Extractions: Cicero (c. 106-43 B.C.) Marcus Tullius Cicero was born on January 3, 106 BC and was murdered on December 7, 43 BC. His life coincided with the decline and fall of the Roman Republic, and he was an important actor in many of the significant political events of his time (and his writings are now a valuable source of information to us about those events). He was, among other things, an orator, lawyer, politician, and philosopher. Making sense of his writings and understanding his philosophy requires us to keep that in mind. He placed politics above philosophical study; the latter was valuable in its own right but was even more valuable as the means to more effective political action. The only periods of his life in which he wrote philosophical works were the times he was forcibly prevented from taking part in politics Cicero's life During his term as consul (the highest Roman office) in 63 BC he was responsible for unraveling and exposing the conspiracy of Catiline, which aimed at taking over the Roman state by force, and five of the conspirators were put to death without trial on Cicero's orders. Cicero was proud of this too, claiming that he had singlehandedly saved the commonwealth; many of his contemporaries and many later commentators have suggested that he exaggerated the magnitude of his success. But there can be little doubt that Cicero enjoyed widespread popularity at this time - though his policy regarding the Catilinarian conspirators had also made him enemies, and the executions without trial gave them an opening.

Extractions: I criticize by creation, not by finding fault. What is so beneficial to the people as liberty, which we see not only to be greedily sought after by men, but also by beasts, and to be preferred to all things. Philosophy, rightly defined, is simply the love of wisdom. Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief. Friendship renders prosperity more brilliant, while it lightens adversity by sharing it and making its burden common. The more laws, the less justice. The foundation of justice is good faith. Every evil in the bud is easily crushed: as it grows older, it becomes stronger. These studies are a spur to the young, a delight to the old; an ornament in prosperity, a consoling refuge in adversity; they are pleasure for us at home, and no burden abroad; they stay up with us at night, they accompany us when we travel, they are with us in our country visits. My precept to all who build, is, that the owner should be an ornament to the house, and not the house to the owner. A good deed in the wrong place is like an evil deed.

Extractions: Cicero: Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC) is best remembered as one of Rome's most famous orators. He was also a writer, politician, and lawyer. Cicero was born into a wealthy but not aristocratic family in Arpinum (now Arpino, Italy). As a youth he studied law, oratory, literature, and philosophy in Rome. After brief military service and an initial three years' experience as a (not very scrupulous) lawyer defending private citizens, he traveled to Greece and Asia, where he continued his studies. He returned to Rome in 77 BC and began his political career, always carefully avoiding alignment with Rome's fractious political factions. In 74 BC he entered the Senate. Although Cicero's family did not belong to the Roman aristocracy, he was supported in the competition for the consulship in 64 BC by most of Rome's rich and powerful (who called themselves the Optimati or "best people"), because they distrusted his aristocratic but less respectable rival, Catiline. The Optimati Cicero returned to Rome in 50 BC, and at this point he finally had to take sides in the roiling political struggles that had racked Rome for the previous thirty years. He had to choose between Julius Caesar's faction and that of Pompey, who finally had revealed himself as Caesar's most bitter foe. Cicero chose Pompey, and Pompey, of course, lost the power struggle in 48 BC. But Cicero landed on his feet. Caesar's "unification policy" co-opting powerful former enemies saved Cicero and many others who had fought on the side of Pompey (including Casius and Brutus who eventually killed Caesar.) Cicero accepted Caesar's overtures of political friendship, and, while Caesar was virtual dictator of Rome, Cicero lived as a private citizen and devoted himself to his writings.

Extractions: arcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 B.C.) was both a Roman orator and statesman. His extensive philosophical interest led him to author several classic philosophical works like "De Oratore" (Hiz 113). Although he was often criticized for lack of originality, few could deny his superiority in rhetoric. Cicero's philosophical writings demonstrate a "fairly coherent and modestly original system of thought" (Hiz 113). At the least, Cicero acquired a foundation for his views from the Academy. The Academy stood for free inquiry and the search for truth or at least what would be considered the most predictable opinion (Clarke 55). Cicero felt that the Greeks had already exhausted the possible methods for the pursuit of truth. The originality of his ideas lies in their combination and not their components. Although historians have creditted Socrates with the union of philosophy and rhetoric, Cicero credits the alliance of these arts to the previous followers of rhetorical sophism . In contrast to Socrates, Cicero believed more emphasis should be put on the rhetorical aspect and not the philosophical aspect of sophism(Siegal 12). Cicero believed that the productive application of knowledge for the guidance of human affairs was the greatest of human accomplishments. Philosophy generated knowledge but rhetorical persuasion made it effective. Each was dependent upon the other. They could not stand alone. A great man would be the master of both.
