Description: Le manque d’originalité tant reproché aux oeuvres de Cicéron ne doit pas masquer son art et ses jaillissements. [PhR] - Abstract: This chapter argues that Cicero, so immediately recognizable as a human being, has carried the burden of unreasonable expectations. It evokes, with firmness and sympathy, the pressures on a power-holder who must make political judgements without time for philosophical reflection. Cicero is not a philosopher or even an intellectual in politics: he is an intellectual politician, a man of letters -3 index
