Descrizione: Jula Wildberger intervenes in a longstanding debate among scholars about Cicero’s vexing representations of Stoic axiology in De finibus and De officiis. She argues that Cicero’s approach to the honestum is based on a consistent ethical outlook, but one that does not straightforwardly or accurately represent the Stoic conception of the kalon. Wildberger’s chapter invites us to consider the depth, and, just as importantly, the limitations of Cicero’s engagement with the Stoic tradition [Hahmann & Vazquez 2025, 6].
