'However one defines Man, the same definition applies to us all. This is sufficient proof that there is no essential difference within mankind.' (Laws l.29-30) Cicero's The Republic is an impassioned plea for responsible governement written just before the civil war that ended the Roman Republic in a dialogue following Plato. Drawing on Greek political theory, the work embodies the mature reflections of a Roman ex-consul on the nature of political organization, on justice in society, and on the qualities needed in a statesman. Its sequel, The Laws, expounds the influential doctrine of Natural Law, which applies to all mankind, and sets out an ideal code for a reformed Roman Republic, already half in the realm of utopia. This is the first complete English translation of both works for over sixty years and features a lucid Introduction, a Table of Dates, notes on the Roman constitution, and an Index of Names.

寫於11.1.20前後 《法律篇》中的自然法思想 一、《法律篇》中的自然法思想 自然法思想在西塞羅之前,已有萌芽,但在《法律篇》中,得到瞭較為詳細的闡發。《法律篇》中,西塞羅論述自然法的邏輯,初看起來,似乎並不容易捉摸,但加以推敲,仍是有跡可循的。我試圖按照自己的...
評分【按語:蘇力先生譯本的中譯前言是誤導性的,強調西塞羅政治思想毫無獨特之處,說其要素都可以追溯到諸如柏拉圖和波利比烏斯(Polybius)等人。但事實上西塞羅的《國傢篇/政治篇》的政治思想卻呈現瞭一種與柏拉圖《理想國》截然不同的氣質:一種基於政治曆史和現實政治參與的真...
評分“人民隻有當構成人民的各個個體,由一種正義的閤夥關係而匯聚起來時纔存在。” 西塞羅對正義的理解和重視讓人有種震顫的感覺,覺得一個不正義的國傢便不能稱為一個真正的國傢,一個不正義的政府也不能稱為一個真正的政府,一個不正義的民族也不能稱為真正的民族。而正義,究竟...
評分西塞羅模仿柏拉圖,以一個神聖的節日場閤作為開頭,以西庇阿之夢作為結束。從對話體裁到人物安排(西庇阿相當於蘇格拉底,鮑魯斯之孫圖貝羅類似於格勞孔)再到討論主題(政體、正義)都讓人聯想到瞭柏拉圖。但如沃格林所說:“相似之處也隻有這些,錶麵的關聯所具有的象形性特...

評分當他許多年後依然抱著他在喀提林陰謀時期做的那點事情喋喋不休時,甚至會覺得他有些可憐。所以如果想知道人在試圖自我贊美時能顯得有多滑稽,請參考西塞羅《國傢篇》第一捲捲首語與《法律篇》中他兩個兄弟對他的贊美。
