Description: The expression artes liberales, found first in Cicero, has had a lasting and multiform impact through Seneca and Martianus Capella to our days. In its essence, the expression calls for a complete education—over and above strictly technical training—a project which still has a bearing today with reference to Cicero; this is a credit to Cicero, but the project itself is not without issues. [Görler] Quote : De inventione 1.35 ; Epistulae ad familiares 4.4.4 ; and De oratore, Brutus, Topica, Tusculanae disputationes.
