"Ciceroniana" erforscht die vielseitige Verwendung der Erzählform Anekdote in Ciceros rhetoriktheoretischen und philosophischen Schriften. Damit liegt eine Studie vor, die mit der Prämisse eines systematischen Einsatzes der Anekdote bei Cicero erstmals unter Berücksichtigung aller theoretischen Texte dem anekdotischen Schreiben Ciceros in seinen praktischen Anwendungen und theoretischen Reflexionen auf den Grund geht und zudem nach der Rolle Ciceros in der Entwicklung des Miniaturgenres von der Antike bis zur Moderne fragt. Besonderes Interesse gilt den epistemischen Rückstößen dieses Miniaturnarrativs auf Ciceros Vermittlung von Rhetoriktheorie und Philosophie. Neben Detailinterpretationen ausgewählter Anekdoten in Zusammen- und Gegenspiel mit ihren Kontexten, in ihren verschiedentlichen De- und Rekontextualisierungen bei Cicero selbst oder in ihrer Funktion als argumentative Strukturelemente und signifikantes Stilmerkmal intradiegetischer Sprecher bietet dieses Buch auch einen Überblick über sämtliches anekdotisches Material in Ciceros Philosophie und Rhetoriktheorie. Im Abgleich der Anekdote mit anderen, weitaus häufiger erforschten narrativen Kleinformen wie dem "exemplum" oder der Aitiologie macht "Ciceroniana" die Anekdote zu einem gleichrangigen Wissensträger der Antike und einem zentralen Element antiker Wissensgeschichte. Reihe Episteme in Bewegung.

Cicero is one of the most important and influential thinkers within the history of Western philosophy. For the last thirty years, his reputation as a philosopher has once again been on the rise after close to a century of very low esteem. This Companion introduces readers to 'Cicero the philosopher' and to his philosophical writings. It provides a handy port-of-call for those interested in Cicero's original contributions to a wide variety of topics such as epistemology, the emotions, determinism and responsibility, cosmopolitanism, republicanism, philosophical translation, dialogue, aging, friendship, and more. The international, interdisciplinary team of scholars represented in this volume highlights the historical significance and contemporary relevance of Cicero's writings, and suggests pathways for future scholarship on Cicero's philosophy as we move through the twenty-first century.

Cicero's dialogues De oratore (On the Orator) and De re publica (On the Commonwealth), composed between 55 and 51 BCE, examine two topics central to Roman public life: the role of the orator in society and the importance of honorable statesmanship for the preservation of republican government--which came to an end in Rome with the dictatorship of Julius Caesar only a few years later. The two dialogues are closely related to one another in Cicero's choice of Plato as a literary model, in the selection of Roman public figures of the two generations before Cicero as speakers, and in their intertwined arguments about the values of civic life and political engagement.The Lost Republic provides the first detailed analysis of these two dialogues taken together. It demonstrates how carefully they complement one another and, in addition to explaining their arguments and their place in the history of rhetoric and political theory respectively, reads them as the first examples of literary dialogue in Latin. Cicero, as James Zetzel demonstrates, uses Platonic models as a means to question the value of Platonic ideals, just as he uses an idealized portrait of Roman aristocrats of earlier generations both to praise and to interrogate the virtues of the Roman past. The two dialogues create a complex and subtle argument about the relationship between the traditional values of Rome and the new approaches to both ethics and rhetoric brought by Greek philosophy. By treating these dialogues as masterpieces of literary imagination shaped to present a compelling vision of the intellectual and moral underpinnings of civil society, Zetzel makes an original and important contribution to our understanding of Cicero and of the world in and about which he wrote.
