Ancient Guide to Good Politics: A Literary and Ethical Reading of Cicero's De Republica
Cicero's De Republica, a meticulously crafted dialogue, reveals his profound craft and thought. As a statesman and philosopher, Cicero has gained renewed interest in recent decades, and scholars have found in his work a unique and relevant teaching on republicanism, liberty, leadership, and citizenship. Through a close reading of De Republica, Moryam VanOpstal highlights Cicero's ingenuity in addressing age-old philosophical and political questions related to the best way of life, the relationship of justice and law, the founding of republics, the cycles of regimes, the guide of the republic, and the mixed regime. Instead of offering simplistic teachings on duty, power, and justice, Cicero presents us with reflections and puzzles that turn the question back to us, pointing us to deeper unities than the disparate appearances of things might suggest. VanOpstal shows that Cicero intended his dialogue as a provocation for us to live lives that are more fully characterized by noble thought and thoughtful deed.
