In the 19th and 20th centuries C. interested historians of philosophy mainly as a source of information about post-Aristotelian philosophy, the vast majority of whose texts have been lost.

Cicero

Mark Tullius (Marcus Tullius Cicero) (3.1.106 BC, Arpinum, - 7.12.43 BC, near Caieta, modern Gaeta), ancient Roman politician, orator, writer. From the class of horsemen (See Horsemen) . He entered political life as a "new man", owing everything only to himself, to his oratorical gift. First performed in 81-80 BC. e. with opposition to Sulla's dictatorship (See Sulla) ; his first great success was his participation in 70 in a high-profile trial against the Sullan Verres; he delivered his first political speech in 66 in support of H. Pompey (See Pompey). The pinnacle of C.'s success was the consulate in 63 (his discovery of the Catiline conspiracy (See Catiline) , leading role in the Senate). With the formation of the 1st Triumvirate a (60), the influence of C. falls, in 58-57 he even had to go into exile, then support G. Pompey and Caesar (See Caesar) in 56-50; after their rupture (in 49), C. tried during the civil war 49-47 to act as a conciliator; with the victory of Caesar (at 47) he moved away from politics. Only after the assassination of Caesar in 44 C., having overcome his hesitation, did he again enter the political struggle as the leader of the Senate and the Republicans. His 14 speeches belong to this time - the "philippic" against M. Anthony (See Antony). In 43, when the senate was defeated in the fight against the 2nd triumvirate (M. Antony, Octavian Augustus, Lepidus) , Z.'s name was entered on the proscription lists; died among the first victims of the repressions of Antony and Octavian Augustus.

The political ideal of C. is a “mixed state system” (a state combining elements of a monarchy, aristocracy, and democracy, the model of which C. considered the Roman Republic of the 3rd - early 2nd centuries BC), supported by “the consent of the estates”, “unanimity of all worthy” (i.e., such a bloc of the senatorial and equestrian estates against democracy and applicants for monarchical power, which rallied the C. against the Catiline conspiracy). The human ideal of C. is “the first man of the republic”, “appeaser”, “guardian and trustee” in times of crisis, combining Greek philosophical theory and Roman political (oratory) practice. Ts. considered himself a model of such a figure. The philosophical ideal of C. is a combination of theoretical skepticism, which does not know the truth, allowing only probability, with practical stoicism, which strictly follows moral duty, which coincides with the public good and world law. The oratorical ideal of C. is “abundance”, the conscious possession of all means capable of both interest, and convince, and captivate the listener; these means are formed in three styles - high, medium and simple. Each style has its own degree of purity of vocabulary (freedom from archaisms, vulgarisms, etc.) and harmony of syntax (rhetorical periods). Thanks to the development of these tools, Ts. became one of the founders and classics of the Latin literary language.

From the writings of Ts. survived (not counting fragments) 58 speeches - political (against Catiline, Anthony, etc.) and mainly judicial; 19 treatises (partly in a dialogic form) on rhetoric, politics (“On the State”, “On Laws”), practical philosophy (“Tusculan Conversations”, “On Duties”, etc.), theoretical philosophy (“On the Limits of Good and Evil ”, “On the nature of the gods”, etc.); over 800 letters - an important psychological document, a monument to the Latin spoken language and a source of information about the era of civil wars in Rome.
