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. 606 $aPhilosophy, Ancient 607 $aRome$xPolitics and government$y265-30 B.C 610 $aAcademic Skepticism. 610 $aBellum Catilinae. 610 $aBellum Iugurthinum. 610 $aCato the Younger. 610 $aCicero. 610 $aDe Divinatione. 610 $aDe Finibus. 610 $aDe Natura Deorum. 610 $aDe Officiis. 610 $aDe Senectute. 610 $aEnnius. 610 $aJulius Caesar. 610 $aMarcus the Younger. 610 $aParadoxa Stoicorum. 610 $aQuintus Cicero. 610 $aRhetorica ad Herennium. 610 $aRoman elite. 610 $aSallust. 610 $aTopica. 610 $aTullia. 610 $aTusculan Disputations. 610 $aaction. 610 $aamicitia. 610 $acharacter. 610 $acivil war. 610 $acultural life. 610 $adedicatees. 610 $adictatorship. 610 $aintellectual activity. 610 $aintellectual life. 610 $alate Roman republic. 610 $aletters. 610 $amos maiorum. 610 $anegotium. 610 $aoratory. 610 $aotium. 610 $apatriotism. 610 $aphilosophical writings. 610 $aphilosophy. 610 $apolitical life. 610 $apolitics. 610 $aprefaces. 610 $apublic life. 610 $areaders. 610 $arhetoric. 610 $atranslation. 610 $atreatises. 610 $avolumen prohoemiorum. 615 0$aPhilosophy, Ancient. 676 $a320.1 700 $aBaraz$b Yelena$f1975-$0480293 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790009803321 996 $aA written republic$93839137 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05775nam 2200721 450 001 9910808336103321 005 20230120011051.0 010 $a1-78063-222-3 035 $a(CKB)2550000000099451 035 $a(EBL)1584458 035 $a(OCoLC)866858739 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000767648 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12257279 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000767648 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10740294 035 $a(PQKB)11164870 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL1584458 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10817799 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL550228 035 $a(CaSebORM)9781843345527 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1584458 035 $a(EXLCZ)992550000000099451 100 $a20131230d2011 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aHuman resources management in China $ecases in HR practice /$fDoug Davies and Liang Wei ;
