Download or read book Tusculan disputations II V written by Marcus Tullius Cicero and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 1990 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Fifth Tusculan Disputation is the finest of the five books, its nearest rival being the First (already edited in this series). The middle three books, represented in this edition by the Second, are, as the author clearly intended, less elevated, though still showing Cicero's flair for elegant and lively exposition, and providing much valuable information about the teaching of the main Hellenistic philosophical schools, especially the Stoics. They argue that the perfect human life, or complete human well-being, that of the 'wise man', is unaffected by physical and mental distress or extremes of emotion. Against this background the Fifth puts the positive, mainly Stoic, case that virtue, moral goodness, is alone and of itself sufficient for complete well-being, providing an impressive climax to the whole work. Text with translation and comentary. (Aris and Phillips 1989)
Download or read book Cicero on the Emotions written by Marcus Tullius and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2009-03-05 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The third and fourth books of Cicero's Tusculan Disputations deal with the nature and management of human emotion: first grief, then the emotions in general. In lively and accessible style, Cicero presents the insights of Greek philosophers on the subject, reporting the views of Epicureans and Peripatetics and giving a detailed account of the Stoic position, which he himself favors for its close reasoning and moral earnestness. Both the specialist and the general reader will be fascinated by the Stoics' analysis of the causes of grief, their classification of emotions by genus and species, their lists of oddly named character flaws, and by the philosophical debate that develops over the utility of anger in politics and war. Margaret Graver's elegant and idiomatic translation makes Cicero's work accessible not just to classicists but to anyone interested in ancient philosophy and psychotherapy or in the philosophy of emotion. The accompanying commentary explains the philosophical concepts discussed in the text and supplies many helpful parallels from Greek sources.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cicero's Tusculan Disputations, Book First: The Dream Of Scipio, And Extracts From The Dialogues On Old Age And Friendship; With English Notes Together with the first book of the Tusculan Dispu tations, the editor has here presented the Somnium Scipi onis, and extracts from the dialogues De Senectnte and De Amicitia; thus combining all the passages in the works of Cicero in which the question of the Immortality of the Soul is discussed. Besides the intrinsic interest and value of these treatises as containing the maturest decisions of Old philosophy upon a question of universal and nearest concern, they are adorned with a grace of style and happiness Of illustration characteristic Of their author and worthy of their subject. None of the philo Sophical works of Cicero holds a higher rank than the Tusculan Disputations for beauty of language and eleva tion Of sentiment; in the Dream of Scipio the lively nar rative and poetic coloring enhance the admiration which the loftiness Of its views cannot fail to excite; and the dialogues on Old Age and Friendship have always been regarded as treasuries of thought and models of compo sition! With the exception Of the Somnium Scipionis. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: For the great Roman orator and statesman Cicero, 'the good life' was at once a life of contentment and one of moral virtue - and the two were inescapably intertwined. This volume brings together a wide range of his reflections upon the importance of moral integrity in the search for happiness. In essays that are articulate, meditative and inspirational, Cicero presents his views upon the significance of friendship and duty to state and family, and outlines a clear system of practical ethics that is at once simple and universal. These works offer a timeless reflection upon the human condition, and a fascinating insight into the mind of one of the greatest thinkers of Ancient Rome.
