unorthodox. A Written Republic provides a new perspective on Cicero's conception of his philosophical project while also adding to the broader picture of late-Roman political, intellectual, and cultural life.Philosophy, AncientRomePolitics and government265-30 B.CElectronic books.Academic Skepticism.Bellum Catilinae.Bellum Iugurthinum.Cato the Younger.Cicero.De Divinatione.De Finibus.De Natura Deorum.De Officiis.De Senectute.Ennius.Julius Caesar.Marcus the Younger.Paradoxa Stoicorum.Quintus Cicero.Rhetorica ad Herennium.Roman elite.Sallust.Topica.Tullia.Tusculan Disputations.action.amicitia.character.civil war.cultural life.dedicatees.dictatorship.intellectual activity.intellectual life.late Roman republic.letters.mos maiorum.negotium.oratory.otium.patriotism.philosophical writings.philosophy.political life.politics.prefaces.public life.readers.rhetoric.translation.treatises.volumen prohoemiorum.Philosophy, Ancient.320.1Baraz Yelena1975-480293MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910461726203321A written republic2456049UNINA04352nam 2201369z- 450 991055758720332120231220160337.0(CKB)5400000000043776(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/77162(EXLCZ)99540000000004377620202201d2021 |y 0engurmn|---annantxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierAdvances in Molecular SimulationBasel, SwitzerlandMDPI - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute20211 electronic resource (288 pages)3-0365-2710-9 3-0365-2711-7 Molecular simulations are commonly used in physics, chemistry, biology, material science, engineering, and even medicine.
