Titolo: Cicero and Epicurus, Ciceronian criticism of the Epicurus Summum Bonum in the Late writings
Rivista/Miscellanea: Persona, VII, N.° 13
Anno edizione: 2024
Parole chiave: Philosophie - Filosofia - Philosophy
Descrizione: In the last years of his life Cicero began with a period of prolific philosophical production that was far from the oratorical discourses that characterized his previous intellectual production. This change of writing has motivated the realization of this work since it searches for determine which were the reasons that led Cicero to produce, at this stage, the most of his philosophical work. Judging by the acceptation that the school of Epicurus had in the Republic of the first century BC, and by the numerous allusions that Cicero made, in his philosophical writings (also called Late Writings), to epicureism, it is determined that one of the motives of Ciceronian philosophy has been the criticism of the epicurean conception of the Bonum. With this task, Cicero search for warning his fellow citizens about the danger of epicurean ethic, since, according to the arpinate, the teachings of the Hellenistic philosopher implied an enormous risk for the basis of the roman Republic. This work also emphasizes the strong historical influences that both Hellenism and the late Roman Republic exerted on the doctrines of both thinkers, since we consider that they affected significantly the thinking of both philosophers, crystallizing in absolutely opposite ethical ideas [Author].
