Pagine: 77-100
Parole chiave: Philosophie - Filosofia - Philosophy, Sources - Fonti - Sources
Descrizione: In De re publica Chrysippus is censored for resorting to a mere verbal definition when dealing with the notion of justice. In the extant text of De re publica no mention is made of any Peripatetic source except Aristotle’s On Justice; but as the context shows, even that need not have been used directly since the reference is contained in Philus’ presentation of Carneades’ speech against natural justice. The defense of political engagement that starts the De re publica is important for our purposes because of the justification that Cicero gives. He refers to the primacy of the practical over the contemplative life and maintains that there is not only a necessity for an active engagement but also a natural love for such activity: amor ad communem salute. In Aristotle’s Politics the free man, the eleutheros, is increasingly depicted as the eleutherios, the person who has undergone an education in the liberal arts [Author]
