Cicero (Marcus Tullius, 106–43 BCE), Roman lawyer, orator, politician and philosopher, of whom we know more than of any other Roman, lived through the stirring era which saw the rise, dictatorship, and death of Julius Caesar in a tottering republic. In his political speeches especially and in his correspondence we see the excitement, tension and intrigue of politics and the part he played in the turmoil of the time. Of about 106 speeches, delivered before the Roman people or the Senate if they were political, before jurors if judicial, 58 survive (a few of them incompletely). In the fourteenth century Petrarch and other Italian humanists discovered manuscripts containing more than 900 letters of which more than 800 were written by Cicero and nearly 100 by others to him. These afford a revelation of the man all the more striking because most were not written for publication. Six rhetorical works survive and another in fragments. Philosophical works include seven extant major compositions and a number of others; and some lost. There is also poetry, some original, some as translations from the Greek.

西塞羅論老年,他的觀點很正很美德。 老年因為身體不如青年口腹之欲,床第之歡也減少瞭但不應看成是缺點恰恰以為欲望的減少,而成為一個更加理性穩重之人更加接近“自然”或說是神性。 老年之後也更加理解死亡的意義,或則說是看通瞭死亡。西塞羅認為死亡並不是一種泯滅消散,...
評分當時是抱著重看一遍的心態從朋友那藉來這本書的,翻開後纔發現這和大一時看過的那本馬可·奧勒留的書不是同一本書,卻都叫做《沉思錄》,當時特彆無語。不過盡管有忽悠讀者之嫌,但這本書還是很值得一看的,這是自己讀過的描寫最純粹的友誼的文字,文中舉的偉人之間交往的例子...
評分縱觀古羅馬的曆史其實是從一個方圓二十英裏的小國不斷對外擴張、以戰爭手段開疆拓土的過程。有趣的是它在不同時期曾齣現過兩種截然不同的政體。一是共和國政體,它實際上包含瞭君主製、民主製和貴族製的思想。這時候的羅馬共和國政權實體有兩個組成部分:最重要的部分是元老院...
評分用中國人的眼光來看論責任這個話題,是一樁頗有意思的事情。多數人可能都會用固定的思路,陳詞濫調。然而,西塞羅在講責任的第一章卻是《道德上的善》。 作者列舉瞭四種道德上的善。第一種善,也是極其齣人意料——它是關於知識的真理,也就是求知,因為求知最能激發人的本性。...
